The Angular Mini-Book is a
guide to getting started with Angular. You'll learn how to develop a bare-bones application, test it, and
deploy it. Then you'll move on to adding Bootstrap, Angular Material, continuous integration, and authentication.
Spring Boot is a popular framework for building REST APIs. You'll learn how to integrate Angular with Spring Boot and use security best practices like HTTPS and a content security policy.

The JHipster Mini-Book is a
guide to getting started with hip technologies today: Angular, Bootstrap, and Spring
Boot. All of these frameworks are wrapped up in an easy-to-use project called JHipster.
This book shows you how to build an app with JHipster, and guides you through the plethora of tools, techniques and options you can use. Furthermore, it explains the UI and API building blocks so you understand the underpinnings of your great application.

Gerald Bauer wrote an interesting e-mail to the XUL-Announce mailing list a few minutes ago. I think it's a good read - and I'd agree - XUL should be the next generation of web-based UIs, not Java. Java has succeeded on the server-side - let's keep it there.
From the other Matt:
Russ got the #mobitopia IRC Links page up and running. So far today, my favorite links are:
I dig the java.com site - the layout/look is very cool IMO. Christina must be making a bundle from Sun, eh?
I experienced a small issue this morning when trying to remove all the children from a <td> using the following:
// cells[i] is a td in a table
var kids = cells[i].childNodes;
for (j=0; j < kids.length; j++) {
cells[j].removeChild(kids[j]);
}
This (for some reason) doesn't work. So, in the interest of helping others and getting picked up by Google, here's the solution (actually found via Google).
while (cells[i].childNodes[0]) {
cells[i].removeChild(cells[i].childNodes[0]);
}
HTH!
So Java.net has weblogs. Boring ones I suspect. Why? Because this seems to be a "corporate" portal and I doubt that these folks are going to wite about how cool their kids are or how nice their mountain bike ride was (a.k.a. stuff that's interesting). But that's the nature of weblogs - some are good, some aren't. Let me qualify that by saying that some weblogs are interesting to me, and some aren't.
After writing this, I did a little investigating and there are some good bloggers over there (James Duncan Davidson, RSS). There are a couple questions I have. Is the content moderated? Can these bloggers speak their true feelings (can they cuss) - or will Sun remove their posting. Secondly, will they maintain this as their primary blog, or will personal ones continue to be updated. Are we enterering the world of your work blog and your home blog?
Truth is, I probably won't even read them unless they get an RSS feed for all new postings like java.blogs has. I gotta agree with Mike, I'm not changing any bookmarks. But I would like to be convinced otherwise. Hey, at least they're trying - you gotta give them credit for that.
This is why observers are saying that Sun's new Java.net open source portal, which the company will unveil at JavaOne this Tuesday, may prove to be a strategically important move as Sun seeks to remain a vital force in Java standards development. O'Reilly, whose company is codeveloping the network of Websites in partnership with Sun and collaborative tools maker CollabNet, said that in Java.net, Sun is creating "a space that they don't completely control," in the hope of encouraging other vendors to become more involved.
As the focus shifts to Java.net, however, the JCP may become less important, O'Reilly said. "The community is to some extent routing around the JCP, and this site will to some extent accelerate the process," he explained. [Full Article]
The Struts team is proud to announce the release of Struts 1.1 Release
Candidate 2. This release includes some new functionality, but mostly just
fixes for a number of bugs which were reported against earlier versions.
The Struts Team believes that this release is ready for prime time, hence
its designation as a release candidate.
The binary distribution is available at:
http://www.apache.org/dist/jakarta/struts/binaries/
and the source distribution is available at:
http://www.apache.org/dist/jakarta/struts/source/
In addition, the library distribution, which contains updated binaries
without the sample applications, is available at:
http://www.apache.org/dist/jakarta/struts/library/
Details of the changes in this release are available in the Release Notes,
which can be found here:

I'll be updating both Hibernate (to 2.0 Final) and Struts (to 1.1 RC2) today, so I'll let you know if I find any issues.
Update: I found two issues. One is that Hibernate identifies itself as "Hibernate 2.0 beta 6" in its logging (should not have beta 6). The second issue is that the commons-logging.jar file that ships with Struts 1.1 RC2 is missing some .class files. I replaced the commons-logging.jar file with one from a nightly build of Struts I was using and everything seems to be fine. Without the update, I get no logging. I also found that Hibernate no long includes jdom.jar in its distro (it used to be there), the lack of it doesn't seem to impact anything (all my tests run).
Here's a quick summary of winners of JavaWorld's 2002 Editors' Choice Awards. Winners are emphasized with bold. However, we all know that being a finalist is pretty huge too.
Congrats to all.
As reported by Matt and Russ (via e-mail), my RSS Feed had some issues. Moments after receiving Russ's e-mail, I shot an e-mail to the roller-dev team. Dave fixed the problem, I updated my site - and my feed is fixed. Thanks to all that discovered and repaired - you guys rock!
I might as well mirror this list from the great Cactus guru Vincent Massol.
Here are some persons that will be blogging from JavaOne 2003
Update: I added a link in the top-left for JavaOne Blogs. I will continue to add to this list as I find them.
Update 2: You can also checkout the webcasts.
From Slashdot (via Erik of course):
Apple Insider is reporting that Apple will announce computers based on IBM's 64 bit PPC 970 processor in the upcomming WWDC and will market them as G5. The new Power Mac G5s will sport a completely new motherboard design utilizing DDR 400 RAM as well as AGP 8x graphics, FireWire 800, and USB 2.0, sources said. "In the box" connectivity among the news systems is based on Hypertransport which provides 64-bit addressing and will replace Apple's multilevel bus architecture found in current systems. Initial offerings of the Power Mac G5 are said to boast 1.4 to 1.8GHz, single core PPC 970 processors, with the possibility of a dual 1.8GHz chips shortly thereafter.
Sounds good, but how long will those processors take to put in the PowerBooks? My advise - just go Intel - you'll get more customers and it'll be faster! How sweet would it be to buy a new Dell laptop and be able to run Windows, Linux and OS X on the same machine?! That would rock - and I'm willing to bet you'd get a lot of folks buying OS X. But then again, OS X is cheap - it's Apple's hardware that's spendy and it's probably a good revenue driver for them.
