SDN Gets a Facelift
The front page of the Sun Developer Network -- developers.sun.com -- has a new look, and we want to share some of the thinking behind the changes and find out what you think.
First of all, you can meet some of the writers and editors on our staff as they discuss technical topics of the day. With that in mind, we've launched the Update Center. We think this a fun way for readers to stay on top of what's hot, and a great way to get to know some of the folks behind the scenes. Staff writer Robert Eckstein is up first and takes on the topic of JavaFX technology.
Look for links to technical tips and a quiz or poll in the right navigation bar. And in case you didn't notice, the Sun Tech Days link in the right navigation bar is using hCalendar microformats for the events. Learn more about microformats.
Lots of smart folks like you come to Sun's developer sites, so we're highlighting your contributions front and center in the SDN Share program. Hopefully, this will help encourage the Sun developer community to participate and learn from each other.
Blogs, blogs, and more blogs -- the most interesting will be featured on the front page each week.
We've made it easier to find all things developer by adding the Developer Resources section, with links to everything from training and certification to the New to Java Center. Look for information on new technologies, products, programs, and events at the top of the page, so you won't miss a thing.
Let us know what you think. We are open to suggestions and want you to keep coming back for the developer information you need, and perhaps a little fun.

Senior Managing Editor, SDN

Think you need a scrollbar...
I'm viewing this in Firefox and I can't see some of the content as it goes beyind the bottom of the window. I'm running on 1280 x 1024.
No scrollbars is annoying. other than that it looks good.

Aha! Ok found the problem, looks like the link i followed to get me to the site opened the site in a popup window with no scrollbars. I just tried it again on another machine typing the address in manually and it's all good...
Congrats on the facelift.

I can't print any pages beyond the first one on Firefox at SDN. Pages on this blog print just fine.

Fawad, none of our team (dedicated firefox people!) is able to duplicate your problem. You might want to try the usual; check for upgrades, reboot, etc. Good luck!

Hi Sun guys,
The look is awesome. I love it. Even though the fonts are bit big here. But every thing else is kool. Keep it up. Also i think the page should have some moving parts running. A bit flashy too.

working on jazzing the site up even more.

I've attached a PDF print of the page

I can consistently reproduce this problem on Firefox 2 on both Linux and Windows.

Why do you choose a page layout that wastes 2/3 of the screen space, by restricting the page to a narrow column? In an age of wide screens, this is just plain nuts, forcing content off-screen and forcing pointless scrolling. Please, start by buying wide screens for all your web developers, and find some web-development tools that understand how to generate adaptive geometry!

Hi,
For string manipulation if we want to delete any of the last character in a string then we don't have any predefined methods .So for this i have developed a method that removes the last character from a string.
following method will be use full for that.
public String removeLastChar(String key,char character){
String keyword = key;
int count=
keyword.lastIndexOf(character);
StringBuffer sb=
new StringBuffer(keyword);
if(count>0)
sb=
sb.deleteCharAt(count);
keyword=
sb.toString();
return keyword;
}
For example:
1).For the call removeLastChar("abc-xyz-sss",'-')
output: abc-xyzsss
2).For the call removeLastChar("abc/xyz/sss/tt",'/')
output: abc/xyz/ssstt

I get a pop-up on Windows telling me there is a new version of Java. I assume that is just the runtime, so I come here to see if my SDK is up to date. I can run "javac -version" to see where I am. It would be great to have a summary page saying which version is the latest, and a recommended "too old" version to know if it is worthwhile to upgrade.
