The XDoclet Team is looking for a new name for XDoclet 2. This is to eliminate confusion b/w version 1 and version 2. Checkout the current suggestions and add your own if you like. If you don't know what XDoclet is, or haven't used it, you're wasting precious development hours IMO.
Here are a number of Java-related treats I found this morning that will likely serve as good personal bookmarks in the future.
- Ryan is looking for an XML-based properties class and one of his commenters (Dmitry) points to this article about the J2SE 1.4 Preferences API. Good stuff.
- From JavaWorld (via Erik): Java Tip 138: Still parsing to generate your JavaBeans' XML representation?
- Dave Hyatt makes XBL look wicked cool! If we could only get Microsoft to support it, it might actually be useful.
- After reading this article I wonder if I should replace my Powerbook (w/in the next year) with another Powerbook, or an Intel based laptop. I do most of my development on Windows because I'm more productive and as an American, I get a buzz from being productive. So why buy another Mac? Intel-based PCs are faster - if I really want a Unix core, I can just run Linux. With VMWare for XP, I find it hard to justify buying another Mac. Besides, I already own one and the desire is out of my system. And furthermore, I dig how Dell will come to your house and fix your PC, whereas Apple makes you send it in for two weeks - what's up with that?!
