I am incredibly honored to be the recipient of the INETA Community Champion Award – the annual recognition for those who contribute notably to the Microsoft developer community.

m2eclipse Doxia editor

danhaywood — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 05:43:09 +0000

Just rebuilding Eclipse and thought I’d upgrade to the latest version of m2eclipse. However, it would seem like the latest version has dropped support for the Doxia editor (used for editing APT files), at least while they get ready for a v1.0 release (see this forum posting from Jason van Zyl).

Customizing EclipseLink JPA-RS Messages with MOXy

bdoughan — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 05:19:22 +0000

In a previous post I covered how EclipseLink JPA-RS can be used to expose a JPA persistence unit as a RESTful service. In that example we interacted with the default message formats. Since JPA-RS leverages MOXy for its XML and JSON binding we can use MOXy to customize the messages. In this post I will demonstrate how this is done. Preview Text: ...

Introducing EclipseLink JPA-RS

bdoughan — Sat, 20 Apr 2013 05:27:51 +0000

In a previous series of posts I covered how to create a JAX-RS service that leveraged JPA for the persistence layer. EclipseLink contains a component called JPA-RS that can be used to easily and automatically expose a persistence unit as RESTful service (that supports XML and JSON messages). MOXy provides the XML and JSON-binding for JPA-RS and things like bidirectional mappings...

Eclipse Tips: Using the Source Menu

danhaywood — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 05:21:54 +0000

Everyone knows – or at least suspects – that most of the Eclipse goodies live under the Refactoring menu. However, there’s also a lot of goodness under the Source menu too.

Eclipse at GitHub

wayner42 — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 12:24:01 +0000

Almost all Eclipse Git repositories are mirrored at GitHub. The mirrors were initially set up two years ago by the nice folks at GitHub with relatively little input from us. I provided a simple script–which lists all of our repositories in very simple CSV format–that was used to create the original set of mirrors and is occasionally used to update the mirrors.

My Development Setup... Working with an Android Tablet!

bergie — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 07:24:22 +0000

As mentioned in my post Hacker-nomad's toolkit, 2012 edition, the lease period of my lovely — Linux-driven — 11" MacBook Air expired this month, and I had to consider what kind of gear to go with next. The safe bet would've been to just get a newer version of the Air, or maybe the 13" Retina MacBook with its great screen. Preview Text: If...

While many projects have claimed success with Git, a great many projects and developers continue to struggle with its adoption. In the fall of 2012, several projects chose to terminate rather than migrate their CVS repositories to Git. We have infrequent reports of commits being erased and general confusion regarding the workflow. While EGit does a good job of smoothing out the rough corners,...
