Substance of Code

It was a nice suprise to find Atlassian’s Codegeist T-shirt from my mailbox the other day. This year I was only able to code a small plugin for JIRA called NetBeans JIRA Plugin. I got the idea for this plugin as I was reading a book, Rich Client Programming, which has a great value when [...]

My previous posting “Using Bluetooth stack in desktop application” was quite a success if measured by the number of comments. It seems that there aren’t many tutorials or articles about the Desktop usage of Bluetooth.
Here is a next chapter in the same category: using Bluetooth to send files from a computer to a mobile phone.

Lots of coding have been done for the next version of Mobile Trail Explorer. I’m happy to announce the release of version 1.10. This release contains many fixes such as loading/saving of trails. Previous version wasn’t necessarily able to load saved trails because of corrupted data.

Another nice feature is the ability to import both trails [...]

I’m nowadays working in an international company which has offices in multiple countries. I was looking for a way to get our Confluence, Enterprise Wiki, to display current time in all of our offices in one page.

I’ve been coding dashboard applications lately with Java SE. I have used JFreeChart library to generate all pie, line and bar charts. The library is awesome and is also Open Source. It would be very nice to see similar projects in the .NET world.
It was very easy to create first charts with JFreeChart mostly because [...]

I thought it was already Christmas as I just received a package from Sun Microsystems full of NetBeans goodies. I won these from the NetBeans.TV competition. Package included nice T-shirt, Rich Client Programming book, NetBeans pen, 1Gb memory stick and stress ball (or cube actually).
I have used NetBeans IDE 6.0 from the early daily builds [...]

I have had this idea of visualizing global networks and connections with 3d globe for a long time but haven’t had time to try it out. Now that I’ve been exploring possibilities of Java 3D I was able to implement this feature quite easily.
The current API looks like this:

Globe globe = new Globe(this);
globe.addConnection(”Finland”, “Germany”);
globe.addConnection(”Finland”, “Italy”);
globe.addConnection(”Finland”, [...]
