Eclipse RC1

Damn, just when I got everything upgraded to M5, a new version of Eclipse is released. Oh well, I started using M5 and JDK 1.4.1 Preview 10 on OS X today and while the JDK works pretty well, Eclipse did crash on me once. I wish I could get the fonts down to WinXP's size - they're so *huge* on the Mac. My biggest pet peeve right now - the font size in the left navigation window. I've reduced the size of the rest of the fonts, but can't seem to fix this one. Is Eclipse a FontBitch?

My Web Standards Compaign. Target 1 = Jakarta

I'm thinking of starting a campaign to motivate Jakarta's project sites to be standards-compliant. By this, I mean get rid of the font tags and other color/size/positioning elements in the HTML. Use CSS and XHTML. Think it's worth pursuing. In reality, it doesn't really buy much except the prestige of being standards-compliant. Of course, I might be the only one who sees this as important. Wouldn't it be interesting if Java compilers were like browsers. You could do some things in one, and it wouldn't work in another compiler. That's the way the web is - let's fix it.

+1, I love it! Now if you can make it configurable so that all of these can be "configured" to maintain existing views/persistence layers + add the new ones - that would be impressive!
