A lil’ bit nerdy here. So if anyone does not like all that computer stuff skip to the LAST LINE. The trouble. It all started when I bought my first wireless router D-Link DIR 320. It looked fine. Started working in seconds and was pretty easy to configure. I was really happy but the I suddenly saw that I can’t reach my favorite finance site. Sites may be down, I thought....
I had a very ‘uncomfortable’ issue with Idea when using it for ant builds – it hang in certain places like jar update task, rename task or similar. All my struggle can be found on Idea track. Fortunately Carl Abramsson found a workaround for that issue using -noinput switch to ant launch. Now everything works like a charm. Decided to create this post in case some one will be desperately googling for a solution in the wrong place 🙂
Installed, played with it a bit… Looks nice 🙂 Among significant pluses(IMHO of course): smoother experience nice improved and thought out UI sms log deserves additional applause (clap)(clap)(clap) back(PC->phone) synchronization improved(both speed and reliability) working(at last) maps(NavTech) among things I miss: full control over the phone’s file system application install media(other then mp3) transfer But for those the are great news: Good ol’ PC Suite is not removed with Ovi upgrade 🙂 So you can still use it if you wish to… Generally Ovi is a much better tool for daily sync then PC Suite was....
Quite a time ago had to do this but had no time for posting a complete solution. Read a few articles on that so that I got the idea. Although it looks quite simple you might run into several configuration issues firing weird and long stacktraces. To get rid of those I’ll describe the way it worked for me with some additional comments. First of all lets assume we use JBoss app server....
Those of you who use devenv for building VS solutions(although you are discouraged to [here][1]) might get into trouble if your solution has more than 1 project and it takes quite a time building both. Today I had a problem with that launching VS build from inside an ant script – a standard windows crash appeared with 0xc000005 error code and a “friendly” Send/Don’t send error to Microsoft dialog. Also I noticed that the VS cl....
There are a few articles on the web describing how to load assemblies using reflection, thus allowing you to execute third-party code inside your own application. While applicable in most cases, my customer wanted those plugins to be replaceable on-the-fly. Keep mind that once an assembly has been loaded into an application domain it cannot be unloaded unless you unload the domain(which is you main app domain by default)=close the application....
Being a ‘mobile’ developer is definitely fun. Although sometimes, when you think about it ‘deeper’ you’d rather drink a pint of whiskey:). Take a look at the enterprise Symbian OS: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mobile/Symbian_OS_design_faults.aspx Reliable, huh? 😉 And it’s not just Symbian – in my point of view it’s MIDP itself. You just can’t rely on it unless you test, test and once again – test. For me it feels like implementation usually just do not care about about what does the specification say....
Now that I wrote lots of ‘bad’ stuff about this new community version – time to write something fine, as I really enjoy developing in this IDE. First of all I downloaded a new 90.193 version and noticed that UI issues are all fixed in it. Although my ‘more serious’ still reproduce this is something pleasant, indicating that the work is in progress and I’m sure all the other stuff will be fixed soon....
In my <span></span>[<span></span>previous pos][1][<span></span>t<span></span>][2] I described some minors that harmed my first impressions on this perfect IDE, but now that I used it for a week more serious things came along. First of all I’ve ran into an issue with ant Jar task. It refused to work with an ‘update’ option set to true. The interesting part of it was that executing the task independently didn’t cause any pain, but launching it in the sequence(multiple calls through different build scripts) caused ant to … hang....
Recently JetBrains [released the brand new version of IDEA][1] free for all. A few years before I Used this IDE for some projects and was very happy with it – consequent moving to eclipse disappointed me much. However time passed and I’ve got used to eclipse – it’s not a bad platform after all and it was free. So now when the free version idea came out I was very anxious convincing our customers to switch....
