I filled Bug 201116 – Compare will silently discard additional contentMergeViewers associated with the same file extension a couple of days ago. As Szymon Brandys says eclipse should allow the user to switch between the differente merge viewer available for a given extension. He proposes two solutions:
Having a mechanishm inside the compare view to do the switch or having a preference page to do the same I feel more inclined towards the second solution, as I’m used to change the defautl editor for .
My friend Manuel Couceiro have posted some photos of our holidays at Stockholm, Sweden.
I received some comments about my java compare plugin about my plugin ignoring preferences for text font and formatter settings. I didn’t address those at the beginning because I didn’t notice so as soon as I realized that was missing I put my hands at work.
The java formatter settings was easy just modifying the old
final Properties options = new Properties(); final CodeFormatter codeFormatter = ToolFactory .createCodeFormatter(options); with
final Map options = JavaCore.
I got the “avahi-daemon disabled because there is a unicast .local domain” but I have no .local domain so I was a little bit confused.
~$ sudo /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon restart * Restarting Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Daemon: avahi-daemon * avahi-daemon disabled because there is a unicast .local domain After a while I realized that my ISP is playing tricks with the DNS. It will never return a “DNS lookup failed”, it always resolve any dns name you pass to it.
I met some difficulties dealing with the default eclipse java compare. I got involved on a project where everybody likes to commit code to CVS formatted their way, so comparing between CVS revisions is almost impossible.
So I decided to start investigating about Eclipse plugin development to make a Java Compare Viewer that not only ignores whitespace but also all java formatting changes. The result is the following

First you need setuptools/EasyInstall:
cd $HOME/opt wget http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py mkdir -p $HOME/opt/easyinstall/lib/python2.4/site-packages PYTHONPATH=$HOME/opt/easyinstall/lib/python2.4/site-packages python ez_setup.py --prefix=$HOME/opt/easyinstall Next, trac:
cd $HOME/opt wget http://ftp.edgewall.com/pub/trac/trac-0.10.4.tar.gz tar xvzf trac-0.10.4.tar.gz cd trac-0.10.4 python setup.py install --prefix=$HOME/opt/trac cd .. rm -rf trac-0.10.4 cd trac PYTHONPATH=$HOME/opt/easyinstall/lib/python2.4/site-packages/:$HOME/opt/trac/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ bin/trac-admin $HOME/testtracenv initenv Then the xmlrpcplugin:
cd $HOME/opt wget -O xmlrpcplugin.zip 'http://trac-hacks.org/changeset/latest/xmlrpcplugin?old_path=/&filename=xmlrpcplugin&format=zip' unzip xmlrpcplugin.zip cd xmlrpcplugin/0.10/ PYTHONPATH=$HOME/opt/easyinstall/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ python setup.py bdist_egg cp dist/*.egg $HOME/testtracenv/plugins cat <<EOF >>$HOME/testtracenv/conf/trac .ini > [components] > tracrpc.* = enabled > EOF And now you can test your installation:
I’m working with Eclipse 3.2.2 RCP right now and I’m getting an exception that I want to display on screen. I found in the eclipsepedia that we must use ErrorDialog to report errors:
try { // ... } catch (InvocationTargetException e) { IStatus status = new Status(IStatus.ERROR, Application.ID, 1, "Exception found.", e.getCause()); ErrorDialog.openError(window.getShell(),"Error while loading file", null,status); } But using this code snippet will only print the e.getLocalizedMessage() in the Details pane of the ErrorDialog.
I run onto the following exception a couple of days ago:
Caused by: org.w3c.dom.DOMException: NAMESPACE_ERR: An attempt is made to create or change an object in a way which is incorrect with regard to namespaces. at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.dom.CoreDocumentImpl.checkDOMNSErr (CoreDocumentImpl.java:2421) the following log trace was also present in the log file
SEVERE: SAAJ0511: Unable to create envelope from given source Apparently I run onto a known java bug present in jdk1.5.0_08 up to jdk1.
If you got a lot of ill-named files like:
$ ls S01E03.The.Sopranos.S01E03.Denial.Anger.Acceptance.avi The.Sopranos.1x04.Meadowlands.avi The.Sopranos.S01E01.The.Sopranos.avi The.Sopranos.S01E02.46.Long.avi The.Sopranos.S01E06.Pax.Soprana.avi The_Sopranos.105.College.avi that your divx player can’t sort properly and you want to end up with something like:
$ ls 1x01.avi 1x02.avi 1x03.avi 1x04.avi 1x05.avi 1x06.avi you can use the following script in this way:
cd /path/to/avi/files ../script.sh|sh and if you want to do the same thing to srt files then:
cd /path/to/srt/files ../script.sh srt|sh As an example the script will normalize any of the following patterns S01E03, 103,1x03, or just 03 to 1x03.
I’m moving to Sweden soon and a friend of mine sent me the following link (in Spanish, sorry) about the salaries in different countries. From here, I learnt about Purchasing Power Parity and using the data from the IMF I obtained the PPP ratios from Spain, Sweden and other countries. Using this list you can translate how much worth is your money in other country. For example, roughly we can say that goods you buy in Sweden using 10000€ can be purchased in Spain for only 8058€.
