Those of you following my work are probably aware we'll be presenting a JavaOne session about JSR 310, aka the new Date & Time API.

Making your components work nicer inside Matisse

Posted by mister__m on February 20, 2008 at 10:20 AM EST

A co-worker had been developing some nice-looking custom components for a customer project. It was tightly integrated with the backend logic, though, so he tried to use it with Matisse, there were several issues, from class loading errors to slowness, since the component was trying to do its "real task" inside the designer.

Ok, so after a long trip home, I finally managed to write the final installment about JavaOne.

Tuesday BOFs

Posted by mister__m on May 10, 2007 at 5:53 PM EDT

So, let's proceed with my JavaOne report. I've attended the Meet the Swing, AWT and i18n Teams BOF, mainly because Sun's representative in our JSR would be there. We - Stephen was with me - met him and another Sun guy who works in the util & i18n team. They are nice chaps and I regret not taking a picture with them. Maybe I will fix that later this week :-)

Everyone is a Brazilian

During keynote this morning, John Gage has said his classic opening sentence again: this week, everyone is a Brazilian. Hey, I am one, so if you come across me during the event, I can probably teach you something ;-)

Monday afternoon at JavaOne

Posted by mister__m on May 8, 2007 at 2:41 PM EDT

After being disappointed at the Matisse session, I decided to go seeing what folks were doing at Redmonk. Well, the unconference was interesting and there were discusssions about scripting languages, invokedynamic and several, several other matters.

A public pledge to NetBeans

I could not be more disappointed after attending the Swing GUI Building With Matisse: Chapter II presented at NetBeans.

NetBeans Day morning

Posted by mister__m on May 7, 2007 at 4:25 PM EDT

So today is the CommunityOne event, an event where several communities get together in order to exchange ideas, watch sessions and, well, go to some parties. Right now, I am attending the NetBeans general session held by Jonathan Schwartz and Rich Green:
