Hi, I have a bunch of shapes that I'm rendering with different graphics objects. I'd like it so when the shapes overlap, they use some alpha blending to combine the colors. However, I only want them to blend with the other shapes, not with anything else rendered. Is this possible? thanks, Jeff ...

Howto multithreaded jython scripts running from java?

I'm constructing a framework in Java that will listen for events and then process them in Jython. Different event types will be sent to different scripts.

Finding biggest area of adjacent numbers in a matrix

This is NOT a homework. I'm a beginner in programming, and also this is my first post here - please bear with me. I was not able to find similar questions posted here. In a beginner's book, I found the following issue: # Find the biggest area of adjacent numbers in this matrix: 1 3 2 2 2 4 3 3 3 2 4 4 4 3 1 2 3 3 #--> 13 times '3' 4...

WebSphere and PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer

Hi, I'm a big user of properties (with PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer) for making my application as "dynamic" as possible. Almost all the constants are defined as such. Anyway, I'm currently defining a default.properties which comes shipped with the default WAR. In other environments (Acceptance/Production) I need to overwrite of the co...

Did anybody really ever read a .doc file with POI and created an iText Document with it ?

Hi all, I've seen people speaking about that on the web, I've been advised to do that, but it looks like the iText rendering engine is far from matching MS word (openoffice, TeX). And interpreting a .doc is far from trivial anyway (J.Spolsky explained why) so I'm a little bit of skeptical. I'd really like to do that for a project, but ...

I have a handful of helper methods that convert enum values into a list of strings suitable for display by an HTML <select> element. I was wondering if it's possible to refactor these into a single polymorphic method. This is an example of one of my existing methods: /** * Gets the list of available colours. * * @return the list o...

Am I right to choose NetBeans over Eclipse?

However, the company I'm working in and many many other people I know are using Eclipse. So... Am I making the right decision (choosing NetBeans)? Which one of these two do you pr...

Eclipse extension for opening TIFF (type 4) images?

I need to display a TIFF (type 4) image in Eclipse from a Java stream. TIFFv4 is not supported, so I need an image library. Sun's JAI-ImageIO has native code -- I can't wrap it easily into a plugin. I can't just import jai-imageio.jar (et al) from the lib\ext directory because Eclipse has its own ideas about classpaths. Any suggestion...

Java 6 Source backward-compatibility and SQL

My understanding is that in order to maintain source-compatibility, Java never introduces new methods to public interfaces, as that breaks existing clients implementing the interfaces. Java Release notes states In general, the policy is as follows, except for any incompatibilities listed further below: Maintenance releas...

Equivalent of Java's "ByteBuffer.putType()" in C#

Hello :) I am trying to format a byte array in C#, by porting a code from Java. In Java, the methods "buf.putInt(value);", buf.putShort, buf.putDouble, (and so forth) are used. However I don't know how to port this to C#. I have tried the MemoryStream class, but there is no method to put a specific type at the end of the byte array. Qu...

Nice general way to sort nulls to the bottom, regardless?

I'm writing some custom Comparators, and I'd like them to push null items to the bottom of the list, regardless of whether I'm sorting ascending or descending. What's a good strategy or pattern for approaching this? Offhand: simply write separate ascending and descending comparators, sharing code where possible; delegate null handli...
