1. Java.net front pageDevelopment of new and improved methods for programming multithreaded applications has never been as critical as it is today, due to the emergence of multicore processors. I've been developing multithreaded applications since the early 1990s, when I was implementing mathematical models on multi-processor Sun machines using Sun's threading libraries... Many experienced developers have had the opportunity to work on a variety of operating system platforms, developing applications using multiple languages. In a large corporate environment, the established technology is likely to include representations of all the best technologies of the past several decades -- as well as (unfortunately) representations of some technologies that proved in the end to be more faddish than harbingers of the future... LWUIT has been released as GPL open source: "today Sun is announcing the release and immediate availability of the complete source code of the LWUIT framework under the GPLv2 license with the Classpath Exception. This license choice provides the benefits of open source innovation and collaborative development while offering a risk-free path to adoption by commercial products - a model everybody should feel very comfortable with." »

2. Linux FeaturesMany things will change for the Linux community during and after JavaOne, and this page will be completely revamped to account for that chance. New projects are about to join the community, and new possibilities will be opened. Stay Tunned! The Java.Net Community Corner in the Java One Pavillion will feature a few talks of special interest for Linux developers, ranging from on Sun proprietary JVM and new JCP standards to F/OSS JVMs. Novell, Red Hat and others are proposing a new Eclipse project focused on a better user experience for Eclipse on Linux, with a focus on making Eclipse packaging and updating compatible with Linux package managers like RPM. I hope they collaborate with the JPackage project! Version 4.0 of GCJ introduced a new deployment model that made is much easier for distributors to package traditional Java programs as native applications without requiring any source level changes. For version 4.1 of GCJ, this new binary compatibility (BC) ABI has also been used for parts of the core library. This change means that those parts of the core library can easily be upgraded with newer versions by the end user. »
[+] Kaffe 10th aniversary!"In Feb 6 1996, Tim Wilkinson released the first version of Kaffe as version 0.1, which is the first independent free and open source implementation of Java Virtual Machine" (by Jim Huang). Note that this was about just a year after Sun released the first Java release! It's ready folks. Make sure your library works with it. (by Weiqi Gao) During the end of 2005 I had a customer who could not run a Java Applet on his desktops, despite having the latest update from Sun. And the desktops ran the fastest-growing OS and browser in the market today When a blogger trashed the anti-DRM features of the GPL3 draft, common sense from the community was quick to show how biased the blogger was and how the draft was sound. From the projet home page: "micro-libgcj is a lightweight version of the GCJ project’s runtime library (libgcj), intended to provide a usable subset of Java’s features while remaining small and self-contained. We started this project with the goal producing small, self-contained executables from a mix of Java and C++, targeting four platforms: Win32 (i386), Mac OS X (PPC), and Linux (i386 and amd64). GCC is an ideal tool for this purpose, since it is widely ported, and its Java and C++ compilers produce ABI-compatible object code Life of Linux System and Network Administrators and Developers would be easier if all Java software vendors started to use JPackage guidelines when b uilding their installation packages. Has JFreeChart escaped the Java Trap? Yes!!! At least partially, if the chart image below is anything to go by. It has been created using JamVM, GNU Classpath, Cairo (via the bindings provided by the Java-Gnome project), JFreeChart and a custom class CairoGraphics2D.java - no proprietary software required! This document, created colaboratively by many open source Java developers from meetings initiated by SouJava and edited by Mark Wielaard, presents the current state of Free and Open Source Software (F/OSS) projects that aim to deliver a complete Java stack. It provides an overview about runtimes, compilers, libraries, applications, packaging into Linux distributions and Java SE / EE coverage and certification initiatives. It's a great place to start learning about the effort to have compatible F/OSS Java implementations. »
[+] JamVM 1.4.0From Mark Wielaard: Robert never pushes JamVM very hard. But he really should! His latest JamVM 1.4.0 release adds impressive new features (Soft/Weak/Phantom References, optimized garbage collector, language and reflection type access checks, GNU Classpath 0.19 and CVS support plus improved/added support for PPC-32/64, AMD64 and kfreebsd) and feels really stable. Go Robert! »
[+] Moving to Linux During a recent debate about Java, Linux and OSS I have observed that some old fears are still alive and are still avoiding a collaboration between the OSS community and the Java community. Underneath the traditional flames involved in such discussion, there is an open question to be answered: Why the Java developers doesn't use Linux as development platform ?. 'We recognise that more and more people are using Firefox, so it's something we want to support,' says one high-street bank... I managed to work for a month and a half before the Boss noticed I was using Linux --and that was only because he happened to glance at my screen... Talking with one of the organizers of FSF-India about the role of free software as both technology and philosophy. Marten Mickos, CEO of open source database company MySQL AB, was motivated by the recent controversy over SAP executive Shai Agassi's remarks about open source to write the following perspective piece... We're hearing tales of two scenarios--one pessimistic, one optimistic--for the future of the Net. If the paranoids are right, the Net's toast. If they're not, it will be because we fought to save it, perhaps in a new way we haven't talked about before. Davids, meet your Goliaths... Another day, another lame attempt by Microsoft to show that Windows is better than Linux... Open Source for college credit? Yes, it's true! Daniel interviews Brian Koontz, Computer Science program coordinator and OSS zealot at North Lake College. Brian created a certificate program for Open Source Technology at North Lake College in Texas. Daniel Brookshier interviews Brian about the certificate and the open source impact of open source. Open source software (OSS) developers find and fix software bugs quickly, according to new analyst research released this week... Discovering why some public sector organisations are so enthusiastic about community developed software often means looking beyond a balance sheet... "In this interview, Terpstra shoots down some pernicious misunderstandings about Linux and open source and explains how IT organizations often end up shunning their IT planning duties...

The Generic Algorithms for Java (JGA) project has released version 0.8. They write in, "The major focus of this release is incorporating feedback from users. There are two major changes in this release based on such feedback.

Second, a popular suggestion is to make the functors available via static methods in leiu of calling their individual constructors. There are also updates in the swing package, extensions to the Hacker's worksheet, and additional functionality in JFXG."
