You Love Unity You Love Eclipse, A Love Triangle

You love unity you love eclipse, opps that's a a love triangle isn't it. Expect some conflict...

http://unity.ubuntu.com/

I have been using eclipse for about ten years, in fact I love the technologies it has most people never heard of or used, like EMF, Teneo, RAP. I developed a number of eclipse plugins, did a whole project using eclipse technologies discarding J2EE altogether. So I love it *almost* as much as I love my wife.


On the other hand I was a keen KDE user for a long time. But change is always good. And recently I had been seeing this person here, that person there using the kid on the block - unity desktop thanks to ubuntu.

A Maven Based Solution Towards J2EE Standardization

http://maven.apache.org/

By reading this post, you should already know that "WORA - Write Once Run Anywhere" motto of Java has today become "WODE - Write Once Debug Everywhere"

You all know J2EE has to be based on standards and unless you have the option to push or use the application server of your choice, you will always run into portability issues.

Recently I have been asked to port a currently-running-on-websphere application to JBoss. An guess what, had to spend considerable amount of time in every detail. This is thanks to a non-standard JNDI approach of J2EE, which still appears to be an issue with J2EE 6.

Due to fact that putting convention over configuration, maven has already run into hundreds of problems, which thanks to its highly modular design somehow survived with a solution. This time the solution came from resources plugin.

Amazon EC2 to Blogger

Dear All,

Due to the data loss in Amazon Ireland back in the summer, I decided to move my blog to a more professional service.

Unfortunately, Amazon EC2 has also corrupted my backup data, in other words a 5 years of blogging  has been lost.

While this suggests never give up on conventional data back-up methods, shame on you Amazon!

Thank you for your understanding...
