Back to France
My internship at Sun Microsystems within the Swing team has come to an end. I'm taking the plane back to France tomorrow afternoon. I have spent the most amazing year at Sun working on things that I love with some of the most wonderful people I have ever met. Hopefully I'll be back there very [...]
Extreme GUI Makeover 2006, Screenshots and Video
Scott, Shannon and I gave another session entitled Extreme GUI Makeover this year at JavaOne. As last year's, the room was packed which made us really happy. Since the PDF is available online (login: contentbuilder, pass: doc789) I would like to show you a couple of screenshots and a video if you missed this session. [...]
JSR 295: Beans Bindings
Scott Violet just published a blog about the JSR 295. This JSR defines a binding architecture for JavaBeans. This is very likely to become the binding solution for Swing, and what we will probably see in NetBeans GUI builder for instance. It's worth a look. While you're at it, take a look at the JSR [...]
JavaPolis 2005 DVD is Great!
Right after the JavaPosse BOF at JavaOne, I stumbled upon Stephan Janssen who gave me one of the JavaPolis 2005 DVD. It is a great learning tool since it contains all the audio and slides of all the presentations from JavaPolis 2005! There were many sessions I could not attend during the week and I've [...]

Aerith, All Your Questions Answered
New! Video available (you can skip at 20 minutes to see the demo). Check out the screenshots first (updated). What is Aerith? Aerith is a demo we (Richard Bair, Joshua Marinacci, Chet Haase, Chris Campbell and I) wrote at Sun Microsystems for JavaOne. The featured application is a trip report editor and Flickr account viewer. [...]
Aerith, a Very Cool Swing Demo (Really)
The source code is available under BSD license! At last! Richard and I finally got the chance to show the demo we've been working on recently with Joshua Marinacci and the help of the Swing and Java2D teams. This is also the reason why I didn't show many demos during the past couple of months. [...]
JavaOne Starts Tomorrow! (Almost)
JavaOne is finally here. I’m heading to San Francisco tomorrow for the Licensees Day and the NetBeans Day. I am quite relieved since we had quite a lot to do. All I can tell you is do not miss the Swing demo that we will show during one of the keynotes. I could also entice [...]
Java SE 6 on the Mac, First Impressions
I just checked out, compiled and launched a rather large demo Josh, Rich and I have been working for JavaOne. As it turns out it works beautifully on Java SE 6 on Mac OS X. There are some gotchas (the text antialiasing is not everywhere it should) but I can fix that in a few [...]
Java SE 6 on Mac OS X! Now!
Go to the Apple Developer Connection now! Java SE 6 b77 preview has been released for the Mac/Intel platform! I knew I was right to get this MacBook Pro \o/
A Tale Of Two IDE (Second Act)
I said several times in the past that I was using two IDEs at the same time. As it turns out, working with IntelliJ and NetBeans together is fantastic. They both offer a wonderful feature that I longed for in Eclipse: file system watching. This means that if you change the files in your project [...]
