This screencast demonstrates the small language changes that are part of Open JDK 7, which is available from the Open JDK website. It demonstrates multi-catch, try with resources, strings in switch statements, underscores in literals, and the diamond operator.

If you have any issues watching the video below, then you may have better luck viewing it on the JetBrains.tv site.

I’ve made a lot of screencasts and blog posts over the years. If you like this, then there are many ways to see the other stuff I’ve done: 

The screencast was created with Ubuntu 10.04, PiTiVi, Audicity, gtk-RecordMyDesktop, IntelliJ IDEA, and LibreOffice. OS from top to bottom.

Thanks for watching, and leave a comment!

Griffon has a strong MVC focus, and functionality is built using MVC groups. This is not a screen or a form, an MVC group is a piece of functionality, and a single form is made of MVC groups composed together. The way MVC groups talk to each other is through an event bus, rather than being coupled directly to each other.

I created a screencast that demonstrates these concepts in just under 7 minutes. In the video, I create an app, create several MVC groups, and then wire them together with the event bus.

If the video doesn’t play correctly, you may want to launch it from the JetBrains.tv site. Also, if you want to be nice then you can upvote this at DZone.

Boom. Winning.

We’re rolling out Mockito and trying to raise our testability at work and I’m set to give a presentation/training session tomorrow to a few new teams. In case you don’t know, Mockito is a mock object framework for Java. It’s competitors are EasyMock, JMock, and others if you’re more familiar with those. If you haven’t seen it then you may want to check out my old post “Mockito – Pros, Cons, and Best Practices“. To prepare for my presentation I decided to record myself practicing my material and post it on youtube. Enjoy!

The first screencast is about creating mock objects and stubbing behavior. These are the absolute basics of mocking.

The second screencast is about verifying behavior, or verifying side effects, using Mockito. This is a little more advanced but still an essential API in working with Mockito. YouTube reports this video as 13 minutes long, but don’t worry it is only 4:45. Some quirk of YouTube.

The final screencast is about argument matchers, which add flexibility to your stub and verify phases.

I hope you enjoyed these. They could be a little more practiced, but I’m happy enough with the quality. I recorded these on Ubuntu 10.4 using recordMyDesktop and mencode to convert from .ogv to .avi.

At the last Hackergarten we came together and created two screencasts, both about projects in the Groovy ecosystem.

The first is about GroovyServ, an application that increases the startup time of Groovy scripts. It is in German, but is easy to follow along even if you don’t speak the language. You can vote for it at DZone here and watch it below:

The second is about CodeNarc, a static analysis tool for Groovy similar to FindBugs or PMD for Java. The screencast can be upvoted at DZone or watched below:

Be sure to follow the mailing list for future Hackergarten events… it would be great to have some more people come out and join us next time.

Daniel Grob and I recorded a screencast to show what’s new in the upcoming release:

The screencast highlights a number of features that Daniel presented and discussed in this blog.

The video is a little over 7 mins but we believe you’ll be able to build a ULC app in 5 mins…

As mentioned in last week’s blog post, UltraLightClient 6.2 offers a new test framework.

We put together a 6:15 minute screencast showing how to create functional tests for ULC using this new framework:

View screencast.

Tests written with the ULC test framework can be executed in development mode, as well as in deployed mode, allowing you to test the application in a “real” situation.

Automated functional testing to be one of the most important building blocks you need to deliver reliable enterprise rich client applications. The ULC test framework is a tool that will allow you to build, accumulate and automatically reproduce and test all relevant interactions between a user and your application.

This screencast will show you how to create an UltraLightClient project for the first time, how to run the application in development mode, how to automatically deploy a Web application (in this case as a Servlet, how to deploy it in a Servlet container and how to run it.

The presentation is about 8 minutes long and is for new UltraLightClient developers, that would like to get a quick overview. It uses the ULC Integration plugin for Eclipse, which is available for free from the ULC code community.
