That is syntactic sugar too, right? How do you feel...]]> Fri, 17 Sep 2004 03:48:22 -0400 Fri, 17 Sep 2004 03:48:22 -0400 Fri, 17 Sep 2004 03:48:22 -0400 Sep 17, 2004 Jens Wyke 0 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=28750 There's also Eclipse. That's about as open as Netbeans and has a huge developer following.Yes. They've thrown money to the open-source community to develop for them something to replace their VisualAge for Java. Then they've used...]]> Fri, 17 Sep 2004 03:34:25 -0400 Fri, 17 Sep 2004 03:34:25 -0400 Fri, 17 Sep 2004 03:34:25 -0400 Sep 17, 2004 Jean-Pol Landrain 0 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=28750 Yes. Of course they contribute and they are a supporter of Java (against Microsoft), but they're still very shy in the open source market. Java is a major advantage for Sun when selling their hardware. They've created it and now IBM wants to...]]> Fri, 17 Sep 2004 01:36:50 -0400 Fri, 17 Sep 2004 01:36:50 -0400 Fri, 17 Sep 2004 01:36:50 -0400 Sep 17, 2004 Jim Hazen 1 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=28750 I actually think that static imports begin to lend Java towards things like mixin functionality that you see in languages like Ruby, but it still has a long way to go.How sad that Java lacks mixins. Surely mixins can achieved...]]> Thu, 16 Sep 2004 11:05:34 -0400 Thu, 16 Sep 2004 11:05:34 -0400 Thu, 16 Sep 2004 11:05:34 -0400 Sep 16, 2004 Brian Miller 0 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=28750
_can_ ibm open source their jdk/jre? and call it a jdk/jre? my understanding is that the test suites (tdk?) one must pass to be called a "jdk/jre" vendor...]]> Thu, 16 Sep 2004 07:47:22 -0400 Thu, 16 Sep 2004 07:47:22 -0400 Thu, 16 Sep 2004 07:47:22 -0400 Sep 16, 2004 mark lybarger 0 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=28750 I agree. Java will become much less readable and much more prone to bugs after version 5.0 is released. For the syntax of the language, they should have downgraded the version identifier from 1.5 to 0.95 : static imports are...]]> Thu, 16 Sep 2004 07:32:16 -0400 Thu, 16 Sep 2004 07:32:16 -0400 Thu, 16 Sep 2004 07:32:16 -0400 Sep 16, 2004 Calum Shaw-Mackay 1 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=28750 Too much syntax sugar can get you semantic diabetes... :)I agree.
