I tried to build Apache Tika 0.6 yesterday and I couldn’t build it because the tests failed. The failing tests were
testExcelParserFormatting(org.apache.tika.parser.microsoft.ExcelParserTest)

and the failure had to to with the fact that the locale was “es_ES” and the numbering format differs (“1.599,99” and not “1,599.99“)

Now I discovered that the HSQL db wasn’t been properly shutdown and for reasons that I’m investigating, if the HSQL db is not propertly closed (SHUTDOWN command) it’s impossible to reopen it again. It [...]
I’ve been doing experiments with JTables bound to database tables in the past. But I was not satisfied with the result to be honest. The pagination helps but there is still noticeable pauses each time a database query has to be issued. So I started looking into other possibilities.
I come up with the idea [...]
Apparently blinklist doesn’t export bookmarks to JSON format any longer and delicious has changed authentication scheme for its delicious API for new accounts (now it forces new users to use the OAuth / Yahoo ID). So the solutions described in this old post of mine doesn’t work.

It seems that source attachement for Library Wrapper Modules in Netbeans 6.8 Beta doesn’t work properly. I opened a bug report here https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=176800#c9 and it seems that in the process I also spotted that “Swing Layout Extensions” library definition that comes with NB 6.8 it’s also wrong (see https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=176800#c7)
