AppFuse won't work with J2EE 1.4 Final
I don't know why, but AppFuse's MailUtilTest won't run with J2EE 1.4 Final. It works fine with 1.4 Beta 2.

Upgraded to Roller 0.9.9
I upgraded this site to Roller 0.9.9-dev about an hour ago. Seems to be humming along quite nicely - and the GZip Filter is back in action (wasn't working before I upgraded). There looks to be a few issues to iron out still, but since I was able to figure them all out - I'm pretty darn happy with this release.
- oscache.properties is missing from CVS
- a bunch of the editors had leftover (?) taglib declarations - I replaced them with an include to /theme/taglibs.jsp
- the value in Website > Config > Site Name shows up where "Home" used to - I had to rename my site to "Home" to maintain my same menu selections
- there's a lot of SQL (or HQL) logging going on that I can't turn off
- bookmark display macros are broken - you'll need to change the name of your bookmark names (in the macros) to have a /root/ prefix. For example, #showBookmarks("Articles" true true) -> #showBookmarks("/root/Articles" true true)
Hope this helps any early adopters...
My Favorite Eclipse Plugins (Download v1.0)
When I go to new clients, I either have to install Eclipse, or help others configure Eclipse with cool plugins. So I made my own download of my favorite Eclipse plugins. If you want it, download version 1.0 from SourceForge. It includes the following:
- XMLBuddy (http://www.xmlbuddy.com
) - XML Editor
- Colorer (http://colorer.sourceforge.net) - General Syntax Highlighter - for JSPs, HTML, CSS, etc.
- Jalopy (http://jalopy.sourceforge.net) - Source Code Formatter
- Lomboz (http://www.objectlearn.com) - JSP Editor
- JSEditor (http://jseditor.sourceforge.net) - JavaScript Editor
- Easy Explorer (http://easystruts.sourceforge.net) - Open Explorer/Finder
- Tomcat Launcher (http://www.sysdeo.com/eclipse/tomcatPlugin.html) - run and debug Tomcat
Installation: Unzip to where ever you have Eclipse installed. I use c:\Tools\eclipse on Windows.
I don't really use XMLBuddy because it doesn't allow spaces (only tabs), but I suppose it's better than nothing. The built-in Ant Editor has the same behavior (tabs only). I'd love to find a plugin that gives code-completion for XDoclet when typing JavaDocs, but I couldn't find one. Sure, there's JBoss-IDE (which is just a bunch of Eclipse plugins), but that only has jboss-specific tags - no @hibernate, no @struts.
NOTE: Many of these plugins didn't work on Eclipse 3.0 M5, so I reverted back to M4.
OS X Users: Jalopy and Colorer don't seem to work at all for me (M4). You'll need to change Easy Explorer from "explorer.exe {0}" to "open {0}" in Window > Preferences > Easy Explorer.
These are all the latest versions as of November 26, 2003.
Unix Utils for Windows
If you develop on Windows, and you use Microsoft's "cmd" to run Ant or compile your classes - you really should install Cygwin - it's much easier and provides the same functionality as cmd. Even better, Dan sent me an e-mail (can't find it now) about UnxUtils - Native Win32 ports of some GNU Utilities. You can even download an executable to install it. I dig it - symlinks that actually work on Windows.
