HQE (Hibernate Query Editor) is a GUI editor for executing and editing HIbernate HQL queries.
From the screenshots it looks easy to use, but may not offer any more functionality from what is already available in the JBoss Eclipse IDE tool set.

It seems amazing to me that Windows 95 was launched 10 years ago (on August 24th).
I can remember going to PC World store and looking at the box on the shelf and playing around with it on a demo machine. It was worlds apart from Windows 3.1, but since at that time I was working for IBM in OS/2 Software Support, it didn’t get me that excited, especially since at that time OS/2 was already years ahead of Windows 3.1.
That point was a definite career turning point for me though. Windows 95 was the nail in the coffin for OS/2. In the following year I worked as an in-house developer for an Insurance company, developing a new Claims Handling system using Intelligent Environment’s Application Manager on OS/2. During this time I could see that the world was changing and I needed to get away from OS/2, which was beginning to look like a sinking ship.
During 1996 Sun were making a lot of noise about their new programming language, Java, and the promises of ‘Write Once, Run Anywhere’. This to me was a ray of light and a way out from being tied to any particular OS and platform. I downloaded the JDK 1.0.3 and started learning the language at home.
In 1997 I took a job with a software development company who were interested at that time in expanding their product line, and Java was a hot buzzword at the time. I took a job with them to cross-train to Powerbuilder and Oracle, with the promise of being involved in Java development within the next year. Powerbuilder was a stepping stone for me to get away from OS/2 and towards Windows, plus the offer of getting involved in Java development was a good incentive for me.
It was another year after in 1998 that that I started work on prototyping web-based enhancements for the company’s client/server system using Java and Oracle Application Server, but I had finally made it to the land of Java, and I’m still happily here today 🙂
Java SE 5.0 offers finder grained control over locking and concurrency control than in previous JDK releases. This article in this months JDC Tech Tips introduces some of these utilities in the java.util.concurrent package and how they are used.
Become.com’s system is a massive web search engine that crawls the web for goods being sold and offers comparisons between like products. The crawler engine is written in Java and indexes more than 3 billion web pages and generates index data of over 8 terrabytes of data over 30 distributed servers during a 7 day run.
The crawler code is written in 39,000 thousand lines of code running over 40 to 50 machines, with 180Gb of total allocated memory and running upto 5000 threads.
