Most(if not all) of the regular expressions a developer needs is already available. There are numerous resources online ranging from blogs and even an ever growing library. Not to mention the endless discussions on stackoverflow.
Few days back, I had lost the sources to a project and had to decompile them from the original build. Did not expect the decompiler to throw in so much comments.
Well, lots happening in the latest java upgrade and ironically most of us are comfortable with Java 5 or 6. Enough said.
The changes in NIO is quite impressive.
The Java programming language requires that identical string literals (that is, literals that contain the same sequence of code points) must refer to the same instance of class String. In addition, if the method String.intern is called on any string, the result is a reference to the same class instance that would be returned if that string appeared as a literal.
Having written about Java serialization previously, I thought I’d put in some research into the concept of ‘Marker Interfaces’ or ‘Tag Interfaces’. Well, getting matters straight, technically, the word ‘Marker’ is an invention of bloggers and technical writers. Java specification says nothing about an interface being a ‘Marker Interface’.

Classloaders are pivotal in the lifecycle of a JVM. This a look into how they work.
One of the most interesting corners in ‘Java World’ is serialization. Serialization provides the developer with the ability to store an object’s state in memory, or converting the object to a stream of binary digits, and stored in memory.
