Tiger on the Desktop
A good summary of all the desktop related features in Tiger. Now the next question. How long are you going to have to wait for your clients to upgrade to Tiger (Java 5.0) so you can use it?

Confluence Console
There seems to be a disturbing trend the last few days of GUI's trending toward older technologies. Last week we had the API for terminal windowing. Today a console for Confluence. What about a punch card look and feel for Swing?

JComboBox is actually quite complex...
Last week we had a good piece about a programmer fighting JTree's. Today we have a good look into fighting with a JComboBox.

Vim gets and AWT GUI
Retro GUI's - 2
Normal GUI's - 1

The trend is shifting. Confluence Consoles and Terminal Windowing are now balanced by a GUI for VIM.
