Create executable jar package with dependencies

In: Java|Software

28 Jun 2010

Lately I wrote myself some small GUI tools using Groovy’s SwingBuilder. To “install” them in my system I wanted to create a single JAR file containing all the required dependencies. Using the following maven plugin configuration it was very easy to achieve that: <plugin> <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <archive> <manifest> <mainClass>fully.qualified.MainClass</mainClass> </manifest> </archive> <descriptorRefs> <descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef> </descriptorRefs> </configuration> [...]

Issues with Mylyn and JIRA 4.1

In: Eclipse|Java|Software

17 May 2010

Two weeks ago I updated our internal JIRA to the latest version 4.1 which provides some nice UI improvements especially in the detail view of issues and image attachments. Unfortunately since the update I am not able to use the Mylyn connector inside my Springsource Tool Suite with JIRA. When I try to update an [...]

Equals and HashCode and Hibernate

In: Java|Software

15 May 2010

In one of my current consulting projects the topic of implementing equals and hashCode in Hibernate domain model classes was discussed again so I decided to write down how I deal with that in my projects. First I encourage every Java developer to read chapter 3 of Effective Java from Joshua Bloch – which is [...]

Using twhirl with StatusNet

In: Blackberry|Software|Windows

31 Mar 2010

Yesterday I installed StatusNet as our internal microblogging system at troii. I was very happy to see that it works very well with the tools I already use for my twitter account: ÜberTwitter on my BlackBerry and twhirl under Windows. Configuring ÜberTwitter with our StatusNet installation was very simple, I just had to select MDS as [...]

Problems connecting with jconsole to linux jvm

In: Java|Linux|Software|Windows

14 Mar 2010

Lately I had problems configuring the JMX remote management for tomcat servers running on Ubuntu linux servers. After configuring everything necessary like the com.sun.management.jmxremote JVM parameters and the password files I still got connection errors when trying to connect from my Windows system to the server via jconsole. I found this bug entry for the [...]

In: Software|Windows

11 Feb 2010

I am just preparing our Windows 2003 Small Business Server to be upgraded to Small Business Server 2008. Therefor I tried to install the VMware converter tools to convert the old server to a virtual machine before upgrading it. My problem was that the installer always complained about not being able to start the converter [...]

Since some days the ORF (the Austrian national public service broadcaster) started his video on demand site http://tvthek.orf.at/. I found it quite nice but to make use of it I had to install the Windows Media Player Firefox plugin otherwise it did only work in the Internet Explorer. Another problem my grandma had with it [...]

Installing BlackBerry Desktop Manager under Windows 7

In: Blackberry|Downloads|Software|Windows

11 Nov 2009

Yesterday a friend of mine told me that he received an error message while trying to install the BlackBerry Desktop Manager 5.0.1 under Windows 7 64 Bit. I told him that the Desktop Manager installed and runs correctly on my system (which is the same) so we tried to find out what caused his problem. [...]

Windows 7 Ultimate backup failed

In: Software|Tools|Windows

27 Oct 2009

I was happy the first time I used the built in backup feature of Windows 7 RC1. It was a very easy tool that allowed me to backup my whole system (or just selected partitions) to another external disk or a network share. Today I tried to backup my current Windows 7 installation before updating [...]

Android development and the HTC Magic

In: Eclipse|Software|Windows

20 Oct 2009

Some weeks ago I tried to install the android client of our time tracking system timr on my HTC Magic using Eclipse. Normally the Android Debug Bridge (adb) recognizes connected Android phones and the dialog in Eclipse allows you to select on which device you want to install the application you are trying to debug. [...]
