http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=302153
JavaOne is coming up in September and I am thinking about my to-know-more-about list. I am thinking JavaFX, Executors, and performance tuning applications and tools.

Java has been attracting communities of programmers for the past twelve years. Much of Java's appeal, however, is
based on its ability to stay simple while at the same time incorporating more complex features. But the big
challenge ahead for Java is how to maintain the success formula in the ever-changing world of the future.

Software Reusability: Myth Or Reality?
http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=187331
Every Java project is designed for reusability. Yet when time comes to do a new project in the same domain we always opt for building from scratch. Is software reusability, especially in the J2EE realm, just a myth?
