jConfig is an extremely helpful utility, arming the developer with a simple API for the management of properties. Parts of the implementation are based on the idea that Properties, from Java's perspective, are a good thing, but can be better. jConfig employs the use of XML files for storing and retrieving of property information. The information can be stuffed into nice categories, which makes management quite a bit simpler. The ability to load from a URL is also a nice feature. It allows for a central repository where multiple instances of jConfig can read a single file. The nifty ability to switch between XML and Properties files isn't fully exploited yet, but will be coming soon. That will mean that the developer would take their existing Properties files and export them to XML. That means less time to get up and get going with jConfig. My team is planning to use JConfig in one of the upcoming projects. If you have a view on JConfig, plz share that experience. Or, if you are...

The foundation of Dojo is "Dojo Base", a single tiny library which contains Ajax, event handling, effects, blazing fast CSS queries, language utilities, and a lot more. On top of this Base, the rest of Dojo Core adds high-quality facilities for Drag and Drop, extended forms of Ajax and I/O, JSON-RPC, internationalization, and back-button handling. Layered on Dojo Core is a widget system, Dijit, which makes developing and reusing interface components a snap. If you can write HTML and CSS, Dijit allows you to quickly build reusable client-side components. Similarly, Dojo can use extended attributes on HTML in order to declare where widgets should be placed and how to configure them. Placing a graphical date picker in a page is as easy as adding an attribute to an <input> element. By upgrading standard HTML inst...
