Don’t worry, This article explains what are all the skills that you will need to be a Java web developer, and what are the skills that you are expected to have when you appear for an interview for a Java/J2EE web developer.

Apache Sling is a web framework that uses a Java Content Repository, such as Apache Jackrabbit, to store and manage content.
Sling applications use either scripts or Java servlets, selected based on simple name conventions, to process HTTP requests in a RESTful way.
As the first web framework dedicated to JSR-170 Java Content Repositories, Sling makes it very simple to implement simple applications, while providing an enterprise-level framework for more complex applications.
Bertrand Delacretaz and David Nuescheler created a sample site like TSS in Sling in 10 minutes, live on stage at the Jazoon conference. You See the sample here
Bertrand Delacretaz has written a tutorial which helps in getting started with the sling launchpad. the tutorial explains how to:
- get the launchpad
- build the launchpad
- start the launchpad
- create some content
- Render content using server-side java script
And some addition examples of how to create the node with uniqueue path, add page header with sling.include
there are good tutorials on dev.day.com also
I have heard an employee of day software saying that dev.day.com is built on sling

SnagIt – Now its my favourite
Just before few days when I was editing a screen shot with MS Paint, some one told me about a screen capturing utility SnagIt. When I installed and started using it, I asked my self what the hell was I doing with paint for all these days !!. why was I struggling with Paint when ever client asked for a screen shot of the proposed change in application !!.
If you use paint, than you may know, how frustrating it is, like capture the screen with Print Screen, go to paint and paste, remove the unwanted portions, the list goes on…..
Why SnagIt?
- Easily capture the regions of the screen.
- Capture a window.
- Capture a scrolling window or webpage (How will you do this with paint?)
- Record the screen video.
- Easily outline interested area with various shapes like circles, elipse, square etc.
- Use callouts like arrows, ballons.
- Easy to learn and use.
There are lots of other cool features that I don’t know yet. You can see some of the example screen shots here.
If you need to take screen shots frequently and you use paint for it than I will strongly recommend SnagIt. You can download a trial version of the software from here

The Early Draft Review for JSR 294 – Improved Modularity Support in the JavaTM Programming Language is now available for Review
The intention is to deliver this JSR as a component of Java SE 7.
JSR 294 plan to extend the Java programming language with new constructs called “superpackages” that allow hierarchical modular organizatio.
Each superpackage is a collection of one or more packages or superpackages, which helps to organize large programs consisting of many packages. Related packages that are grouped into a superpackage can access each others’ public
types, while unrelated packages outside the superpackage cannot access those types, unless the types are exported
Example declaration
superpackage A {
member package P;
member superpackage B;
}
superpackage B member A {
member superpackage C;
export superpackage C;
}
superpackage C member B {
member package Q;
export Q.X;
}

JSR 308 proposes an extension to Java’s annotation system that permits annotations to appear on any use of a type. (By contrast, Java SE 6 permits annotations to appear only on class/method/field/variable declarations; JSR 308 is backward-compatible and continues to permit those annotations.) Such a generalization removes arbitrary limitations of Java’s annotation system, and it enables new uses of annotations. This proposal also notes a few other possible extensions to annotations
Example
@NonNullDefault
class DAG {
Set<Edge> edges;
List<Vertex> getNeighbors(@Interned @Readonly Vertex v) @Readonly {
List<Vertex> neighbors = new LinkedList<Vertex>();
for (Edge e : edges)
if (e.from() == v)
neighbors.add(e.to());
return neighbors;
}
}

Easily manage eclipse plugins
Managing multiple eclipse plugins can become difficult, specially when you need to update or remove a particular plugin.
Heres the easy way to manage multiple eclipse plugins.
1) create a folder ‘links’ under eclipse home folder.
2) create a file plugins.link under this folder.
This file can have any name as far as extension is .link, you can create multiple link file for different plugins.
3) edit the link file and put the path of custom plugins folder
example path=D:/customplugins ( use forward slash only).
This custom plugin folder should reflect eclipse plugins directory structure.
create a ecliplse folder within customplugin folder.
create two folders features, and plugins under eclipse folder.
Now you are ready to install plugins in that custom location.
You can repeat this steps to install different plugins in different folders. it will help you when you want to remove/reinstall a particular plugin.
