Mark Wielaard: New GPG key.
Finally created a new GPG key using gnupg. The old one was a DSA/1024 bits one and 8 years old. The new one is a RSA/2048 bits one. I will use the new one in the future to sign any release tarballs I might create. pub 2048R/57816A6A 2011-01-29 Key f...

Poll Result: Java EE Is Getting Better
This past week's java.net poll presented a list of statements related to Java EE, and asked people to select which statement they agree with most. The results suggest that many developers consider Java EE complicated, but Java EE 6 is considered a major improvement in terms of ease of use. A total of 379 votes were cast. The exact question and results were:
Which Java EE statement do you agree with most?
21% (79 votes) - Java EE is too complicated
10% (37 votes) - Java EE's complexity reflects the problems it solves
15% (55 votes) - Java EE's modularity makes it as simple or complex as your app requires
39% (146 votes) - Java EE 6 is much easier to use than previous versions
3% (10 votes) - I disagree with all of those statements!
11% (43 votes) - I don't know
2% (9 votes) - Other
The results of the non-scientific survey suggest that the view of Java EE as being overly complex remains for many people. However, even more people consider Java EE a significant improvement compared with earlier versions of Java EE with respect to ease of use. For a technology as mature as Java EE, to make additions and enhancements to the platform, while also making the technology easier to use, is a remarkable success story!
While 21% consider Java EE too complicated, a total of 25% agree that Java EE is complex, but appropriately so: 10% consider the complexity to reflect the fact that Java EE addresses difficult proble...
