Back in Denver

We arrived back in Denver last night after a nice winter-weather week at the cabin. It's nice to be home and sleep in our own bed. Julie agrees and would add that it's nice to have indoor plumbing again. I hate the fact that I have all this e-mail to plow through and respond to. I like the fact that I'm super motivated to learn new stuff. So motivated that I ordered a few books from Amazon. I hope I can suppress my desire to play on the computer (i.e. blogging, open source) and just learn for the next month or so. On my agenda: Spring, WebWork and a Java 1.4 Programmer Certification. 1 month, 2000 pages - if I can restrain my internet addiction, it should be a breeze.

In other news, I'm pumped to see that IDEA is available for $249. My question is - does that give me a license for both a Windows and OS X install?

I have been playing with JSF and Struts integration and I see a great potential there. I suggest that you look at these before diving into Webwork.

You can use your IDEA license on Win32, Linux, or OS X. At least I have.

Actually, I should amend that -- you can only run one instance of IDEA with a license on a subnet. Firing up another instance will shut down one or the other. This has never been a problem for me.

I agree that JSF will be a <em>must learn</em> in the coming months. However, since 1.0 won't be released until March - I'll wait until then. The tough part comes when I try to convince clients to use WW or JSF over Struts. It shouldn't be hard to convince them to use JSF over Struts (especially if the tools vendors show up to play). WW might be a different story, but if it really is easier than Struts, then learning it should be a cake walk.

Ditto Chris' comments on IntelliJ - I run it on Windows and OS X, just not at the same time.

Don't use JSF *instead* of Struts, use it *with* Struts :-) Craig McClanahan (original Struts author and JSF spec lead) has written the Struts Faces library which integrates the two. It's in the contrib folder of your Struts distribution. (Disclaimer: JSF is still on *my* todo list, so I can't do much more than point you in the direction - http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/faqs/kickstart.html#jsf )

I have been using JSF with struts since christmas day and I like it so far. Hope tiles integration would work soon.
