Make me less lazy I've been good about putting all my posts into the "All", "Fun" and "Java" categories, but I haven't bothered to figure out how to represent categories through the Radio templates. If you want to be able to read or subscribe to a particular feed, let me know via the comments and I'll set it up; otherwise I'll just keep on keeping on. 4:38:58 PM    comment []

Jelly needs to get back on track... I've been so tied up with work and annoying personal stuff (nothing serious, just other people's screw-ups) that I've neglected Jelly. :( We need to finish up some RCs and get our releases out the door! 12:38:16 PM    comment []

Eclipse 2.1 tomorrow! I have been looking forward to 2.1 for some time now. Some of my coworkers have been using some of the beta versions, and there are some great new refactoring features. Also, 2.1 will notify you of unused imports, which is definitely a welcome improvement. Rod turned me onto Eclipse this year. I've tried other Java-aware IDEs, and this is the first I've used that strikes a good balance between speed, feature-richness, and customizibility. I've been slowly converting my coworkers, mainly by providing GUI extensions that automatically convert our ant script properties to an Eclipse project (heavily cribbed from the "eclipse" task in Maven, but integrated directly into the GUI). Soon they will all join the cult. :) 12:28:39 PM    comment []
