James Gosling sent out a reminder asking people to Submit your JavaOne abstracts! Yes, JavaOne is indeed happening, and if you want to participate via presenting a session, you only have until Sunday night (US Pacific time) to submit your proposal.
In James's words:
[In] case you hadn't noticed :-) despite the recent transition, JavaOne is indeed happening. The call for papers went out a while ago, and it's it's about to close, so submit your proposal today!. It promises to be a giant year with JavaOne being just a few blocks from Oracle OpenWorld. That few blocks should provide a gap of sanity (opportunity?) between the Geeks and the BizTypes. San Francisco will be bursting at the seams.
I expect this year's JavaOne to have more of a developer-centric feel than has been the case in recent years. The call for papers page says:
We expect JavaOne 2010 to surpass its well-established reputation as one of the most valuable and informative weeks of technical education, debate, and exchange of the year. This year, the conference curriculum is going back to its roots -- 100% Java technology and the related ecosystems. So share your knowledge and expertise as a JavaOne speaker.
And here's the description of "what attendees want" -- that is, who the target audience is for JavaOne presenters, the audience Oracle is trying to get to attend this year's JavaOne:
Attendees typically have intermediate-to-advanced Java programming skills. Our attendee surveys have indicated most of them want talks that deepen their practical knowledge, including best practices and solutions. The most popular talks are rich in technical detail, and usually include best practices, proven solutions, code samples, and/or demos that show how to apply Java technology to real-world projects. This year, we are particularly looking for interesting end-to-end application and integration use cases.
To me, this says that JavaOne (which will also be the site for Oracle Develop) will indeed be the place where the geeks hang out, while Oracle OpenWorld will draw more of the management and business folk -- as James indicates. Of course, a lot of people will visit both venues, and probably an even greater number will at least venture into the street walkway (which may have a tent?) between the conference venues, where they'll be able to mix with both their associates and counterparts.
A lot of people experiment GlassFish for the first time via an IDE (most likely NetBeans, but maybe also with Eclipse) and feel a bit lost when it comes to use GlassFish without the tool driving it for them. So here are a few (mostly basic) CLI asadmin hints for GlassFish v3...
Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) — browser-based applications that present the kinds of engrossing user interfaces (UIs) and content previously found only in desktop applications — are becoming increasingly popular. In fact, for many developers, the browser is becoming the preferred deployment target for their applications. A lot of this increased popularity is due to the ubiquity of the Internet. But it's also due to improved uniformity in the way different browsers handle RIAs...
On Twitter, there was a tweet from @javatools asking "Want to help testing NetBeans and have your name included in the NetBeans source code?" and pointing us to rkusterer's Time to Join the NetBeans Community Testing Programs! page: "The NetBeans Team is pleased to announce the return of its two community testing programs, NetCAT and NetFIX, for the NetBeans IDE 6.9 release cycle. NetBeans 6.9 feature highlights include in short: * NetBeans Platform OSGi interoperability; * Many enhancements in Editor; * Improved Java FX tooling ..."

I will detail each point in my blog later. * Continue to affiliate JUGs and share our experience with new JUGs; * Elect a president and a vice president (last week of april 2010); * Increase our visibility by both ways internal and external (very important)...
Last time we looked at writing command and shortening the URLs using simple TinyURL API. This time, lets try to take this one step furter and generate URLs that are mobile-users friendly, i.e. URLs that can be easily recognized and processed by various mobile devices. Such are urls in QCode or DataMatrix scan codes. I'm sure almost everybody have seen those somewhere already, be it on printouts or on the actual websites. In difference to the classic bar code QCode or DataMatrix are rectangular...

moorix has questions about JXTA shell -- basic steps: Hi all, as a newbie to JXTA project I've tried to run some peers on localhost using the JXTA shell app. Trying all possible shell commands to join default peer group, publish peer adv etc. I'm not able to find any other peers in peer group.
Our Spotlight this week is the work of our friend Felipe Gaúcho, who suddenly passed away on Friday, March 5. Felipe was a CEJUG founder and leader, a Java evangelist, and a long-time java.net collaborator. The self-description he wrote for java.net: "Felipe Gaúcho works as senior software engineer at Netcetera AG in Switzerland. He is a well known Brazilian JUG leader and open-source evangelist. Felipe works with Java since its early versions and has plans to keep that Java tradition as it is. When he is not coding, he prefers to listen reggae and travel around with his lovely wife Alena and his son Rodrigo."
We just published a new java.net Feature Article, Dibyendu Roy's Rethinking Multi-Threaded Design Principles; in the emerging multicore/multiprocessor world, multi-threaded programming is critical, in my view. We're also featuring Has JDBC Kept up with Enterprise Requirements? by Jesse Davis; in the article, Jesse invites us to look beyond Type 4 architecture to address the latest requirements of the enterprise Java ecosystem. And, Adhir Mehta's Java Tech article, Web Service Simulatino Using Servlets also remains in the Featured Articles section of the java.net home page.
Registered users can submit event listings for the java.net Events Page using our events submission form. All submissions go through an editorial review before being posted to the site.
