JGoodies Binding vs. JSR 295

Hello, What is the practical difference between JGoodies Binding and JSR 295, Beans Binding? They both seem to be intended for the same purpose and get their job done (with slightly different approaches).

What do you do when a library you use is no longer maintained?

One thing I've always found frustrating is when a library I use is no longer maintained. Even looking at update history and community beforehand, I've run into the situation where I check back later to find that the version I'm using is the last version. Generally this goes unnoticed until a few months have passed, or some bug/limitati...

How to properly organize a package/module dependency tree ?

C++ for the C# Programmer

I have a good understanding of OO from java and C# and I'm lucky in my engineering courses to have been exposed to the evils of both assembler and C (pointers are my playground :D ). However, I've tried looking into C++ and the thing that gets me is the library code. There are so many nice examples of how to perform the bread and but...
