Latest updates on bean binding, SwingWorker integration for long running methods and bean validations. Java SwingBuilder is an attempt to bring dynamic language-type productivity to Java Swing UI development by defining the layout/event wiring/binding in a separate YAML file and leaving the Java class to focus on pure business-side code. Inspired by Groovy SwingBuilder, Ruby on Rails (YAML) and GTK+ libGlade.

The CommunityOne conference this year was on Monday, May 5, 2008, the day before JavaOne "proper". It's easy to think of CommunityOne as a "pre-JavaOne", or "JavaOne, Day 0" because, like JavaOne, it's sponsored by Sun Microsystems, it's at the same venue, and it is logistically managed as sort-of an extension of JavaOne (your JavaOne conference pass is used, but with an optional one-day add-on for CommunityOne). So why the distinct conference name and date? Aren't CommunityOne and JavaOne the same kind of conference sponsored by the same company?

A tool for those groups that need to expose Hadoop to the 'casual' user who needs to get and manipulate valuable data on a Hadoop cluster, but doesn't have the time to learn Java, the Hadoop API, or to think in MapReduce to solve problems that are a notch or more above trivial.

Well, I’m talking about hot.. deployment, obviously. In the last months, it happened to me quite a few times to talk with different people about the possibility of being able, in a Java Web Application, to dynamically add/start/stop plugins... [...]... I turned out it was extremely simple.

Recently Hadoop posted a HadoopVsGridgain comparison page on Wiki. I have always been a big fan of Hadoop. Although I believe that the product is very hard to use and API's are far from obvious, I still think they have achieved quite a lot and the fact that Yahoo Search runs on Hadoop proves that system works and scales quite well. However, this ridiculous "comparison" threw me a bit off and the only reason I can think they put it up is that GridGain started significantly cutting into their user base.

Have you looked at Twitter? I am addicted. The interesting thing is that David Pollack (seen on this blog commenting, after having been given unclear info about TC in the past) and I played with "the Twitter problem" in a Terracotta context / vacuum. This blog summarizes our conversation in a _very short_ blog.

As reported yesterday from CommunityOne: * MySQL Server is and will always remain fully functional and open source, * so will the MySQL Connectors, and * so will the main storage engines we ship.

I really wanted Sun to announce that JavaFX was fully cooked and 1.0 was ready - pick up your CDs on the way out the door. But, they didn’t. To be fair, that expectation is completly unreasable. It’s tough to balance the pragmatism of that against the spectacle expectations of a big event like JavaOne. The good news for Sun is that this whole RIA thing is still up in the air and like NetBeans to Eclipse, the mile-stones announced today make it feel like Sun can out-last people who keep saying they’re dead in this space.

While working at some really old code that provided a fulltext search feature, I was at one point rather unsatisfied due to the fact that said code resisted all attempts to debug it. This lead to the decision to sit down on a rainy weekend to try if I couldn't come up with something more useful, and most importantly, scalable. After about three hours of trial and error with Zend_Service_REST and Zend_Search_Lucene, I came up with a working prototype of a service-oriented fulltext index.

At Grid Dynamics we see GridGain as a simple, elegant, extensible, open-source, pure-Java platform that makes traditional high-performance computing and all modern map/reduce applications significantly simpler and cheaper to develop and deploy than it has ever been possible before. The platform's extensibility also allows GridGain to be used for a wider set of applications and enables the integration with other tools, systems and frameworks.
