"Implementation of Units of Measurement services. A coordinates module compliant with OGC/ISO specifications for the development and deployment of geographic applications. A rigourous mapping of mathematical structures (e.g. Group, Ring, Field, VectorSpace ) to Java interfaces. A linear algebra module, which includes a first (and I believe unique) parameterized matrix class capable of resolving linear system of equations involving any kind of elements (e.g. Complex, ModuloInteger, RationalFunctions) A functions module for symbolic calculations and analysis. Different types of numbers such as real numbers of arbitrary and guaranteed precision, or the always exact rational numbers. Support for exact or arbitrary precision measurements (also strongly typed). Support for Standard , Relativistic , High-Energy , Quantum and Natural physical models. A monetary module for precision-guaranteed calculations and currencies conversions."

Icefaces is an open source Ajax framework for developing RIA for the web. The applications are structured the same way as JSF applications, but with added Ajax features. In this article there will be a short description of the biggest differences between the IT Mill Toolkit 5.2.0 and Icefaces 1.6.2 based development of RIAs.

XStream is a simple library to serialize objects to XML and back again. Features Ease of use. A high level facade is supplied that simplifies common use cases. No mappings required. Most objects can be serialized without need for specifying mappings. Performance. Speed and low memory footprint are a crucial part of the design, making it suitable for large object graphs or systems with high message throughput. Clean XML. No information is duplicated that can be obtained via reflection. This results in XML that is easier to read for humans and more compact than native Java serialization. Requires no modifications to objects. Serializes internal fields, including private and final. Supports non-public and inner classes. Classes are not required to have default constructor. Full object graph support. Duplicate references encountered in the object-model will be maintained. Supports circular references. Integrates with other XML APIs. By implementing an interface, XStream can serialize directly to/from any tree structure (not just XML). Customizable conversion strategies. Strategies can be registered allowing customization of how particular types are represented as XML. Error messages. When an exception occurs due to malformed XML, detailed diagnostics are provided to help isolate and fix the problem. Alternative output format. The modular design allows other output formats. XStream ships currently with JSON support and morphing.

As Eclipse plug-in and Rich Client Platform developers, we face unique challenges in how we structure and execute our unit tests. In this article, I suggest an approach to unit testing based on Eclipse fragments that can help us overcome these challenges. If you find yourself frustrated with your current plug-in testing options, read on! But before going into detail on a fragment based solution, let's examine the current approaches and the pros and cons associated with each. The first approach is the one most of us start with as we learn the ropes of plug-in development: placing all code in a single plug-in.

Shrinkwrap provides a simple mechanism to assemble archives like JARs, WARs, and EARs with a friendly, fluent API. JavaArchive archive = ShrinkWrap.create(JavaArchive.class,"archive.jar")    .addClasses(MyClass.class,MyOtherClass.class)    .addResource("mystuff.properties"); From there you may deploy directly into any supported integration container like JBoss EmbeddedAS, GlassFish v3 Embedded, Jetty, or OpenEJB.  Or perhaps you'd like to export the archive to a file or exploded directory structure.  Maybe you'd prefer to serialize it over the network to a remote host.  The possibilities are limitless. To boot, ShrinkWrap is the supported deployment mechanism of the Arquillian project, and together we render the testing of true enterprise components amiable as a puppy.  Where Java EE brought a POJO programming model to application development, we've brought it to testing.  You handle your business logic; we'll do the rest. To foster community participation, the majority of documentation and examples are available through our Wiki. Releases are available either via our Downloads section, or through the JBoss Maven Repository, which we recommend is configured in ${userHomeDir}/.m2/settings.xml:

"JMockit allows developers to write unit/integration tests without the testability issues typically found with other mocking APIs. Tests can easily be written that will mock final classes, static methods, constructors, and so on. There are no limitations. The JMockit mocking API is simple, consistent, and minimal. There are no special methods or annotations that need to be used in test code, apart from those that really make sense. In general, the use of JMockit APIs for mocking leads to test code that is better structured and more readable. "

AspectJ is an aspect-oriented extension created at PARC for the Java programming language. It is available in Eclipse Foundation open-source projects, both stand-alone and integrated into Eclipse. AspectJ has become the widely used de-facto standard for AOP by emphasizing simplicity and usability for end users. It uses Java-like syntax and has included IDE integrations for displaying crosscutting structure since its initial public release in 2001. In this article we will describe how we can use AspectJ to do the logging job for all methods parameters and methods return values in a Java application

Normally, array is a collection of similar type of elements that have contigious memory location. In java, array is an object the contains elements of similar data type. It is a data structure where we store similar elements. We can store only fixed elements in an array.

The release 3.0 of Spring Framework added the Spring Module OXM which supports the marshalling and unmarshalling of Java objects and XML documents.In this post, we will be using Spring OXM to take a Java object, convert it to a XML-format and save it in the hard-disk as an XML file containing information of that Java object. We will also cover how to retrieve back the serialized state of that XML file and reconstruct it back to it's original state as a Java object.

The Apache Software Foundation has resigned its seat on the Java SE/EE Executive Committee. Apache has served on the EC for the past 10 years, winning the JCP "Member of the Year" award 4 times, and recently was ratified for another term with support from 95% of the voting community. Further, the project communities of the ASF, home to Apache Tomcat, Ant, Xerces, Geronimo, Velocity and nearly a 100 mainstay java components have implemented countless JSRs and serve on and contribute to many of the JCPs technical expert groups. We'd like to provide some explanation to the community as to why we're taking this significant step.
