Starting my blog again at Sun

After a brief stint at a startup, I joined back at Sun a month ago (the same day when Oracle agreed to buy Sun). Immediately after joining, I got busy in the project called Project Vector (recently blogged by Jonathan Schwartz) and  didn't find time to blog. I'm excited to be in the JavaFX team and planning to write JavaFX tidbits in my blog.

Also, I'll continue to cover Java Server Faces, which I think is the best Web UI framework in the market. I talked to Ed Burns (JSF spec lead) today at Community ONE, and glad to know from him that JSR 314: JavaServer Faces 2.0 has been approved. I'm going to read the final draft of the JSF 2.0 and voice my opinion.

During my startup days, I had the great opportunity to learn Eclipse and developed several eclipse plugins. I have become a fan of Eclipse PDE (Plugin Development Environment). I was wondering why so many startups choose Eclipse as their choice of development tool. Now I get it. However, Eclipse Java EE Web development tool, which is huge and awkward., is no way near to Netbeans Java EE development tool in terms of elegance and ease of development.

I'm glad to be back and start blogging.
