Yes, we will release the demo. No, there will be no video, only audio. That’s why you have to go to JavaOne. I’m sorry to say it, but we can’t give everything away for free :p

Hi Romain,

I was wondering if there is a video of the extreme GUI makeover 2007 presentation available somewhere. I just saw the PDF of the presentation at the sun site, but there is a lot of “Demo” slides that leave everything to “imagination”. Also, I would like to know if the actual application will be released to give people the chance to peek inside it.

Thanks,

C. Arango.

Never mind. I see from your slides that you’re using Thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler(). The risk here, of course, is that your handler could potentially be lost if another exception handler is installed. But there really doesn’t seem to be a fail-safe way to ensure that you catch all exceptions all the time. Maybe we’ll have a better solution available in JDK 7.

Your extreme makeover session is the one session that I really regret having to miss this year. You can bet I won’t let it happen again next year!

Over on the Swing app framework list, there has been some debate over the best way to install a global exception handler in a Swing app. What technique did you guys use for this application?

By looking around @ JavaOne, I must be the only Java developer around without a Mac.

I can’t believe they added that animation for getting the password wrong … well, maybe it is a good alternative in that case instead of making the user feel stupid with a threatening error message (or worse, dialog).

LOL! I *love* this animation, and I want it for my applications too!

Great, as always! ;)
