I had a lot of things to blog during the past 3 months but I just couldn't get myself to write any of them online. Well, since I've been using the Visual Studio.Net immediate window a lot lately so I thought it would be useful for fellow eclipse users to know that an equivalent tool exist in...
I was encountering the error below everytime I tried to invoke a WS client in RAD7. I was calling the WS through a console application using a generated client stub. Deployment error: java.io.IOException: FATAL ERRORS encountered by WSDL2Java tool. at com.ibm.ws.webservices.wsdl.Parser.generate(Unknown...
I wanted to start learning Eclipse RCP (Rich Client Platform) and was following a tutorial here , but I was already stuck on the first step (getting started). Friend google made me find this , and this . Basically, I didn't install the RCP plugin and to quote from those two links: Lots of people...
I'm very sensitive on how I know my variables when I program and the most I'm very careful with is naming boolean variables. So I was trying to create a new variable inside of Eclipse and I'm not used to naming my boolean vars like isNew, isAllowed or isValid but instead I know them new,...
I'm currently maintaining an application built on Websphere 5. It's such a shame that once you select a default workspace, there would be no option inside the IDE to switch workspace(RAD7 and plain old Eclipse has this). Luckily, I had a friend who already experienced this kind of problem and...
We downloaded our project from JDK 1.5 to JDK 1.4. The step would obviously bring out some issues and the most annoying one I've come to experience so far is when I couldn't open my ejb-jar in the deployment descriptor editor. The solution was quite tricky. In RAD7, I had to go through the "Resource"...
I was whining why RAD's automatic code(and browsing) completion for HTML and XML tag sucks. I approached my team lead and told him about it. I told him that Netbean's and Eclipse's WTP plugin did it way better. He smiled and told me to press CTRL + Enter and I got shocked in amazement. :...
It's my first time to use SVN. It's funny how I first got acquainted with Visual Sourcesafe than this opensource tool. I think Most Java developers would typically get involved in SVN than VSS. But now though, I'm quite happy learning about SVN. It wasn't very hard to set it up with my...
Note: I've done the following using Rad7 but should also be applicable to Eclipse(since RAD7 is basically made on top of Eclipse). When you have total control of you web container/app server, deploying jar files is as easy as dropping the folder in your common lib folder. If you don't package...
...and it has pure Ruby goodness tied into it ! I think I'm going to wash my .NET hands today with Neatbens SOAp enhancements . Congratulations to the great folks from NetBeans ! You definetely nailed it this time. From their official press release : The focus of NetBeans IDE 6.0 is superior developer...
I am intrigued by how Eclipse shocked the Java world with its IDE. Today, Eclipse is the most well-known opens-source IDE. IBM, together with other IT companies such as Redhat, Suse, TogetherSoft plus a bunch of kick-ass open-source developers made the initiative successful. Eclipse is now well-known...
