But I have two problems, being new at Pune I [...]
Not many developers get the opportunity to be part of a project through the entire SDLC. For many people who are working on maintenance project, where the product is already there, the developer is usually involved only in bug-fixing or minor enhancements. Having been involved in a few, I have always wondered on the question, [...]
Generics is the most profound of changes envisaged in Tiger. Greg Travis has this nice preview on it.
JRoller provides the RSS feed for blogs hosted here. From the aggregators I have recently noticed that the comments tag in the XML generated does not point to the right URL for example for this post of mine the comments tag is being displayed as follows:

There has been a lot of buzz around Antenna, an Ant add-on for J2ME applications. Why! Can’t I use Ant for this? You very well can, but Antenna elevates many Ant tasks that are peculiar to J2ME, for instance: updating the JAD for the correct JAR size, a task that doesn’t matter as long as [...]
One of the J2ME applications I had been involved in emerged with a big problem when tested for boundary conditions. When the client was sending less than 2048 bytes, the server was able to handle it correctly. The content-length header was being set in the client correctly and was available at the server.
