In addition, I'm wondering whether developers actually bother to read the package level documentation when they use unfamiliar APIs, and wh...
A lead developer on my project has taken to referring to the project's toString() implementations as "pure cruft" and is looking to remove them from the code base. I've said that doing so would mean that any clients wishing to display the objects would have to write their own code to convert the object to string, but that was answered w...

Does anyone know what might be going on here? Cause0: java.nio.channels.ClosedByInterruptException Cause0-StackTrace: at java.nio.channels.spi.AbstractInte...
I have a need to generate complicated text files from a Java desktop application. I've decided the code would be considerably easier to implement if I could copy a template file and tailor it to whatever needs to be constructed. I will only be distributing a jar to the customers.

I've been creating a custom TabFolder extension that adds a key listener to allow quick tab switching using an ALT + # hotkey. By adding the KeyAdapter to my TabFolder, the event handler works properly only when you have a tab header selected (in which case the ALT + ARROW_LEFT/ARROW_RIGHT also work.). I need this hot key to be active w...

Is there any way to use absolute paths in the FTP connection string? I'd like to p...

My questions is: Is there a good solution to use regular expression in GWT? I'm not satisfied with the use of String.split(regex) for example. GWT translates the Code to JS and then uses the regex as a JS regex. But I cannot use something like the Java Matcher or Java Pattern. But I would need these for group matching. Is there any pos...
