Who doesn’t know them. The good old JFace dialogs in Eclipse that give you a visual representation of what is really a rather simple XML or properties file. In the case of m2e, it looks like this: Unfortunately, this screen is a bit slow to load, and it doesn’t offer much value beyond checking version … Continue reading Use This…

You wouldn’t believe it until you try it yourself. I’ve been using the Eclipse Mars developer milestones lately, and I’ve been having some issues with slow compilation.

Some things are just very very very VERY very important. Such as John Cleese. The same is true for Whitespace: Yes. 1080 Reddit Karma points (so urgently needed!) in only 23 hours. That’s several orders of magnitudes better than any of our – what we wrongfully thought to be – very deep and interesting technical … Continue reading Top 10…

Für mein aktuelles Projekt setze ich u.a. JPA/EclipseLink, Maven und Spring. Damit der Build-Prozess von Maven und das automatische Deployen in den Tomcat-Container von Eclipse funktioniert, musste ich ein paar Änderungen an der .settings/org.eclipse.wst.common.component durchführen: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project-modules id="moduleCoreId" project-version="1.5.0"> <wb-module deploy-name="YourProject"> <wb-resource deploy-path="/" source-path="/src/main/webap

Back in my February 2004 Developer Day slides, I promoted the idea of using Eclipse to create a XUL application builder, with direct-manipulation graphical layout construction and editing, project management wizards, etc. Although a few people expressed interest and even did some hacking (the MozCreator project being the most conspicuous example, although not Eclipse-based), no … Continue reading "OpenLaszlo and…
