I was playing around with ANTLR today and was at bit overwhelmed at both the detail and lack of detail in various documentation and resources I was able to find. Plenty of grammar examples kicking around but some more recent tutorials that used ANTLR v3 would have been helpful.
The problem I’m trying to solve is [...]
I was doing some reading and came across Unitils (1.1 was just released).
Unitils is an open source library aimed at making unit testing easy and maintainable. Unitils builds further on existing libraries like DBUnit and EasyMock and integrates with JUnit and TestNG .
Unitils provides general asserion utilities, support for database testing, support for testing with [...]
Being a long weekend, I had a couple hours yesterday to mess around with my Maven build in the hopes of integrating Groovy and ridding myself of a lot of Hibernate boilerplate (you know, all the annoying getters/setters).
I’m currently working on a Seam-based prototype and Groovy is certainly applicable to aspects other than Hibernate but [...]
I must say the Eclipse Memory Analyzer looks pretty slick. There is some pretty good material over on the developers blog. Lastly, there was a talk on it at JavaOne 2008 titled ‘Automated Heap Dump Analysis for Developers, Testers, and Support Employees‘ (multimedia recording).
The Eclipse Memory Analyzer is a fast and feature-rich Java heap analyzer [...]
For the past couple of days I’ve been attending the caBIG Annual Meeting (it’s the 5th such meeting and by all accounts the most well attended).
About caBIG
caBIG™ stands for the cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid™. caBIG™ is an information network enabling all constituencies in the cancer community – researchers, physicians, and patients – to share data [...]
We recently finished migrating our product from Java5 to Java6. The software migration itself went quite smoothly with only a couple unanticipated problems.
However we do have a number of developers on MacBook Pro’s (myself included) that began having problems with other Java-based applications after making Java6 their default JVM.
One such problem was with the popular [...]
For the past couple of weeks I’ve been doing a bit of early development work with Seam, it’s been fun but not without annoyance.
The project is green field which in one respect is quite nice because of the freedom it presents with regards to technology and architecture choices, but on the flip side you’ve actually [...]

I was surprised when the following email came through my inbox last night.
URGENT! PUBLIC HEALTH ADVISORY FROM JAVAONE TEAM
The JavaOne conference team has been notified by the San Francisco Department of Public Health about an identified outbreak of a virus in the San Francisco area. Testing is still underway to identify the specific virus in [...]
We’ve got a fairly significant Swing application that we couldn’t port to Java6 until Apple released a compatible JVM. Fortunately that finally happened last week.
I’m down at JavaOne this week and was motivated to take a stab at resolving the couple dozen compilation problems and get things running.
It really wasn’t too difficult. The most annoying [...]
