![]() The old cliche’ applies: Just use the right tool for the job. Thus, I’ve developed a greater appreciation for Java.īut at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter. I’ve been using some really nice Java GUI apps (Limewire, Azureus, NetBeans, Eclipse, DrJava, jEdit, HotJava Browser), and I’ve been coding more with J2EE, using JSPs, Servlets, EJBs, JDBC, and employing MVC structure. And I used to not like Java and/or Java based apps, having the impression that Java is too slow, Java GUI apps were ugly and bloated, and J2EE too complex. Through my programming career, and general computer usage, I’ve generally preferred C and C++, as the natively compiled code produces faster, more compact applications. Then there is SWT, led by the Eclipse IDE, which looks and performs magnificently (and uses native GUI libraries). Also, Swing is looking a lot better these days. Better Swing based apps are coming out, Swing itself has become better optimized, and people are using Swing with Java threading better, producing more responsive applications. ![]() J2EE, even with it’s complexity, is one of the areas where Java really shines.Īlso, Java is starting to really shine on the desktop. Java’s biggest area of usage is on the server side, with J2EE, both for large ecomerce sites and for large, distributed corprate business applications. “I personally don’t care how many OSS Java projects there are, on average I rarely see more than two or three Java applications on any given computer.”
