http://groovy.dzone.com/articles/current en http://groovy.dzone.com/articles/jvm-language-summit-last-day The final day of the language summit sported loads of interesting presentations, just like the first two days. I can’t over stress how well prepared these three days have been - especially with regards to the schedule. A huge thanks to Brian Goetz, John Rose and Charles Nutter, for being the main instigators and coordinators of this effort.

Promising a consistent source structure for Swing applications, as Grails has done for the web, it also potentially provides an alternative application framework to those provided by Spring RCP, Eclipse RCP, and the NetBeans Platform. Clearly, this is a very interesting development.

It isn't easy to answer this question. There are several  projects using Ant. Should you run away from Ant just because there is a new cool tool out there called Gant?

This will not be news to anyone who is familiar with Groovy or with MigLayout. However, let's put words aside and look purely at code, for any hold outs out there, as well as for newbies to MigLayout. http://groovy.dzone.com/news/miglayout-inevitable-choice-gr#comments http://groovy.dzone.com/crss/node/5096 Thu, 18 Sep 2008 06:45:49 -0400 2425 21 geertjan http://groovy.dzone.com/sites/all/files/avatars/picture-250147.jpg Thu, 18 Sep 2008 06:45:49 -0400 geertjan 5096 at http://groovy.dzone.com http://groovy.dzone.com/articles/is-easyb-easy I was introduced to easyb by none other than the creator of easyb: Andrew Glover.
