Windows x64 was giving me grief with Eclipse, and Java 1.6.21 was also giving me grief with Helios. So here are my recommendations: ...

During a recent class I taught on ICEfaces, one of my students asked me why the calendar was often one day off from what got posted back to the model managed-bean setter.
