RE: A couple of quick Eclipse tips

From James Strachan:

* there are various XML editing plugins available (X-men, xmlbuddy). Though for simple stuff, just enable the Ant plugin for all XML documents. The Ant plugin has a simple colour coded XML editor.

To enable it, open the Preferences window (Window -> Preferences) then go to Workbench -> File Associations. Then for *.xml add the Ant plugin association.

Nice! I've been wondering about that. Very cool - thanks James.

New Load Testing Tool for Roller

After reading Hani's comments about Freeroller's abysmal performance (which I agree does suck), I sent the following e-mail to Novosoft:

Any chance you'd like to donate a copy of your software to the Roller 
Weblogger open-source project (http://rollerweblogger.org).  We could
really use a stress-test tool like yours.  We're using it at my day 
job and it works great.

Their software is a load and stress testing tool that a co-worker discovered and it works awesome. At my day job, we know that if 17 users click on the same button at the precise same time, then Hibernate (or maybe it's Oracle) will throw a deadlocking error. We doubt that we'll ever get 17 concurrent users, so it's not an issue for us, but it's nice to know.

Anyway, their software is $250, which is a little steep for any open source project. However, I was delighted to find that they obliged my e-mail and sent me a license this morning!

Dear Matt, 

Thank you for your feedback and your warm words regarding our product!
We have decided to grant you registration key for our product WAPT 2.0. 

Sweet! Now I just have to find time to create these tests, or maybe one of the other Roller Developers has time?
