JGoodies Binding vs. JSR 295?

Just use JGoodies, as it is mature and works. There are certainly ideas from the JGoodies framework being incorporated into the JSR, but as it is not there at this time yet, the options are limited.

Just use JGoodies, as it is mature and works. There are certainly ideas from the JGoodies framework being incorporated into the JSR, but as it is not there at this time yet, the options are limited. The current state seems to be that the JSR will not even get into JDK 7, so we have to wait for JDK 8.

Alex Miller has a great page which provides a nice overview about the things which will go in jdk7 and which won't. tech.puredanger.com/java7 Beans Binding has a red NO to it, so... Hooray, JGoodies. Cheers.

Mark Reinhold stated at Devoxx '08 talk that JSR 295 will not be included in Java 7. If you watch the video (available at Parley's) he says that there is not enough consensus on how to do binding to include it at this time. – Alex Miller Feb 5 '09 at 15:01 Could you be more specific?

JSR295 isn't slated for Java 7 but neither is JGoodies. Why does that make JGoodies better? I understand the maturity issue, but JSR295 doesn't work?

Or are the features less usable? – Jason S Mar 11 '09 at 14:09 For some reason JSR295 seems to be dead - the latest version is 1.5 years old - while JGoodies Binding seems to be well alive. This makes JGoodies more attractive from developer point of view.

Additionally, having tried both, JGoodies is noticeably easier to use. – Joonas Pulakka Mar 11 '09 at 14:35.

Thanks Daniel! Now that JSR 295 has no standardization advantage, this is an easy choice. I wonder why they don't make JGoodies a standard part of JDK :-).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
