Google thinks like somewherein….

Recently Sun Microsystems talked with Li Moore software engineer at Google, Inc.

Google

is using Java SE and some bunch of Java EE libraries..

Google widely use Java Collection, Java Concurrency and Java NIO packages in their projects.

Li Moore is very much interested on Tiger (J2SE 5.0), he was waiting for the “enums” “generics” feature in Java SDK. He was also expecting some addition in Java SE like clone() method to Cloneable class and also one interesting things that is “Pluggable file system API” like http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=203 this proposed JSR.

He and his team got more fun when they have introduced for-each style loop in J2SE 5.0 (Tiger)

But more interesting and I catching for somewhere in… people is “Google do think as similar as somewhere in… people think”.

Let’s make it clear.

“……Google lets its engineers devote 20 percent of their time to any project that they think is cool and in the company’s interest…….” – Li Moore.

That’s obviously a great fun that we are thinking as one successful company (upcoming gain).

I am really surprised that Google (upcoming giant) is also using Java SE and some part of Java EE in their big projects…

In the recent conversation between Li Moore and Sun Microsystem guy i have learned this fact

You can easily add Splash screen in your exisiting application just adding this line in your executing command :

java -splash:filename.gif SplashTest

You can also use MANIFEST file:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: SplashTest
SplashScreen-Image: filename.gif

More over you can handle SplashScreen class
