Java: Near to the Barking SealsJava development, J2EE, IDEs, XML, SOAP, toolsIntegrating Scripting With Java- March 10, 2004 I just read an excellent overview of how to embed scripting language engines into Java code, written by tomatsu. The overview covers Jacl, BeanShell, Jython, Rhino, Groovy, and Pnuts.The examples start with the basics and then grow more complex. Reading this short article reminded me how excellent the Pnuts documentation is. I also noted that Pnuts compiles scripts to byte code now, a nice advance.http://www.jroller.com/ericfj/entry/integrating_scripting_with_java Running Junit from Ant in Eclipse- March 5, 2004 Out of the box, Eclipse does not support the Junit or Junit reporting Ant tasks.

It includes a PersonalJava engine, runs Linux, and has a huge development community. As my Zaurus slowly withered away, I started looking at what to get to replace it. There are not a lot of choices. I really got used to the small thumb keyboard on the Zaurus, so I decided I must get a PDA with a keyboard. That leaves a number of PalmOS systems, especially the cool but too small Sony UX-50, one HP...http://www.jroller.com/ericfj/entry/yopy_the_geekiest_pda Getting Started with Eclipse, and Using VSS, Oracle, and Tomcat- March 3, 2004 I'm getting more questions on this, so I thought I'd write up my notes on getting started with Eclipse, using Visual SourceSafe (VSS) for source control, Oracle as a database, and Tomcat as a deployment platform. Download and Extract - Dowload the latest released version from eclipse.org for your platform. Right now, I'm using the 3.0 milestone 7 (or M7) release. This is technically a pre-release version of Eclipse 3.0. I like running the latest because of...http://www.jroller.com/ericfj/entry/getting_started_with_eclipse_and |
