There are many ways to figure out where a class is being loaded from. Naveen uses the -verbose flag of the JVM to figure out where a class is being loaded from. If you are using Pramati Server, then you can use the command: who_load_me to find out which classloader loaded the class, the classloader [...]

Spoiler: The last three pictures speak more than the thousand odd words that precede them Day before: Too many issues resizing photos in Java. Takes too much memory, takes too long, runs out of mem on Mac. A quick comparison with ImageResizer PowerToy shows that the Java code is taking too much memory and time. The difference [...]

Neal gafter has proposed that java language include Constructor Type Inference in order to reduce verbosity. So what was Map<String,List<Thing>> map = new HashMap<String,List<Thing>>(); looks like: Map<String,List<Thing>> map = new HashMap<>(); Though there is an alternate proposal to deduce the LHS...

Looking at question #15 on JDJs Secrets Of The Masters: Core Java Job Interview Questions (Secrets of the masters???!! Whhoaaah!!), I was reminded of the question Vinod once asked me: "Why do catch clauses have to be ordered?" It is generally known that, in Java, the order of the catch clauses is important.

Backward compatibility is a challenge for everyone from the guy writing the kernel to guy building the application. Raymond Chen has written a lot of anecdotes on compatibility issues in windows. (See Compatibility Constraints and Handling Compatibility Hacks.) He has also authored a book with the same title as that of his blog: The old new...
