Matisse, the killer feature from NetBeans

June 27, 2005 on 1:15 pm | In Java | Add a comment

“Matisse”:http://www.netbeans.org/files/documents/4/475/matisse.html is a killer feature. Granted, it does not shine in originality — it looks very similar to the way Apple’s Interface Builder does things — but this is a godsend for Java developers who write desktop applications and to the countless number who have struggled with GridBagLayout.

I cannot wait for Matisse to be backported into Java 1.4.2.

Koders Code Search

June 15, 2005 on 11:44 pm | In General, OSS | Add a comment

Koders aspires to become the Google of open-source software projects. It allows anyone to search the code base of thousands of open-source projects. Searches can be done on either simple keywords, or complex criteria including language and type of licence used. Plugins are available for Eclipse and Visual Studio, which makes it easier for programmers to find code extracts from the comfort of their IDE. Another nice feature of Koders is the ability to view statistics for software projects.

The speculation, rebuttal, confirmation and acceptance of the news that “Apple will build computers based on Intel processors”:http://tinyurl.com/7asrs as early as 2006 is already old news. So I am only including this here for posterity. And to be part of the crowd.
