Title: InformIT Java Newsletter - Oct 12, 2004

InformIT Java Newsletter Oct 12, 2004 Java Reference Guide Your Host Steven Haines This week in the Java industry, all the news is about Sun releasing Java 5.0 (Tiger). Tiger adds many sorely missed features and touts itself as the most stable and highest quality JDK released yet. Kudos to the hard working guys at Sun for getting this out the door! In the reference guide last week, we looked at loading images into a database BLOB, retrieving them, and serving them from a Servlet. This week we delve deeper into image manipulation and discover how to generate image thumbnails in memory and load them into the database. We have a sample chapter from Eclipse Kickstart that demonstrates how to use the Eclipse debugger to analyze standalone and remote Java code.
