Swing and JDK 7: Sun keeps it going

Danny Coward posted a statement regarding the future of the swing package in later releases of the JDK.

According to him, Sun will continue the work on Swing and even more try to ease the development and enhance the deployment and runtime performance.

The whole post sounds very convincing that Sun hasn’t given up and that Swing will become more and more useful (again).

Danny also mentioned new components in JDK7 like the DatePicker and CSS styling – both are very attractive to me and I can’t wait to use them in the next project.

JBoss releases RESTEasy

JBoss released a project named “RESTEasy” which provides help to build RESTful web services and RESTful Java applications.

It is useable in any servlet container but – as you might already expected – it is built to work tighter with JBoss Application Server.

The features list provided on the front page shows very interesting details about the project. It supports various techniques and connection types. It looks worth checking out for the next java based project.

Do you have any experience with RESTEasy? What’s your favorite for implementing web services? Any comments on the featured project?
