Acknowledgments
Well, here I am writing acknowledgments again. It’s no easier to remember everybody this time than it was the first. My editor, Mike Loukides, keeps me up at night stressing out about getting things done, which is exactly what a good editor does! Kyle Hart, marketing superwoman, keeps things going and reminds me that there’s light at the end of the tunnel. Tim O’Reilly and Frank Willison are patient, yet pushy, just what good bosses should be. And Bob Eckstein and Marc Loy were there for me for pesky Swing GUI problems. (Besides, Bob’s just funny. Face it.) O’Reilly is as good as it gets, all around. I’m honored to be associated with them.
I also want to think the incredible team of reviewers for this book. Many times, these folks turned a chapter around in less than 24 hours, yet still managed to give honest technical feedback. These guys are a large part of why this book stayed technical. Robert Sese, Philip Nelson, and Victor Brilon, you guys are amazing. Of course, I’ve always got to thank my partner in crime, Jason Hunter, for being annoyingly dedicated to JDOM and other technical issues (take a night off, man!). Finally, my company, Lutris Technologies, is about as good a place as you could hope to work for. They let me work long hours on this book, with never a complaint. In particular, Yancy Lind, Paul Morgan, David Young, and Keith Bigelow are simply the best at what they do. Thanks, guys!
To my parents, Larry and Judy McLaughlin, thanks again. I love you ...
