In the firstthreeweeks of Project Coin over two dozen proposals have been sent to the mailing list for evaluation.The proposals have ranged the gamut from new kinds of expressions, to new statements forms, to improved generics support. Thanks to all Java community members who have sent in interesting, thoughtful proposals and contributed to informative discussions on the list!While there is a bit less than a week left in the call for proposals period, there has been enough...

Expanding on a few slides from my JavaOne talk last year, here are a few tips to keep in mind when designing exception types.First, all exceptions are serializable since Throwable implements Serializable; therefore, like all other serializable classes, exception types should declare a serialVersionUID field to ease evolving the type in the future. Using's javac's -Xlint:serial option will warn about missing serialVersionUID fields on serializable classes, amongst other...

Last week I was off attending my first Java Posse Roundup in scenic Crested Butte Colorado, pictured below. There were many good discussions related to JDK 7 and other programming, and non-programming, topics.Unfortunately, there were some difficulties with my flight back. Once again, the plane I was flying on had to be rebooted, but at least this time the passengers didn't need to be reinstalled! I missed my scheduled connection in Denver and caught the next flight to the...
