All about the daily work issues of a Java/J2EE Computer Programmer

I was reading this article on How To Retain Your IT Employees for Longer and really could relate to it.  Number 4 on the list is something I would like to discuss further.  I was working for a company for 1 and 1/1/2 years  that did not foster and open and friendly atmosphere. The effect of a breakdown of communication in a unsuportive environment will lead to the failure of any project. Companies should really use this advise it will save more hassles and difficulties over the long term.

Have you ever wondered how to do something in Java? Java can be a vast and sometimes confusing language for the newbie and expert as well. Throughout my few years as a Java programmer I have learned that the best secret is to Google as needed and build a list of reliable resources that you can use as needed.

The best resource of Java code examples contains almost any type of code example for Java that you would ever need. Some of the Java code examples cover code in the following categories:

• JDK 6
• Web Services SOA
• Email
• Spring
• Hibernate
• Velocity
• Ant
• J2EE
• JSP
• JSTL
• Servlets
• Swing JFC
• Swing Components
• SWT JFace Eclipse
• Event
• Language Basics
• Development Class
• Collections Data Structure
• Regular Expressions
• Database SQL JDBC
• File Input Output
• XML
• Tiny Application
• J2ME
• Network Protocol
• Apache Common
• 2D Graphics GUI
• Chart
• 3D
• Game
• Advanced Graphics
• PDF RTF
• Design Pattern
• Security
• Threads

This is by far the best java code example site that I have run across in my years as a Java programmer. I highly think any Java programmer should have this in his web browser bookmarks.

I’ve had my fair share of debugging Struts related problems over the past few years. I was doing some research awhile back and found this page that discusses some Common Struts Errors. I really think this will be useful to anyone that works with the Struts framework in Java. It really can save a ton of time when you have no idea what some of those sometimes cryptic error messages mean.
