Garibaldi: Have you ever tried one of these?
Miss Cramer: What is it?
Garibaldi: I'm not sure. According to the translator, it's either an aphrodisiac or a floor wax. I can't decide if it's worth the risk or not.

Eclipse is a popular Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for Java programming. It can also be used as an environment for other languages like C++ and Ruby, as a framework for consolidating tools of any kind, and as a Rich Client Platform for creating desktop or server applications. The Eclipse open source community is responsible for dozens of projects, ranging from business intelligence to social networking. Eclipse is the name of the non-profit foundation that manages those projects, as well. (And, while I'm pretty sure it's not a floor wax, there is also an Eclipse automobile, a soccer team, and a brand of chewing gum.)
Eclipse version 3.2 forms the cornerstone of the Eclipse Callisto release train: a simultaneous release of ten Eclipse projects on June 30, 2006. This article will focus on the Eclipse IDE, in particular its Java Development Tools (JDT).

Wire Hibernate Transactions in Spring
by Binildas Christudas
05/18/2005
This article is intended to show how Spring can be used to assemble components, including their transaction contexts. Connecting to a single data store from within a J2EE application is not a big hurdle. But when it comes to assembly and integration of enterprise-class components, the scenario gets complicated.

Implementing Transaction Suspension in Spring
by Juergen Hoeller
07/04/2005
The Spring Framework, a popular Java/J2EE application framework built on a lightweight Inversion-of-Control container, is particularly well-known for its data access and transaction management capabilities. Spring's declarative transaction demarcation can be applied to any POJO target object, with the full sophistication of declarative transactions as found in EJB Container-Managed Transactions (CMT). The choices for a back-end transaction manager range from simple JDBC-based transactions to full-fledged J2EE transactions via JTA.

Europe Shows Its Stuff: Innovate 2006
Michael Arrington
Dozens of (mostly) European companies showcased their new consumer web applications at Innovate 2006 in Zaragoza, Spain this week. As usual with conferences like these, the companies were young, rough and hungry. And I see a lot of potential with at least a few of them. I’ve summarized my favorites below and look forward to profiling these individually.

There have been big changes in the online video space since I wrote a comparison post of the companies in the space (Flickrs of Video) last November.
Some things haven’t changed: Flickr still hasn’t released a video product, and YouTube (TechCrunch posts here) is still the reigning champ of online video with just massive traffic growth and mindshare.
But new tools are coming out to make sharing videos online even easier.

Round-up of 50 AJAX Toolkits and Frameworks
The following is a compilation of all of the AJAX toolkits and frameworks that I have either reviewed or have first hand experience with and would recommend. It seem like a new AJAX toolkit or framework has come out every week or so since the term AJAX was coined a little over a year ago. As a designer and developer I find these tools invaluable in the process of rapid web development.

With the popularity of AJAX growing every day I've had the opportunity to collect and try out many more tutorials in the last several months. These examples and how-to's represent the best tutorials that I've personally used or otherwise had the opportunity to work with out of the overall group. This post is intended for individuals who learn best by example. Most of the listed tutorials come complete with instructions and source code. I've also categorized all of the tutorials for easy browsing. Enjoy!

Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is a Java software development framework that makes writing AJAX applications like Google Maps and Gmail easy for developers who don't speak browser quirks as a second language. Writing dynamic web applications today is a tedious and error-prone process; you spend 90% of your time working around subtle incompatabilities between web browsers and platforms, and JavaScript's lack of modularity makes sharing, testing, and reusing AJAX components difficult and fragile.

OK if this does what it says on the tin (aka: In production, your code is compiled to JavaScript, but at development time it runs in the Java virtual machine. That means when your code performs an action like handling a mouse event, you get full-featured Java debugging, with exceptions and the advanced debugging features of IDEs like Eclipse).

JavaScript Recommendations for AJAX Component Writers
Author: Greg Murray
With AJAX there are many choices on how to use different aspects of JavaScript. This document proposes some recommendations for developers creating AJAX components with a focus on using JavaScript on the client and Java on the server. Many of these recommendations will carry over to other server-side technologies.

The Java Persistence API
- A Simpler Programming Model for Entity Persistence
By Rahul Biswas and Ed Ort,
May 2006
The major theme of version 5 of the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE, formerly referred to as J2EE) is ease of development. Changes throughout the platform make the development of enterprise Java technology applications much easier, with far less coding. Significantly, these simplifications have not changed the platform's power: The Java EE 5 platform maintains all the functional richness of the previous version, J2EE 1.4.
