The Rich Engineering Heritage Behind Dependency Injection

Andrew McVeigh takes us on a tour of the rich heritage behind dependency injection, what it represents, and tells us why its here to stay.

Java, the OLPC, and community responsibility

The "One Laptop Per Child" project has a great device ready to ship, but there's no Java on there. Let's think about working together to put Java on OLPC!

Eclipse 3.3M4 released

The new and noteworthy for 3.3M4 lists a bunch of new features; the SWT ones have already been seen elsewhere, but this includes:

  • Refactoring without save
  • Grouping of Jars
  • Quick outline for plugin manifests
  • Bundle JRE with product


Of course, the stuff added in 3.3M3 , 3.3M2 and 3.3M1 are also available.

Click to start downloading 3.3M4 for windows , mac os x or linux (gtk) . Note that unlike the Eclipse download links, these take you straight to the file so you can just do 'Save As' on the link itself.

Given that it uses HTTP redirection to a mirror site, some of the mirror sites may not have caught up yet; so if you get a 404, click on it again and you'll be taken to a different mirror. And if you think this single-click-download is a good idea, then comment on bug 138783 . After all, how long does it take to edit a simple HTML generation file? More than six months, at this rate. Still, if Eclipse.org isn't going to step up to the plate and provide decent downloadable links, EclipseZone is happy to provide them on your behalf.

One of the new features in the JDT is "Access rules for execution environments". If you have a project using an Execution Environment, the access rules are enforced, keeping you from accessing classes in, say, the com.sun.* packages.

I feel this is a nice feature to have; good to help make sure you know what you're doing. But if you need to use classes that are 'forbidden', I can't find a way to disable the access rules other than not using an Execution Environment and just pointing at a specific JDK in the project.

What are anyone else's thoughts on this? Has anyone else had this issue?

I was able to turn the JDT compiler errors/warnings down for access restriction violations. But I think it still would be nice to say for a given Environment, open up a particular set packages.
