@jshingler at my work I just replaced prefuse with jung. JDK 5 generics, active developers, etc.
@JonathanGiles Wait... you work for JavaFX at Sun and you don't know what's in JavaFX 1.3?
@lqd @sherod assuming all free downloads were at sun's minimum price, I wouldn't recoop the registration fee.
@kirillcool the J1 2009 CFP came out in the second week of December. My thought is that we should know by the new year if J1 2010 is a go.
@matthewmccull #530-MVN-LUVR - how does one get eclipse and maven to do a compile-hotfix cycle to work (asking for other co-workers)
me: "I wasted two to three days getting the maven build working" co-worker: "Holy S dude! You must be really smart!"

@nadzster I went at 1:15am to get my free Lego rock band. Sleep is for the childless.
@nadzster old navy lego rock band was fairly limited, like 10 to 50 per store. I was lucky and was the next to last to get one at my store.
@paulk_asert TwitterSphere works off of the users declared location in their profile via geonames, not the new geo APIs from twitter.
That's why the worst possible (science) outcome of the LHC would be to find the Higgs Boson, it would merely conform existing theory.
Science is never done. Science is about proving existing theories wrong and creating new theories in light of new evidence.
I reflexivly disbelieve anyone who ever says "the science is done."
@kirillcool Looks like Sun is realizing what a mistake deprecating Swing would be. MS didn't ditch MFC when WPF came out.
Embedding a swing frame in a JavaFX stage is 100% the wrong migration path for most existing busniess/enterprise Swing Apps.
My one wish for the JavaFX 1.3 SDK: a sample where they take SwingSet 2 or 3 and add a tab that is embedded JavaFX.
If you tell a business to re-write an app to take advantage of JavaFX, they will re-write. But it will be in Flex of Silverlight not JavaFX.
@JonathanGiles considering how sun canibalized the swing team expecting parity very soon doesn't seem unreasonable.
heh... legacy ruby apps. That was a good one. Give it five years though...
@headius Are ruby confrences funner just because there are no managers looking for training to support legacy ruby apps?
What is funny about the J2ME/Android articles is that the exact same comparisons to HTML/Android result in an opposite conclusion.
@burke_eric Awsome comic on poke the bear. Tried explaiing it to my wife, who knows how to program, but has never done Java. Failed.
Farmvill and work don't mix. All my pumpkins died. So sad when I don't even have time to slack at work.
Why does the #java7 #closures proposal remind me of twitter #hashtags? Will they closure body be limited to #140 characters too?
I must be fairly sleep deprived, I thought I read somehere that closures are being added go Java 7. Some weird dream.
3yo has a cold, not enough to knock him out but pleanty to make him super cranky. Gonna be a long Saturday.
@codeles For a new home w/ a 1 year warranty get the inspector at the 11 month mark, and send all his findings to the warranty company.
Now if only the adp2 had a built in 3.5mm jack. :(
Random Question: on your google i/o phone (the ADP2 style one) can you see and buy paid market apps?
@headius You hatemonger. (j/k) Wow, It _is_ way too easy to criticize and vilify. And way too easy to do both at the same time!
