Answer by Sasha O for How would you use a Distributed Version Control System like Mercurial or Bazaar to manage large binary files?

Even though this is not a DVCS, you may want to look at Dropbox. You mostly work with the recent version of each tile but it keeps versioning information for each file so you can get back to the previos version if necessary. They also use binary deltas which may reduce upload/download times. One big advantage of Dropbox is a very natural user interface which […]

Answer by Sasha O for How to parse dynamic JSON fields with GSON?

According to GSON documentation you can do things like: Type mapType = new TypeToken() {}.getType(); // define generic type Map result= gson.fromJson(new InputStreamReader(source), mapType); Or you can try to write custom serializer for your class. Disclaimer: I too, have no experience with GSon but with other frameworks like Jackson.

I think it can be done per plugin. See this chapter from the Maven book. You might be able to configure the dependency plugin to download sources (even though I haven't tried it myself :-).

Answer by Sasha O for Understanding Java Swing screen buffer memory usage (reading materials would be welcome)

I am not aware of any automatic screen buffering support in Swing.

The AHAH! Moment
By my faith! For more than forty years I have been speaking prose without knowing anything about it, and I am much obliged to you for having taught me that.

Molière

We have been doing AHAH for a few months and now I know! The thing definitely makes sense, especially as the app gets more complicated and every bit of code shaved off the client side saves us a bit of our lives.

The performance still requires investigation. For now I assume that transparent gzip compression can make HTML snippets just about as small as compressed JSON responses.

  Well the main advantage here to avoid duplication (DRY). Imagine a web page which is both rendered by the server (for SEO) as well as dynamically, via AJAX. Something like Twitter. If you do the AJAX rendering the usual way — get the data via JSON and then “dress it up” into HTML, you end up with 2 totally different pieces of rendering code which should be synchronized, a headache.
  
  Using AHAH, you render both of them using the same code on the server side, transfer the rendered piece via AJAX and then the client-side JavaScript would only stick it at a proper place in DOM. Makes sense?
  
  However since the time of this post things changed a bit: the HTML has become more “semantic” so the rendering magic shifted to CSS which can be safely reused by both sides. Also, we made some sort of browser-side templates: we put template in HTML with “display:none”, then for rendering we copy it, populate and make it visible. Still a bit of duplication but not really a big problem. So AHAH is not used that much any more.
