note to self: get maven nature on projects in (my)eclipse

myeclipse: v8.6
plugins/ software:
mavensupport for myeclipse (m4e)
maven integration for eclipse (m2)

now, if a project wasn't "maven-enabled", i often had to manually edit the .project file to make it so, even with mavensupport installed.

but if you also install "maven integration for eclipse", you can right-click a project without maven nature and select "(m2) myeclipse maven -> enable dependency management".

a last piece of the puzzle seems to be needed - i think i enabled some advanced option in m4e (might even have been seemingly unrelated, like advanced tabs in pom).  but a coworker disabled m4e after installing m2 and then got the right-click option to enable maven for a project...

edit: it seems i only had to enter the maven settings (myeclipse -> maven), and then exit (apply).  without changing anything... then the "(m2) myeclipse maven -> enable dependency management" option emerged...

Script Junkie | How to Debug Your jQuery Code

• Firebug—Although many developers have used Firebug, I don't think that many understand the true potential of its debugging capabilities. If you know your tools inside out, you can become a more productive and efficient programmer. Note: If you aren't using Firefox, the Firebug Lite bookmarklet can come in handy to provide many of the nice debugging features of its Firefox add-on counterpart. I tend to use this bookmarklet primarily with Google Chrome.
• FireQuery—This Firefox Firebug add-on provides some nice features to Firebug, such as letting you see which jQuery events are attached to what DOM elements, displaying any data elements that are attached to a DOM element, and providing the ability to inject jQuery into Web pages that don't have it already loaded.
• FireFinder—This Firefox Firebug add-on can help you find the selector you are looking for. You can test the selector you have, and it will highlight all those items on your Web page.

SVN, Git

AMO = addons.mozilla.org team...

Moving away from SVN

We moved AMO into SVN in 2006 and it’s treated us relatively well. Somewhere along the line, we decided to tag our production versions at a revision of trunk instead of keeping a separate tag and merging changes into it. It’s worked for us but it’s a hard cutoff on code changes, which means that while we’re in a code freeze no one can check anything in to trunk. As we begin to branch for larger projects this will become more of a hassle, so I’m planning on going back to a system where a production tag is created and changes are merged into it as they are ready to go live.

Most of the development team has been using git-svn for several months and, aside from the commands being far more verbose, we haven’t had many complaints. We’ve discovered Git is a much more powerful development tool and we expect to use it directly starting some time next year. As of now, we expect to maintain the /locales/ directory in SVN so this change doesn’t affect localizers but we’ll keep people notified if there are any changes to that process.

so... should we consider Git instead of SVN?

production tag and merging stuff in when stable sounds like a nice process...

full import from cvs to svn / search svn history

you can try to import your CVS repository with all associated history into Subversion
.... is the most desirable and also the most difficult. Fortunately, some tools exist to help with this, including cvs2svn, a program that attempts to import your old CVS projects and their history into a Subversion repository. cvs2svn can be downloaded from http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/

Converting from CVS to Subversion

And search old code:

• http://svnquery.tigris.org/
• http://svn-search.sourceforge.net/
• http://opensolaris.org/os/project/opengrok/ (might work on cvs, too)
  
• http://supose.soebes.de/wiki/supose
  

This might make it easier to delete obsolete code without loosing access to the smart things you did there - if you should need to look at it again someday...

og litt om søk/ branch:

In the Agile development methodology, development activity on branches is a common scenario. Various features are developed in parallel for easier work environment. Hence different features will be developed on different branches.

• How many files are there in a particular branch?
• How many files intersect with other branches?
• How is my branch development rate?

tips: eclipse, plugin, refresh

eit lite tips dersom ein plugin ikkje vil trø i kraft...

Frequently Asked Questions - JUtils ToString Generator Plugin for Eclipse

# I installed the plugin properly but can't see it anywhere:
This can happen sometimes. All you have to do is close the IDE and start it using the -clean option from command line.

# How do I use the -clean option?
-clean is a command line switch for the eclipse.exe executable. To use this, you have to open your command prompt/shell and navigate to the Eclipse installation directory. From there, type either eclipse clean or eclipse -clean. That should start the IDE.

# How will the -clean option help?
Eclipse stores lot of workspace specific data in local file system for better performance. When a new version of some plugin is installed, it's quite possible that the new version is using the plugin specific data such as preference stores created by the older version. To clean this up and aid recreation of preference stores, the -clean option is recommended.

ting å vurdera: trac, ny mantis

dersom me vurderer svn: trac

The Trac Project - Trac

Trac is an enhanced wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects.
....
provides an interface to Subversion, an integrated Wiki and convenient reporting facilities.
....
A timeline shows all project events in order, making the acquisition of an overview of the project and tracking progress very easy.

kan også koplast (litt) til mantis...

Also, it's quite simple to write a plugin to redirect ticket references
to your legacy ticket system: e.g. mantis_tickets.py.

ny mantis - utvalg av nye features:

• Wiki Integration (#7075): This involves integration with a Wiki where issues, projects, project versions, and users have Wiki pages.
• project page
• Limit width/height of Image Previews (#6252)
  - It is now possible to configure the maximum width and height of an
  image preview. This is useful for keeping the issue readable when users
  attach big screenshots.
• Screenshots for Mantis (#7053)
  - This is not really a Mantis feature, but a plug-in was developed for
  the free Cropper screen capture tool to simplify the process of taking
  a screen shot, cropping it, compressing it and attaching it to a Mantis
  issue. This tool is for Windows users and requires .NET 1.1 framework
  to be installed.
