[The Java Posse] Java User (Group) Activities in the Bay Area?

Hi, I moving into the bay area (around San Francisco). Can someone point me to Java User activities in this area? I have found the a Java User Group in San Franciso: http://www.sfjava.org/ I believe the Java Posse was once trying to setup a Scala User Group. Does this still exists? Cheers, Lar

Given the circular 'we at a dead-lock' type posts I see on the modularity EG list (well, the observer list anyway) I get the feeling that it'll be a LONG time since we see modularity in the JDK. And if we do happen to see it for Java 7 - there's likely to be a lot of disgruntled/frustrated people

What I got out of the podcast was that each jdk has a some sort of priorty/theme. For jdk 7, it’s modularity. Like any other business resources are allocated based on achieving that priority. Modularity is the major change for jdk 7. While some of the additional coins proposals and feature request

Well, again, the technology doesn't seem to be precluding anyone from distributing and integrating with those. And if one follows GWT best practices (RESTful architecture, extensible CSS, clean API), it shouldn't be any harder than in any other well-known Java web framework. Are you saying it'

Hurray for the wonderfully overloaded term component, particular confusing to Java developers it seems. On 29 Sep., 16:46, Ruben Reusser wrote: > I was thinking more about components as a 'blog, shopping cart, etc' and not > just single UI components such as a button, table, etc. > > On Tue, Sep

[The Java Posse] Re: The Top 3 Java based web frameworks

I like the WebObjects set of frameworks. It is not a "new kid on the block" and has been around for a long time. It covers the whole technology spectrum from database persistence thru to presentation. It is used by Apple as the foundation technology for the iTunes Music store. Those pages you see

[The Java Posse] Re: The Top 3 Java based web frameworks

Admittedly, I have not gone looking for too many GWT widgets so far, but doing a cursory search revealed a number of seemingly good sources. When I did find myself needing reusable components across my own projects, either for integration with other GWT pages, or for injecting into HTML/JSP, it

Well, I sent out a survey and did some basic information gathering including contacting Dick who helpfully responded. Various venues were discussed, and there seemed to be some interest, but nothing overwhelming and at the time it looked alot like there were only several seriously committed folk.

[The Java Posse] Re: No commercial motivation to make Java 'better'

I think expecting the community to get off their asses and do something is a perfectly valid thing to say. Sun's put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears in Java, lots of people have bet the house on the java framework, and sun's clearly been kind to the community in, amongst other things, open sourci
