The open source landscape has evolved into a complex maze of licenses and
business models. To make matters more confusing, any simple meaning of the
phrase "open source" has become lost amid a sea of ambiguous and arcane
terminology. As a result, many software developers fail to recognize the
potential benefits of innovative models of software distribution and source
code disclosure.
Background
Copyright law entitles programmers, like authors and artists, to exclusive
control over the distribution and sale of their intellectual property, which
includes source code. The value of source code is well recognized, but for
competitive reasons software developers often are reluctant to include source
at a reasonable price, if at all. Holding a diametrically opposite point of
view, the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) community contends that source
code generally shoul... (more)
If you are planning to do build a career as a software developer, you have to
be prepared to get trained and re-trained every couple of years. But how? If
you’re lucky, your employer will send you to classes, otherwise you have to
spend substantial amount of time self-studying. Back in the nineties I was
hungry for the courseware. Going through these thick manuals on hot
technologies was the shortest way to master them.
Beside software developers, university professors and contract instructors
are also looking for the courseware that would help them to teach the class
without ma... (more)

Over the last several weeks I've received a few questions about remote
debugging with Eclipse. I posted about this on my other blog back in February
here but with not enough info for others to follow.
If you go look at that blog entry you will see that I looked into 'in
eclipse' debugging but did not find it satisfactory.
So without further ado here is how I use Tomcat, JBoss, and Eclipse to build
and debug applications.
Whichever platform you are using (Tomcat or JBoss) you need to start them
with the JPDA debugging ... (more)
