NetBeans Server Plugins

Image
By
NetBeans 4.1 has built in support for Sun App Server and Tomcat 5.5. There is also a Server Plugins project for NB that adds support for JBoss 4, WebLogic 9 and WebSphere 6. The server plugins project is currently classified as experimental.

Currently the only way to try these plugins is to build NB and the required plugins – you can only download the source for them at the moment. Downloading and building is a easy process, albeit rather lengthy. Full details are given on the server plugins home page, but basically to download from CVS and build on Windows you need to do the following.

rem Create a directory to store and build NB in. 
mkdir netbeans 
cd netbeans 
  
rem Setup CVS 
set CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@cvs.netbeans.org:/cvs
  
rem login to CVS - no password required. 
cvs login 
  
rem download NB relase 4.1 source
cvs -z 6 co -r release41 -P stable 
  
rem download server plugins source
cvs -z 6 co -P serverplugins 
  
rem build NB 
cd nbbuild 
ant 
  
rem build JBoss plugin 
rem change into the weblogic9 or websphere6 directories 
rem and run ant to build these plugins. 
cd ../serverplugins/jboss4
ant

Once this is all done, there should be a netbeans/bin directory from which you can run the freshly build NB with the new server modules.

Starting up NB and selecting "Tools – Server Manager" allows you to now add a server instance for JBoss, WebLogic or WebSphere.

I tried building the JBoss 4 plugin and it integrated correctly with my JBoss 4.0.2 installation. I was able to create an enterprise app from within NB and deploy and run it successfully to JBoss 4 – all from within NB.

Creating a Joke Application in React

By
Introduction I've recently started learning React. I've been a backend developer for a long time, but have started to love doing client side work. As they say, the best way to learn is to practise. So here is a simple joke application that I've written in React. The source code for the application can be found on GitHub at: https://github.com/doobrie/react-joke Creating the project Whilst practising, I've quite often created projects from scratch, but this is quite tedious as the same steps need to be taken for each project. I needed to create the project structure, configure Babel, write some control scripts etc. Instead of doing that this time, I've used the create-react-app tool to scaffold the basics of an application. npx create-react-app This sets up everything that you need to get started with a React app. Coding As this is a simple project, I've created one react component, function app() . I've created this as a functional c...

Changing Default Search Provider in Firefox on Linux Mint

By
On Linux Mint, the default version of Firefox is installed and configured to allow the following search engines to be queried directly from the address bar: Yahoo! Startpage DuckDuckGo Wikipedia Mint defines these as the default available set of search engines based upon 3 criteria (funding to Linux Mint, privacy support and whether the search engine is non-commercial). Other search engines such as Google, Bing or Twitter, etc. can easily be added into the default version of Firefox however. To add a different search provider, browse to Search Engines At the bottom of the page, click on the icon of the requested search engine, then click on the ... button in the URL bar and select the Add Search Engine option. You then have the option to change the default search engine within Firefox preferences to your new choice.

The new Eclipse logo

By Anonymous
In a blog post today, Ian Skerrett has announced the new logo for Eclipse. Last fall we [The Eclipse Foundation] started a process to  update the Eclipse logo . The existing logo had not been change since Eclipse was launched and it was showing its age. I am happy to announce we have finished the process and am pleased to introduce the updated Eclipse logo. The new logo has a fresh modern look to it, which I think is a good improvement and will stand Eclipse in good stead for the future. The new logo will be included with the next Eclipse release train, Luna, and gradually rolled out across the Eclipse site and projects. What do you think?  Do you like the new logo?  Add your comments below.
