Fixing a bug about using Eclipse 3.5 in Ubuntu 9.10

After upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10,

some buttons in Eclipse 3.5 failed to work using mouse click,

but it's fine using keyboard.

I googled for a while and found a workaround.

Just create a script and start your Eclipse using it.

And all the buttons should be working as usual.

#!/bin/bash

export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true

/path_to_your_eclipse/eclipse

Convert Ant projects to Maven

I have tried to convert some Ant projects to Maven.

Here's the steps using Eclipse and M2Eclipse:

• Right click on Project, choose Maven -> Enable Dependency Management
• Change project layout, add src/main/java, src/main/resources and src/test/java
• Set output folder to target/classes or target/test-classes in project properties
• Add pom.xml, and fix missing dependencies (You can use nexus or artifactory.)
• Run mvn install and see if everything works

cannot start Eclipse 3.4.2 on Ubuntu 8.10

Actually, it worked before but eclipse 3.4.2 suddenly failed to start this morning. I don't know what happened, so I just googled for the error message:

-------------------------------------------------------
org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: XPCOM error -2147467262
at org.eclipse.swt.browser.Mozilla.error(Mozilla.java:1638)
at org.eclipse.swt.browser.Mozilla.setText(Mozilla.java:1861)
at org.eclipse.swt.browser.Browser.setText(Browser.java:737)
...
-------------------------------------------------------

Then I found the solution on this blog

So I downloaded an older version of xulrunner (I use 1.9.0), unzip it to my local folder. I put the line below in my eclipse.ini file and my eclipse WORKS again~~

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/path_to_your_xulrunner/xulrunner

What's New in Eclipse 3.4 and MyEclipse 7.1

Here's a brief summary of what's new in Eclipse 3.4 and MyEclipse 7.1:

• use multiple core to build - save at most 30% of time (this is what THEY said...)
• has built-in support for subversion (but you have to install svn connector manually)

MyEclipse 7.1

• enhanced javascript debugger
• highlight paired HTML tag
• better ap server deployment

爬郊山的戶外裝備購買建議

本來是寫給朋友的信，
後來想想稍微改一下可以貼在 blog 上 :P
請注意，這是針對爬郊山的建議而已，
如果要爬百岳或許就不合適，
而且我也只是個初學者，
要是有寫錯還請多指教~~

========================================

這是裝備購買的建議，
先從一些基本的推薦起 :P

前提:

• 登山衣物價錢差異很大，根據品牌和材質不同，差好幾倍都很正常，建議先買比較平價就好，因為目前只是爬爬郊山而已
• 如果要去實體店家的話，中山北路和忠孝西路附近的台北山水和登山友這兩間店不錯，貨色齊全，價格合理(名牌當然還是很貴，但是不怕買到假貨，也不會被騙)。網路購物的話可以考慮高雄百岳，他們購物網站做的不錯。除非很有把握，否則儘量不要在拍賣上買，很多都是假的...
  

衣服: 先買件長袖的就好，一年四季都可以穿。百岳自有品牌的型或許沒那麼好看，但是c/p值蠻高的

褲子: 先買薄一點又排汗透氣的，這樣除了冬天之外，春夏秋三季都可以穿，Lafuma 算是蠻平價的品牌，我有買一件，目前為止很滿意

鞋子: Merrell 的不錯，不然其實一般運動鞋/慢跑鞋也可以

外套: 台灣賣的外套比國外貴不少。露天拍賣有個賣家不錯，價格比較便宜，但是貨色/款式/尺寸不是很齊，所以要碰碰運氣。這是他賣場裡的外套，買防風透氣的就夠了，不用買到太高檔的 :P
