==== Can [[Swing]] be called [[MVC]] framework? ====
+
==== [[Apache]] Projects can Distribute [[GPLwithClassPathException]] components! ====
-
What do you know about [[MVC]]? Is [[Swing]] following the [[MVC]] paradigm or not? Let me take you through short, incomplete and mostly wrong history of [[MVC]] and decide yourself!
+
Thanks to our [[DirectAction]] - e.g. organizing a [[DirectAction|vote without a common consent]] - it has been decided that as of 2021 Apache projects can distribute [[GPLwithClassPathException]] components in their complementary binaries!

{{:Blogs:JaroslavTulach:Daily Life:10Years}}

Including [[GradleWrapper]].properties in each [[Gradle]] project follows the [[PropertyFiles|best practices]]: If you want to be sure your [[Gradle]] projects build in a year or two then make sure to always include the [[GradleWrapper]] and exactly specify the [[Gradle]] version!

-
Alex Blewitt [[Talk:Equinox|commented]] on my recent [[Equinox|Equinox experience]] saying that: ''[[Equinox]] is an [[OSGi]] framework, as it passes the [[OSGi]] TCK, without which it couldn't be called an [[OSGi]] framework''. A little quiz now: Can or cannot the [[Equinox]] be called an [[OSGi]] framework? Cast your [[Talk:Equinox|vote]]!

My recent rant about the missing slickness of Scala's core libraries finally provoked a [[Scala#Landei_said_...|reaction]]. Thanks Landei for speaking up. I know there no black&white in the real world, but your explanation of [[Scala]]'s "flexibility" could be extrapolated to a false (at least in my opinion) feeling that [[Scala]] is not yet ready for real production use.

==== API Podcast #5: Can you win? ====

Let me introduces [[MultiGitRepository]] - aka [[Git]] on steroids to you. I have seen a lot of confusion when it comes to working with multiple repositories and keeping them in orchestration, but I believe it is not that complex. Everything we learned about distributed version controls applies. However this time it has to be applied on a completely new level!

Here is another [[APIFest08:Report|podcast]] recorded to explain importance of playing games while learning to design [[API]]s. Ask yourself today: Can you win an [[APIFest08:Report|API Fest]] with a change like [[APIFest08:Report|this]]?

==== The [[IDE]] for [[DevOps]]! ====
-
Few years ago our meta modeling gurus submitted a proposal for JavaOne BOF named [[Modular_Java_SE#XML_SAX_and_DOM_2|XML SAX and DOM 2]]. They wanted to describe [[NetBeans]] [[MOF]] solution and show how good it is compared to standard [[XML]] tools. I always admired the name of the talk (as the JavaOne was dedicated to show the synergy between [[XML]] and [[Java]] it obviously was rejected) and I am glad I have a chance to use the title today too: I just managed to [[Modular_Java_SE#XML_SAX_and_DOM_2|remove XML from Java]].
+
Admins! [[DevOps]]! In a recent [[StackOverFlow]] developer survey the NetBeans IDE has been rated at 10.9% for Mobile Developers and 8.4% for System Admins/[[DevOps]]. It is weird, but it supports the feeling I had for a long time: NetBeans is the IDE for [[DevOps]]!

So I needed to run an [[Mercurial_vs._Subversion|experiment]]. They are not same at all! One is [[Mercurial_vs._Subversion|correct]], the second is [[Mercurial_vs._Subversion|simple to use]].

Dear readers of my book and my blog, I've mentioned in [[The Future|Epilogue]] of [[TheAPIBook]] that I good tools can help anyone do better job. I backed my reasoning by a skiing parallel.

Model classes can have per-instance private data. Model classes can generate builder-like construction methods if builder prefix is specified. Property.mutable() can be false to define a non-mutable (almost constant) property. That in case of Knockout bindings means: the property is represented by a plain value rather than an observable in the JavaScript object. The JavaFX presenter can be executed in headless mode - just specify -Dfxpresenter.headless=true when launching its virtual machine and no window will be shown. This is particularly useful for testing. OSGi headers are now enterprise OSGi ready. Switched to minified version 3.4.0 of knockout.js. Better support for recursive @Model definitions. New module org.netbeans.html:xhr4j provides implementation of Transfer with technology identifier xhr4j - this module can be used to workaround limitations of CORS by handling the OnReceive connections in Java.

==== NetBeans 6.5 Performance Press Release ====
+
==== [[MineSweeper]] 3.0 for Your [[iOS]] Device. The Christmas Thriller Edition! ====
-
How can one announce to the world that something important happened? Via [http://wiki.netbeans.org/Fitness65PressRelease Press Release], of course! However, one question stays: who can write good press release? Engineers are generally seen as incapable of doing so, however as argued in Chapter 14, [[Paradoxes of API Design]], there is a way to help them: Force them to write [http://wiki.netbeans.org/Fitness65PressRelease documentation or press release] before they start to code!
+
{{:AppStoreUpdate}}
-
This is the [http://wiki.netbeans.org/Fitness65PressRelease Press Release] of the [NetBeans] performance team written six months ago. Now, when the release of [NetBeans] IDE 6.5 is near, it is time to publish it. Feel free to read what we [http://wiki.netbeans.org/Fitness65PressRelease?version=4 planed] and what we [http://wiki.netbeans.org/Fitness65PressRelease?version=15 delivered]!

I would like to [[Blogs#Petr_.C5.A0m.C3.ADd.27s_Thanks|thank you]] very much for organizing the [[APIFest08|competition]].
+
==== Can [[Java]] Speed [[Ruby]] up? Yes, ten times! ====
-
Unlike all other programming competitions which are focused on creating algorithms this one is unique, because it focuses on another type of problems which more reflects real challenges that programmers deals with.
+
[[RubySpeed|Speed of Ruby]] has never been great. There were many attempts to improve it, but none delivered on its promise. All failed, [[Truffle|but one]]! J[[Ruby]] implementation running on top of [[JVM]] spiced with a bit of [[Truffle]] and [[Graal]] is in fact ten times faster than standard [[Ruby]] version.
-
I can personally say that I learned many lessons about API design and I think this is the case of everyone who joined this event.
+
Watch [[RubySpeed|this video]] to see how can [[Java]] and [[JVM|its virtual machine]] help those other poor and slow [[language]]s!
-
That's why I can suggest everybody to join this event next time. It was well prepared and the idea of the competition is really great.

==== [[APIFest08]] Task 4 Necessary to Choose the Best API Designer ====
+
==== [[Html4Java|HTML/Java]] version 1.2.1 has been Released! ====
-
{{:APIFest08:Task4}}
+
Cross platform UI library called [[Html4Java|HTML/Java API]] (which is developed by the [[NetBeans]] project) is proud to announce that version 1.2 has just been released on Maven central. See [http://bits.netbeans.org/html+java/1.2/ javadoc] to find out [http://bits.netbeans.org/html+java/1.2/overview-summary.html#overview_description what is new] in this version!
-
--[[User:JaroslavTulach|JaroslavTulach]] 22:17, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
+
The project is also glad that binaries of the new [[Html4Java|HTML/Java]] version 1.2 are now included in forthcoming [[NetBeans]] 8.1 release making it easy to develop [[netbeans:HtmlUIForTemplates|wizards]] as well as components and dialogs in a cross-platform manner (e.g. able to run in [[NetBeans]] platform applications, IDE, [[HTML|Eclipse]] RCP, plugin-less [[Bck2Brwsr|browser]] and thanks to adoption by [[DukeScript]] project also on [[iOS]] and [[Android]]).
-
==== Define "Friday Morning" ====
+
[[Html4Java|HTML/Java API]] is the heart of [[Java]] that is written once, and displayed everywhere!
-
When I was defining the quest of [[APIFest08:Task3]] I needed to set a deadline. However as the [[APIFest08]] is not competition for millions of bucks, just for [[TheAPIBook]], I did not feel I need to be exact enough and I defined the deadline as ''Fri, Oct 10, 2008, morning of CET''. This is the reaction that I got from one of the participants:
+
--[[User:JaroslavTulach|JaroslavTulach - HTML/Java inventor]] 06:16, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

I really like the precision you use in specifying the deadlines!
+
==== Design with [[Truffle]]. Get [[Debugger]] for Free! ====
-
I will choose to interpret "Fri, Oct 10, 2008, morning of CET" as
+
-
the time when the first ray of the rising sun can be seen from
+
-
the train I'll be taking to commute to Prague unless the window
+
-
is too dirty, is that o.k.? :-)
+
-
Cute and OK. Of course only under the assumption that you do your best to clean or at least open your window in case it is too dirty and that you are not referring to a window of an underground train.
+
[[Truffle]] - a modern way to write [[AST]] interpreters - gives you not only '''speed''', but also debugger for free:

[[Image:TruffleDebugger.png]]
-
==== [[APIFest08]] [[APIFest08:Task3|task3]] is here ====
+
The picture shows [[NetBeans]] debugger stopped in middle of '''simple language''' (an artificial language used for demo purposes) method. [[NetBeans]] knows nothing about '''simple language''' (that is why syntax coloring is missing), but as [[NetBeans]] understands the [[Truffle]] [[AST]], it can still provide enough valuable information in the debugger.

Please note that the name of the method is properly recognized and shown on top of the stack. Variables '''a''' and '''b''' and their values are properly shown as well.

Never forget to add GradleWrapper!

Including GradleWrapper.properties in each Gradle project follows the best practices: If you want to be sure your Gradle projects build in a year or two then make sure to always include the GradleWrapper and exactly specify the Gradle version!

Midlife Crisis of an API Designer

I have to admit I am currently at a midlife crisis. I dedicated my last twenty years to promotion of a proper API design. I wrote TheAPIBook, I tried to propagate the principles of good APIDesign and modularity wherever I could. However I am tired...

Because it is always the same. Why do I have ask: where is your Usecase? What this method is good for? What do you actually want to achieve with this method/class/type? Have you considered the difference between APIvsSPI aspects of your design? Do you have a unit test? Is your proposed change BackwardCompatible? Do you have an evolution story for your design? Is your solution optimized for your comfort or comfort of users of your API? And so on and so on... People should read TheAPIBook before attempting to design an API, but they don't and they make the same mistakes again and again.

I got so disgust that I feel sick, physically sick, when I have to think about API design. Last weekend Toni asked me to review an API he is creating and showed me what he has. I starred at him, then at the code and at him, etc. for three minutes before I could say a word. Then I had to apologize and describe my current MidlifeCrisis.

When I look at an API these days, all I see is the wasted potential the API could have, but it doesn't and never will, because the amount of investment I would have to do to educate the API stakeholder is so huge, that I just don't want to make it.

Anyway, if you have an API that you'd like me to improve, let me know. If I see real interest in proper API design my disgust and MidlifeCrisis may go away...

Run JUnit in Your (Java Plugin-less) Browser!

Bck2Brwsr 0.19 comes with many little improvements and one new feature: it can execute JUnit in the browser!

  • Better support for Annotation - so good that bck2brwsr can now execute JUnit tests
  • Support for all classes from java.util.concurrent package, so JUnit runs without problems
  • Switching to version 2.1.0 for RetroLambda
  • More robust generated JavaScript file - doesn't override already defined classes
  • Uses version 1.3 of Html4Java API.
  • Record name of an OSGi bundle to be used when Maven coordinates are missing like in JUnit case
  • Don't convert Date objects to current time millis
  • Use boolean.valueOf() to simplify mixing of boxed and unboxed booleans
  • Perform more conversions before returning Java value to JavaScript from a Java callback
  • Launcher.createBrowser can specify its own page
  • Make sure class cast exception contains the same message as produced by JDK
  • Convert undefined value read from arrays into null
  • Convert content of array properly before entering JavaScript
  • Turning the bck2brwsr VM into an OSGi bundle
  • Introducing vmtest.precompiled=<regexp> property to verify that bck2brwsr generated resources are really used
  • Don't include VM in VMTest initialization, let it be loaded on demand
  • System.exit terminates associated launcher
  • eval(JavaScriptResource) as string to prevent double obfuscation
  • Don't report warnings when generating minified version of bck2brwsr libraries

Get the bits from the Maven central repository!

HTML/Java API 1.3 is Released!

I'd like to announce that the new version of HTML/Java API - e.g. 1.3 is ready for usage. The javadoc is at http://bits.netbeans.org/html+java/1.3/ - and the bits has been uploaded to Maven central.

HTML/Java 1.3 comes with many improvements that will make your life easier and enlarge the options you have when mixing Java and HTML. Let me quote the Javadoc:

Model classes can have per-instance private data. Model classes can generate builder-like construction methods if builder prefix is specified. Property.mutable() can be false to define a non-mutable (almost constant) property. That in case of Knockout bindings means: the property is represented by a plain value rather than an observable in the JavaScript object. The JavaFX presenter can be executed in headless mode - just specify -Dfxpresenter.headless=true when launching its virtual machine and no window will be shown. This is particularly useful for testing. OSGi headers are now enterprise OSGi ready. Switched to minified version 3.4.0 of knockout.js. Better support for recursive @Model definitions. New module org.netbeans.html:xhr4j provides implementation of Transfer with technology identifier xhr4j - this module can be used to workaround limitations of CORS by handling the OnReceive connections in Java.

API Design under Attack!

Today my colleagues from NetBeans noticed that my website - wiki.apidesign.org is under attack. Yes, since Jan 16, 2015 there were more than 5000 randomly modified pages. Maybe my talk in Grenoble was so popular that it attracted that much attention!?

Anyway I had to revert back to older copy of the database and re-apply my edits manually. Not everything looks the same as it did before, but hopefully no texts are lost.

In any case, I disabled ability to edit the pages. If you want to talk to me, use twitter and reference my handle: @JaroslavTulach

Snowcamp in Grenoble gave Bck2Brwsr 10x Speed Up!

Bck2Brwsr version 0.17 is faster. Ten years ago nobody would imagine dynamic languages could get as good performance as they have now. The feeling that JavaScript just can't be fast is presumably present in many of our souls. The truth is, it can be relatively fast - not as fast as Java as my experiment with Sieve of Eratosthenes shows, but pretty damn fast. Certainly not an excuse to be ten times slower than HotSpot (which was the previous state of Bck2Brwsr).

The daily work on Truffle compiler team and the time I got when traveling from Snowcamp at Grenoble gave me a chance to speed Bck2Brwsr up. The sieve being a nice - e.g. small and focused - benchmark. Originally the algorithm couldn't be finished in a reasonable time when running on old version of Bck2Brwsr, but knowing what optimizing compilers seek for, it was relatively easy to speed it up ten times.

With great pleasure I announce that Bck2Brwsr, the most complete Java VM in browser (that can run Javac as shown by Dew project) has been sped up many times being at most three times slower than HotSpot. Given the primary goal of Bck2Brwsr is modularity and not speed, I consider it a good sped up even knowing there is a room to make it even faster.

Enjoy the Bck2Brwsr 0.17's speed!

MineSweeper 3.0 for Your iOS Device. The Christmas Thriller Edition!

In September 2015 I decided to update the MineSweeper on AppStore to version 3.0. With a great pleasure I can announce that now, on December 18, 2015 the version is alive! Why it took so long?

Well, Apple's itunesconnect website is unusable - it isn't enough to upload new version of your application and press button Request Review. The user interface is completely messed up and hidden to make the process as obscure as possible. As a result MineSweeper was laying on the AppStore for six weeks before I found the right address (also pretty hidden) to complain at and was explained what is wrong.

Then, of course, the usual reject. This time it was due to Using images that resemble(!) Apple logo - yes, the MineSweeper is using Safari and iOS icon (check the on-line version). But these icons were present in the previous AppStore version as well. And version 2.3 was approved! Clearly the whole review process suffers from the human factor of the reviewer. What some reviewers find appropriate isn't appropriate for others.

How can I know this is a human factor? Because the new version of the MineSweeper of iOS comes with three translations - English, Czech and German (thanks to Toni) - and I am sure the reviewers checked just the English one. If the check was automatic - e.g. some scan through the binary - my submission might have been rejected again. Thankfully it wasn't. It is great we made it before Christmas, as next week the whole AppStore team is going for a vacation...

Here are the changes against standard MineSweeper source code to make the application releasable on the AppStore this time: https://github.com/jtulach/minesweeper/compare/9fc7970496a...0d6984c73

Enjoy version 3.0 of Fair MineSweeper on AppStore. Visit https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fair-minesweeper/id903688146 to play fair!

Can Java Speed Ruby up? Yes, ten times!

Speed of Ruby has never been great. There were many attempts to improve it, but none delivered on its promise. All failed, but one! JRuby implementation running on top of JVM spiced with a bit of Truffle and Graal is in fact ten times faster than standard Ruby version.

Design with Truffle. Get Debugger for Free!

Truffle - a modern way to write AST interpreters - gives you not only speed, but also debugger for free:

Image:TruffleDebugger.png

The picture shows NetBeans debugger stopped in middle of simple language (an artificial language used for demo purposes) method. NetBeans knows nothing about simple language (that is why syntax coloring is missing), but as NetBeans understands the Truffle AST, it can still provide enough valuable information in the debugger.

Please note that the name of the method is properly recognized and shown on top of the stack. Variables a and b and their values are properly shown as well.

Designing your own language? Do you want to spend time writing a debugger? If not, use Truffle and you'll get your debugger for free!

Don't you know a developer working on own JVM who will be at JavaOne2014? If so, please tell him to contact me and stop by! I plan to make the BOF a lively chat (how did you implemented lambdas?, how did you implemented defender methods?), but in case we don't have a topic to talk about, I am ready to explain why value classes should not be in JVM and why InvokeDynamic is a completely stupid idea. Anyone from JDK team to defend these proposals?

Bck2Brwsr Revision 0.9 is Released!

Version 0.9 eliminates useless stack assignments. Instead of doing

var stI0 = lcI0;
var stI1 = lcI1;
var stI0 = stI0 + stI1;
return stI0;

the now generated code is

return lcI0 + lcI1;

which is shorter and more human readable. However I doubt the V8 virtual machine sees any benefits - I think the final native code remains the same. But at least the debugging of the generated JavaScript code is now easier - there is less Step Over invocations and it mimics more closely the original Java source.


Optimized the ahead-of-time compilation, so now the http://xelfi.cz/minesweeper/bck2brwsr/ demo starts up instantly. I had to do it, because it was so embarrassing to see TeaVM to boot the same application so quickly: The initial delay is gone, and moreover it downloads necessary libraries in parallel and on background. Now we are ready for next step: share the libraries between different applications.

Can ObfuscatePerLibrary - e.g. each JAR gets compiled ahead-of-time into its own JavaScript file, which can be shared between many applications.

I've managed to prototype a way to share UI between two rich client platforms. These days it is popular to use HTML, so I did it. However in addition to that I managed to remove all need for JavaScript. Design in HTML and code your application logic in Knockout4Java.

See how!

JavaFX for iOS via NetBeans

I am pleased to announce there is now a way to develop applications for iOS using your favorite language (I mean Java) and your favorite development IDE (I mean NetBeans).

With the help of Prague's JavaFX iOS team we now have a NetBeans plugin that helps anyone develop JavaFX based Java apps for iOS. Many thanks should also go to RoboVM guys for creating such easy to use Maven plugin.

Enjoy JavaFX on iOS!

The Smallest Linux JDK

The profiles support is coming for JDK8. Not only it is coming, it works! In case you are searching for a small Java, give profiles a try. They are easy to start with.

DEW - Java Meets Web with Your Help!

I'm proud to announce DEW - the development environment for web (of course in Java). I am tired of observing JavaScript being on the rise while pretending it is more than just a script language. The real language is Java and it does quite well with HTML. Check DEW here: http://dew.apidesign.org/dew/ and you will not regret!

The more you fiddle with DEW and the more you alter (and save) the samples, the more we will help Java get Bck2Brwsr!

Maven and Bck2Brwsr 0.8

I've just updated instructions to use bck2brwsr 0.8 from command line. Me and Jonathan Fuerth also verified that the Bck2Brwsr Maven archetype can now be used in Eclipse.

Nothing can stop us from bringing Java Bck2Brwsr!

Use the Debugger, Stupid!

Debugger is a very useful tool. I greatly recommend it to everyone who asks stupid questions on mailing lists and reports vague bugs into bug tracking systems. If your application does not work: use the debugger! Read here to learn how.

Bck2Brwsr 0.6 is Released!

Now you can write your own real applications for browser in Java:

  • Full featured demo Twttr demo
  • Bck2Brwsr provides better binding of complex classes (defined by a special @Model) annotation
  • The @Model classes can be obtained from a server via JSON and JSONP. Use @OnReceive annotation
  • Browser testing harness has nicer output with UL and expandable LI
