Utter BS. I've been doing Java programming for 10 years and have never touched XML thank god.
"the Java mindset" - more utter BS. There isn't a 'Java mindset' unless you're a bad programmer who is ruled by his language instead of using languages as tools.
The "mindset" you have depends on how good a coder you are. Which is the same regardless of which language you decide to use to solve a particular problem.
- Tichy 17y agoFine, then you are the exception to the rule. As for the mindset, it seems to me that at least SUN was very busy churning out cookbooks for a lot of things. Mostly Enterprise Java - if you managed to avoid that, more power to you. But I think most people tried to do things the "official" way.
- axod 17y agoTotally @ Enterprise. Horrible horrible stuff that, but really, there's some great technology in the JVM, and built in libs. And the Java language is a pretty sane general purpose language. It's fairly easy to spot all the crap and avoid it.
