About the Authors

Joshua Marinacci started playing with Java in the summer of ’95 at the

request of his favorite TA and has never looked back. Since then he has built

all manner of Java software for clients ranging from large Fortune 500 com-

panies to small Internet startups. He quickly discovered his passion for user

interfaces and client software, building a reputation in the desktop Java

world and finally joining the Swing Team at Sun in the spring of 2005. In his

spare time, Joshua writes articles and weblogs for Java.net while contribut-

ing to the JDIC, JDNC, and WinLAF open source projects. He also heads

up Flying Saucer, an open source, all-Java XHTML renderer. This is his first

book, but hopefully not his last. He lives in historic East Atlanta with his

girlfriend Kim and their yellow labrador Eliza.

Chris Adamson is the Editor of O’Reilly’s ONJava site and the Associate

Online Editor for Java.net, a collaboration of O’Reilly, Sun Microsystems,

at conferences such as ADHOC/MacHack and the O’Reilly Mac OS X

Conference. He develops media applications under the guise of his consult-

ing company, Subsequently & Furthermore, Inc. He has an M.A. in Tele-

communications from Michigan State University and a B.A. in English and

B.S. in Symbolic Systems from Stanford University. He lives in Atlanta with

his wife, Kelly, and their children, Keagan and Quinn, and he has thus far

managed to own seven and a half Macs.
