some personal, more technical – by Thomas Einwaller
As I stated out in one of my last posts I am using cygwin a long time now and I am using it more and more within the last months. This is mainly caused by switching to git as my new favorite source code management tool and using maven for every Java project I am [...]
As I tweeted I registered for this years coding contest hosted by the Catalysts at the JKU. It was a great experience and I will try again next year because I am not satisfied with my result.
I started very good and reached the third level first but then I misinterpreted the specification and worked more [...]

1 May 2009In one of my projects I am using a content repository to store the data.

I am using trac now since about half a year for one of my current Java projects. One thing I missed from the start was the Mylyn integration in Eclipse – with bugzilla I was used to handle most of my issue tracking inside Eclipse. If you get used to this kind of “task oriented” [...]
Today I encountered the problem that every time I started one of my Eclipse workspaces it always started to build the workplace and could not finish it. The progress monitor showed additional tasks waiting but I could not stop them. After killing the Java VM process several times and starting up again I searched for [...]
In one of the applications I am currently working on I am using the following combination:
Eclipse IDE with AJDT
Spring
Maven
This week I upgraded Spring to version 2.5.5 and had some troubles with compiling my aspects in the maven build.I always encountered the following error message when trying to compile my project:
Unable to continue, this version of [...]
