		<title>OSGi, Maven, Pax, and web applications</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post is written for developers that are trying to deploy a .war file inside of an OSGi runtime environment.  I experienced a lot of pain along the way to making my solution work, so hopefully this will alleviate any pain that you might have.
The Scenario
This post primarily reflects the environment in which I am [...]]]></description>

		<title>Born to Run</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Because I finished reading Cryptonomicon a few days ago, I was looking for the next book I wanted to read on my Kindle.  I downloaded some classics - Swiss Family Robinson, Treasure Island, Count of Monte Cristo - all of which cost me $0.00. But I wanted to read something current as well, so [...]]]></description>

		<title>4.3 Hours of Streaming Flash Video on the Google Phone (Nexus One)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here's a great (but kinda long) video.
Short story - Apple (as we already knew) was full of shit when they said that Flash couldn't be used on mobile devices, claiming that it would destroy battery life.  But then again, if things were up to Apple, we'd all be stuck using QuickTime Video.  *shudder*.
4.3 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Java.net Maven Users Have Hope!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is no stretch to say that Java.net's Maven infrastructure (or lack thereof) is the worst I've encountered in a project hosting environment.
It looks like the boys from Sonatype are willing to help out on this front by offering Maven repository hosting on their own public Nexus instance for any Java.net project that wants it. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Maven 2 vs Ant+Ivy: Revisited</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I've received a lot of hits and discussion concerning my previous post regarding Maven 2 vs Ant+Ivy, and I'm writing a follow up post to clarify some things.
I now firmly believe that Maven 2 is a better build and project management tool than Ant+Ivy.  I was wrong.
Yep, I said it.  I'm man enough [...]]]></description>

		<title>Free as in Speach or Free as in Beer?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I never understood this line when discussing Open-Source Software.  Richard Stallman attempted to clarify the differences in Open-Source distribution models by saying "Free as in speach, not free as in beer".
"Free as in beer" is meant to signify a gratis, or no-cost (no money) distribution (but it is not necessarily free to do with [...]]]></description>

		<title>IntelliJ IDEA Performance : A Big Boost</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just jotting down some recommendations from a friend:

Create an EXE4J_JAVA_HOME environment variable that points to your JDK installation (i.e. export EXE4J_JAVA_HOME=$JAVA_HOME).
Delete the &#60;idea install dir&#62;/jre directory
Add the following JVM options to what you may already have in Idea's JVM config (&#60;idea install dir&#62;/bin/idea.exe.vmoptions on Windows):
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSIncrementalMode

		<title>Linux, java.awt.headless and the DISPLAY environment variable</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a quick note to self:
After looking at the JDK source code today, we found that even when setting -Djava.awt.headless=true, if a script executes with the DISPLAY environment variable set, the AWT graphics environment will still use a GraphicsEnvironment representing that DISPLAY.
A major problem with this is if the shell that launched the script that [...]]]></description>

		<title>BMW Paddle Shifters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A friend of mine recently pointed me to this forum thread, and I'd like to add my thoughts, based on actual long-term experience in driving a 535i with the Steptronic transmission with paddle shifters for over a year.
The BMW's paddle shifters don't work like Ferrari or Formula 1 cars, where the right paddle up-shifts and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Java Class Naming Conventions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok, I'm about to go on a rant, because I come across something regularly that really, really, REALLY irritates me:
Whenever you see a class that implements an interface SomeName, and the name of that class is SomeNameImpl.
Guess what folks, EVERY implementation of an interface is an 'Impl'.  If you suffix 'Impl' at the end [...]]]></description>
