There must be a good book/PDF/HTML file that describes the essentials & good practices of annotations in Java. I sort of know what they are from other good Java books, but I'm looking for something that would teach me most of what I would need to know to make good use of them. (preferably in PDF/HTML so I can print it out & read at my leisure, book ok also but those go out of date so fast...)
Any recommendations?
edit: I found the Sun guides, as well as tutorials like these from O'Reilly and DevX, and the section of Effective Java that covers them... OK, so I know what they are and what tools to read them, but that doesn't tell me much about how they are put to use in practice. (other than a little bit in Effective Java and the O'Reilly article above that suggest their use in automated testing frameworks)
Some opinions on annotations:

This guy is very much against them:

Hope this helps. Let us know what you find.

I am using MireDot for generating documentation for my REST service.
While it is awesome for generating the models and general information on the resources, I don't believe it currently has a way of "nicely" adding concrete example input/output.
That said, I am resorting to pure JavaDoc for writing the Json examples. And it's painful.
Does anybody know of any tool out there that helps write JavaDoc... and in particular makes it easy to insert formatted JSON/etc into it?
This is an old question I posted when I was just experimenting with ways to document an API.
Eventually I switched to Apiary over MireDot, which makes this task trivial. The reason for this transition was mostly to decouple the JavaDoc from the actual API documentation, as I found coupling those two can create a very messy code-base for a sophisticated API that requires a lot of documentation.
Ideally would have built documentation using an all-encompassing API management platform like Mashery or the like, but at the time that was not an option.

I'm looking for recommendations for a simple open source implementation of a Distributed Hash Table in Java to play around with. No fancy features, just for learning purposes, no production functionality needed. It should be simple to set up (e.g. 1 physical machine with n-JVMs) and well documented preferably with some examples, tutorials or starting guides.
Research yields these candidates: FreePastry and OpenChord but I'm not fully convinced they meet my criteria simplicity-wise.
Have you got any experience with these or other implementations? Recommendations?
Thanks & adios
There is TomP2P on Github.
Maybe JDHT will fit the bill. I haven't checked it out myself, but it's written at a university, sometimes that means it's simple and used for teaching. :-)
I have been working on an implementation of Kademlia lately. It's very simple to setup and use and it's well documented. There are several tests written that demonstrate the different functionality as well as a starting guide in the Readme.md file itself.
You can use openkad
I started with free pastry..I've had a great experience with it. It was very simple to set up and run a ring of nodes. I've been mainly using PAST (File storage) and its been quite easy to get running. I'd suggest having a look at the PAST tutorial here. https://trac.freepastry.org/wiki/tut_past
The code is over simplified in my opinion but you say that is all you need so I guess thats ok.

I am finding for the good resources to learn OpenCMS. Please provide the guideline/best practices to develop an OpenCMS based websites. Any kind help is appreciated.
There's a wiki.
There are books available. I've only read this one, which was helpful but is targeted more at improving an intermediate skillset rather than being an introduction.
There is also a mailing list.
Of course, you can also subscribe to the Stackoverflow OpenCMS tag feed, although it doesn't see a lot of action.
To get started, you should IMHO start with creating a simple site. The first thing you need will be a template.
There is a good article in the wiki about that subject:
http://www.opencms-wiki.org/wiki/Example_template_with_tree_menu
In the meantime documentation improved a lot and can be found on http://documentation.opencms.org/.

I am interested in an array of software ideas and use more than one language, is there somewhere that concisely lists software development conferences year by year? I'd like to know what options are out there for this year and searching by ideology/language isn't practical in my opinion to get an overall.
Some ideologies/languages that interest me (but open to others):
TDD (with various languages, not just Java)
Agile (w/Scrum, Kanban)
Java
C++
.NET/C#
Development Tools (IDE, Debuggers, etc...)
Not a listing but I use http://www.infoq.com/ to watch videos of past conferences.
ConfRadar is a really nice to tool to find out about conferences. I am sure you'll find what you are looking for.
Just a list of conferences which I see useful http://lanyrd.com/topics/software-development/
Plancast just launched an O'Reilly section. Not exactly what you're looking for, but might be useful.

I saw this post :
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/441198/has-anyone-learned-how-to-program-in-21-days/441224#441224
and I'm not familiar with java APIs, which books do you think will really help me get familiar with those APIs?
Java in a Nutshell, David Flanagan
Java has lots of APIs! Which ones are you interested in becoming familiar with?
What's nice, though, is that Javadocs tend to make APIs easy to learn, by providing method signatures and short descriptions.
Many APIs also have more in-depth tutorials online that you can read. In many cases this can be easier / more accessible / cheaper than buying books.
I would start off with Java Collections, as they are used in most Java applications: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/collections/index.html
Note that this is one of Sun's "Trail" tutorials, which are very helpful. Check out the others as well, for those libraries that you are interested in learning. Here is the main index: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/index.html
Effective Java by Josh Bloch
You should really start at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/index.html
These tutorials are well written, and will get you up to speed quickly. For all the details, go to the documentation at http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/
If you insist on a book, Thinking in Java by Eckel is not bad, though Eckel can be a bit longwinded and obtuse.
Java Cookbook contains examples to many API's
Then javadoc can be used to adapt to own requirements.
Java 7- complete reference This books not out yet but it might help a lot along with the java docs and all the additional material the others have mentioned.
