Just “discovered” the newly (in JDK 1.4) added java.beans.EventHandler which allows you to do stuff like: but.addActionListener(    (ActionListener)EventHandler.create(ActionListener.class, target, “myButtPressed”, “”)) which when but is pressed the method called setMyButtPressed(ActionPerformed event) will be called.

I’ve got two interal review ID’s (191008 and 191011) but no [...]

In the process of debugging some serious sun java problems I wanted to see what the heck the Java Print Services actually sent to my printer! In the hope someone else had thought of the same I Googled for “virtual printer driver”, “gdi monitor” etc. etc. and came up with nothing I could find a [...]

It’s about 5 months since i announced Hibern8IDE beta-release. Well, today I’ve build a new .jar file for you AND added the source code to the HibernateExt CVS repository. Thus, now you can all see all the gritty details Well, it was actually VERY simple to make this small interactive HQL editor – just haven’t [...]

KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().addPropertyChangeListener(“focusOwner”, new PropertyChangeListener() {    Color FOCUS_COLOR = Color.CYAN;    Component last;    Color background = null;    public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent evt) {       Component current = (Component)evt.getOldValue();       Component future = (Component)evt.getNewValue();          if(current==last && current != null) {             current.setBackground(background);          }          last = future;          if(last!=null) {             background = last.getBackground();             last.setBackground(FOCUS_COLOR);             }          }       }); ….and voila! you get EVERY component that can [...]
