Software development and more
Just today I got this response to my NetBeans 7.3 contribution. Contribute to next version too!
Thanks for your contribution to the NetBeans 7.3
Dear NetBeans User,
In the past you have taken the time to report issues that you encountered while using NetBeans software. A new version (NetBeans 7.3) has just been released,and we’d like to inform you that the following issue(s) you reported have been addressed in the new release: Continue reading “NetBeans 7.3 Contribution”
In my recent article, I wondered why GlassFish 4 is internally still 3, even though truly recognized by NetBeans EE7.
Currently the GlassFish team prepares a rename [1]. And I hope, it will be bundled to NetBeans, just after the 7.3 release. NetBeans 7.3 will be available dureing the next few days.

NetBeans 7.3 is almost ready. I guess, it takes just a few day until it is available. Even though this version offers new great features [1], one thing is still missing: Support for Java EE7. You may wait for an update – or try the development version. This article describes, how to setup NetBeans with GlassFish 4 for use as early Java EE7 environment.

At Java User Group Cologne, I hold a JSF Session (introduction into JSF 2.0 and a short forecast to JSF 2.2) . For the live parts, I used NetBeans to demonstrate code and applications. You’ll find some of this code in my current JSF articles [1].
For the talk, I prepared some slides (German) at abstract level. You’ll get them here [2].
Feel free to use them for private purpose. For commercial purpose, please contact me.

During the current NetCAT game, I pointed out that division of projects into categories is not logical. While Ant based Java project resides under Java > Java Application (category > concrete project type), the Maven based one can be found under Maven > Java Application (Maven > concrete project type). I suggested to join both wizards and let user choose the build system in a new wizard step.
Jiřà Kovalský (NetBeans quality manager) requested me to file an issue. I just did it. Issue #224999 [1]
If you want to second this, please feel free to vote for it.

In the occasion of his new book “Java EE 6 pocket Guide”, I hold a short interview with the author, Arun Gupta. My book-review is going to be publiched in Java Magazin 05.2013.
Here the original version of the interview is:
Hi Arun, you just published “Java EE 6 Pocket Guide”. Java EE 6 became alive three years ago and many books have been published since. What was your intention to write such a book right now? Continue reading “Interview with Arun Gupta (English original)”
Due to a vunerability of Java 7 it is highly recommended to update to Java 7u11.
If you’re going to start NetBeans after installing this JDK and installing the previous versions, NetBeans might alert that it doesn’t find this JDK. You may avoid problems by editing netbeans.conf in the NetBeans/etc folder.
Simply replace the JDK home (make sure to have rights to write to this file)
netbeans_jdkhome="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_11"
Arun Gupta published his book “Java EE 6 Pocket Guide”. I asked him some questions about this book and his intentions. The full interview is published by JAXenter [1]. Maybe they will publish the original English version on their English site too.

JSF 2.2 is on it’s way. In this lesson I want to introduce one of the new features, HTML5 friendly markup (using Pass Through Elements). Continue reading “Tutorial web development (with JSF) XI: Brave New World”
In part VII of this tutorial you’ll find some requirements of the book application. The application is live now, and you can find it here [1]. The information about the books and the reviews is stored in a database. JavaServer Faces is well suited for database driven server applications. Thus, developing web applications with JSF normally includes developing with database techniques. In the context of Java EE 6, this usually would be Java Persistence API (JPA). And often it touches other techniques like Context and Dependency Injection (CDI), Bean Validation and other stuff. The book application will use a couple of this too.
