wow, that is interesting that clicking it from the CP email brought you to CP.
I have no answer to that. Is it working entirely now?
That's what my experience was. Once I got through then it worked fine afterward.

I am using Chrome and CodeProject is a frqeuent site, so it's on my icon list.
It works from here with no issues, and that is to the base site, not the lounge.

I am plugging along at this hibernate module on pluralsight. I'm just getting back into Java and all the stuff that goes with it. I'm learning eclipse pretty good, everything is going well.

So I had some other stuff to do yesterday, and I figured while I did that I'd install the GWT stuff and the toolkit for eclipse. When I came back in this morning and returned to the pluralsight module, I'm surprised to find that I keep throwing all kinds of errors related to hibernate.

Quick output of the exception shows that it can't find my cfg file. Ok, it's there....everything was working when I left it.... but I try to make another and then my error changes to can't find my first mapping file. I'm confused. So, on a hunch, I go in there and just put a space in the file and save it. Poof, now it finds it. I had to do that with each mapping file.

So, I guess it forgot?

Anyway, I like eclipse. I'm learning the shortcuts and it's growing on me. Easier with maven too. Just this one quirk so far, other than flipping my world upside down and putting me on Java.

I have that as well. All the tutorials pretty much use eclipse.

The one dude on pluralsight with the web fundamentals used intellij, but he's like "Yup, here , we've already set up the project so we just..."

Except I had no idea how to set up the project at the time. So I'm waiting on IntelliJ for now. It's kind of a mixed bag. The company I'll be working with uses eclipse, but the devs here on my team will use intelliJ.

I'm not sure which way I'll go. I think the speed of intellisense in the intellij is a good enough reason to use it. It's not that good in eclipse.

I used to use netbeans for everything.

I always liked netbeans, but the plugins are usually late to adopt if at all. That's the only issue I had with it. Other than that, it's a fantastic IDE in my opinion.

I think I'd go with IntelliJ now that I would get a subscription at work.

Java vs. C#

Ian Shlasko16-Jul-15 3:34

I apologize in advance for not telling a joke about telling jokes about things, but I need to vent, and I just happen to have the Lounge open in my browser (As always)...

Ok, so I'm mainly a .NET programmer, but I've spent the last couple months writing a three-tier Java/GWT/GXT application... Hadn't used Java in over a decade, so had to teach myself a few frameworks, but that's no big deal... Part of the job...

So now I think I have enough experience to complain about both...

Things C# Has and Java Needs:
* Property syntax... Seriously, I'm so sick of writing getThingy and setThingy methods. They're ugly and they don't add anything. I miss being able to just type "public double Thingy { get; set; }"
* Namespace/package aliases. "using STUFF = com.blah.meh.ugh.stuff" would be great. Wildcards are ok, but there's so much junk in the JRE with similar names that it gets confusing
* IEnumerable. Seriously, why does it matter if a function returns an array or a list, if all I'm going to do is iterate it? Arrays and Lists need to implement some common interface(s) so I'm not always converting back and forth depending on which third-party library uses which.
* Function pointers that actually work... I hate having to build an inner/anonymous class that implements an interface, just so I can pass a callback. This might be a GWT weakness instead of a Java weakness...
* Optional method arguments.
* Partial classes. Splitting code between files makes it much easier to organize
* Multiple classes per file. Honestly, if I have a handful of classes that are about five lines each, why do they each have to be a separate file? Why can't I just put them in a "Things.java" file (Or something more specific than 'Things')?
* Events... Sure, there are event frameworks, but the ones I've messed with feel clumsy and hacked-in... Need native language support for it.
* Project/module-based root packages. In C#, I can say my project's root namespace is "Company.This.That.TheOther" in ONE place, and never have to mess with it... In Java, my whole source tree is supposed to be under "com/company/this/that/theOther/" and every single file has to have "package com.company.this.that.theOther" at the top. If my IDE didn't automate refactoring, that would have driven me right out the window.
* WPF/XAML. GWT/UiBinder is about 20% of the way there. Maybe there's another framework that gets 30% of the way... But man, I really miss DataTemplates, Styles, and dynamic binding...

Things Java has and C# Needs:
* Anonymous classes. Not to replace LINQ, just to complement it. And honestly, I could live without this.
* Wildcard arguments for generics. If I have Foobar<int> and Foobar<String>, it's nice to be able to put them in a collection/array typed as Foobar<?>. The '? extends X' and '? super X' syntax might be a bit much, though.
* Maven (Or at least something like POM files)... NuGet is about 50% of the way there... Gotta say, Maven drove me crazy at first, but now it's really nice.

And that's about it...

Ok, rant over... Back to working on my GWT client... Wait, one more thing... GWT code generation is only about 25% more annoying than T4 templates. Ok, done.

Doesn't C# have anonymous classes?

var foo = new { bar = "baz", id = 3 };

Ian Shlasko16-Jul-15 4:01

16-Jul-15 4:01

Yeah, but very limited... Java does it to anonymously implement interfaces. Would be nice to do something like:

var foo = new ISomeInterface {  // <-- Interface, not class
  public void ImplementInterface(int something) {
    // blah blah blah
  }

  public void AnotherInterfaceMethod(string s) {
    // ...
  }
}

I am primarily a c# .net programmer, and recently at my job I've being moved to Java/GWT . I used java back in the day for a bit, but never found a job at it. I just let go and dove into .net.

I only used core Java, so I've been doing a lot of catching up. Brushing up on Java, learning maven, learning hibernate, learning servlet/tomcat/web basics. I'm getting ready to dive into the GWT stuff as soon as I finish this hibernate module on pluralsight.

Well, GWT is horrible and scary at first, but when you figure out how to do things their way, it's not TOO bad...

If, like me, you're familiar with WPF/XAML, you'll want to do your GWT with the UiBinder stuff... It's a XAML-wannabe... But be warned that all the data binding is static.

Would suggest avoiding GWT-RPC though... Do a RESTful service or something... Keep the client and server separated. GWT-RPC is easy to use, but it binds your tiers way too tightly.

Oh GWT... We thought you were the future and then Google released AngularJs. On a serious note, we have a GWT app that we are retiring after 6 years and migrating to Angularjs. GWT just has to much baggage. We found that we could get a lot more done using a restful json API and Angularjs.

Oh, I've got the restful JSON API covered... Loving the Jersey framework, despite the similarity to New Jersey (Hey, I'm a New Yorker - Making fun of NJ is just expected).

Almost made me start liking Java...

Until, just for fun, I tried doing the same thing in .NET and realized it was just as easy.

That's all? How about

unsigned integers as a type (Integer.fooUnsigned is kind of ugly), particular bytes.
value types.
operator overloading.
generics that are actually generics. Type erasure sucks.

Things that GWT really needs:

correct arithmetic. Seriously. How the hell can they get away with this nonsense[^]?
