		<description><![CDATA[I thought this was interesting&#8230; In Java, a block scoped variable may conflict with a local variable declared later in method scope, but not previously (as shown below):

class A&#123;
  public static void main&#40;String args&#91;&#93;&#41;&#123;
    &#123;int k = 5;&#125;

		<description><![CDATA[I just noticed that java enums allow protected member variables and methods. Why is this interesting? Can you think of any code that might actually make use of a protected member in an enum (as opposed to private)? Example after the jump (warning, not practical&#8230;).

		<description><![CDATA[Providing a robust, maintainable, and interactive interface to your C/C++ application can be a challenge, but I&#8217;ve found that a combination of SWIG, Java, and JRuby (or Jython if you prefer) makes for a very powerful combination.

		<description><![CDATA[DVSL is a fairly small, little known, product associated with the Velocity project over at Apache which takes the best part of XSLT: XPATH, and replaces the verbose and frustrating scripting of XSLT with a java-based template language instead.

I thought I&#8217;d try writing yet another implementation of the net_tool application using Rhino. Originally this was going to be a single article, but it turns out to be a two-fer.
