There was a bunch of good things to see at this years Devoxx. My personal highlights are ScalaTest (you definitively want to look into this when testing concurrency in any java code ... the best way to test different race scenarios I've seen so far).
Another highlight was the amount of work done on JavaFX yet. The new UI for the clickable gui builder shown briefly by Tor ... surely you remember...
My last post was about introduction of continuation is the Java VM,
This one is about how to use continuation to easily implement service on top of
a non blocking IO server.

 I participated Symbian Exchange in London last week. We had a small Birds of Feather session there about Runtimes on Symbian. For that I prepared a small roadmap presentation giving out information of what new features our future Java Runtime releases will contain for developers. It's a roadmap and work in progress so any changes should be expected.

 Slightly off-topic, but very cool: Josh Marinacci just announced the first public version of Project MaiTai.Josh describes MaiTai this way: MaiTai is an open source tool for building interactive artwork. You create interesting sketches by wiring different blocks together with lines. There are blocks to produce graphics, process mouse and keyboard inputs, connect to webservices, and perform complex graphical transformations. The end result is limited only by your imagination.

 There’s been an important and relatively sudden change taking place over the last couple of years in the way that we interact with the Web. While direct access or search activity has been (and still is) the most common way that we access the content and applications of the Web, new ways have been rapidly growing and competing with how we work online, both at home and at work.

java.net CommunitiesSpotlightsTerrence Barr invites us to Check out Java Card 3.0 Connected Edition: Real Java, just really flat ;-): "Java Card 3.0 was released a couple of months ago – and the second update (version 3.0.2) is scheduled for December. If you haven’t paid much attention to Java on smart cards because you thought it’s not “real” Java – well, look again. It’s true that Java Card 2 was very limited in many ways – a testament to the kind of technology you had available on smart cards 10 years ago. There are billions of these out there today..."
