Code quality is and will be a crucial factor while developing new software code, requiring appropriate tools to ensure functional and reliable code. Machine learning techniques are still rarely used for software engineering tools, missing out the potential benefits of its application. Natural language processing has shown the potential to process text data regarding a variety of tasks. We argue, that such models can also show similar benefits for software code processing. In this paper, we investigate how models used for natural language processing can be trained upon software code. We introduce a data retrieval pipeline for software code and train a model upon java software code. The resulting model, javaBERT, shows a high accuracy on the masked language modeling task showing its potential for software engineering tools.

The benefits of using XML to encode programminglanguage's source code have already been identified and XML syntaxes developed for this purpose. However, there is an absence of a systematic identification of the requirements that need to be met in order to fully leverage the potentials of XML and the key concept of the abstract syntax is being misinterpreted. Due to this the syntaxes have various deficiencies, a number of which are common to many of them. This paper clarifies the concepts, identifies these deficiencies, and proposes a new syntax for the java programming language which avoids them. The superiority of the new syntax is demonstrated by comparing it with two of the most relevant publicly available syntaxes with the same purpose.

The increasing popularity of the World Wide Web and the Internet has affected computer assisted learning that is now turning into web-based learning. Web-based learning can take place anywhere, at any time, through any computer and without necessarily the presence of human tutor. Mag is a tutor designed to be used by students in their first programming course. It provides three types of learning activity: tutoring, quiz-and-feedback, and on-line programming, to meet the needs of programming course. Student is provided with numerous JSP web pages for learning and testing the gained skills. Mag supports learning by practicing and learning by samples. It combines traditional programming experience with distance education. System provides learner with a more efficient and convenient way of taking a distance javaprogramming course. This article presents the technical and pedagogical goals of Mag, its principles of design and architecture.

This paper describes wildcards, a new language construct designed to increase the flexibility of object-oriented type systems with parameterized classes. Based on the notion of use-site variance, wildcards provide a type safe abstraction over different instantiations of parameterized classes, by using '?' to denote unspecified type arguments. Thus they essentially unify the distinct families of classes often introduced by parametric polymorphism. Wildcards are implemented as part of the upcoming addition of generics to the java™ programminglanguage, and will thus be deployed world-wide as part of the reference implementation of the java compiler javac available from Sun Microsystems, Inc. By providing a richer type system, wildcards allow for an improved type inference scheme for polymorphic method calls. Moreover, by means of a novel notion of wildcard capture, polymorphic methods can be used to give symbolic names to unspecified types, in a manner similar to the "open" construct known from existential types. Wildcards show up in numerous places in the java Platform APIs of the upcoming release, and some of the examples in this paper are taken from these APIs.

This research investigates the extent to which the practical application of robotics affects undergraduate computing students' engagement in learning the java programming language. Current literature suggests that the practical application of objects enables students to engage and understand concepts within engineering, robotics and computing disciplines easier than purely theoretical teaching methods. This research measures student engagement based on affective, behavioural, cognitive and performance engagement factors. Questionnaires, interviews and observations were exercised in order to explore the reasons that student engagement is affected. The findings suggest that the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® robotics are positively engaging students to learn the java programming language at an undergraduate level. Negative aspects, of limitations and non-participation, may be explained through external factors including the structure of the module and peer and social pressure. Copyright 2014 ACM.
