Scott Bale's presentation about Guice at the St. Louis JUG tonight is well attended and lively. You can tell Scott liked Guice. He enumerated all the things about Guice that he liked at the beginning of the talk: small, simple powerful, type safe, no xml, easy to use, etc. It's been my experience that people either really like Guice,...

I was asked a JavaFX Script question yesterday that I think other people may encounter, especially the Mac OS X folks who are trapped in a non-"64-bit-Intel-Leopard" (Core Duo, P5, P4, etc.) machine (who are therefore still without a Java 6 JDK). Q: I downloaded the JavaFX Script compiler from http://openjfx.java.sun.com/ (which seems...

Although I've vowed not to post about closures anymore, I can't help but post one more quiz. I know Friday is mostly over for many of my readers, but there are still a few time zones left. Without downloading Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Express Edition and compiling the following C# source file, answer the following question: Q: Will the...

The evolution of the Java programming language has been managed carefully (maybe too carefully) to avoid incompatible language changes. However, binary compatibility was given more consideration than source compatibility. In the words of one of the Java Posses, your class will continue to work as long as you don't recompile your code. Q:...

Brian Goetz on openjfx-compiler mailing list: I've been spending some time the last few days writing an IntelliJ plugin for JavaFX. So far, I've got it to: - recognize .fx files as belonging to JavaFX and associate them with the plugin; - Add the "new JavaFX Class" action to the new menu; - Invoke the JavaFX compiler to...

... for it doesn't work with the newly updated Java SE 6 On The Mac: Chris Adamson: I think you have that backwards. Apple's JVM has been Cocoa-based for a while now (since 1.4). SWT is Carbon-based. And even that wasn't a deal-breaker before. The real problem seems to be that: The new JVM is 64-bit Intel-only You can't mix...
