Hibernate is the most popular Persistence API

Image
By
A recent poll on java.net is currently showing that out of 1488 votes, Hibernate is the most common persistence API with 30.2% of the votes, whereas JDBC only has 11.3% of the votes.

Its interesting and encouraging to see the number of people using EJB3 persistence is 18.6% This is encouraging given the short time that EJB3 has been available and also the limited number of app servers that support EJB3.

I’m surprised (but pleased) that the number of people using JDBC is relatively low. There is often the impression that JDBC is easier to develop with than ORM solutions such as Hibernate or EJB3 – this isn’t something I generally agree with. Hopefully as Java Enterprise Edition 5 gets more traction, the adoption of EJB3 will increase and developers will see the benefits it (and other ORM solutions) provide.

A Simple Makefile for a GTK/GTKMM Project

By Anonymous
When compiling small applications, its fairly easy just to compile using g++ from the command line. If you’re compiling anything more complex than a single file, its probably easier to use a Makefile. This example Makefile demonstrates how to compile an application that uses the GTKMM library. NAME=my-app CFLAGS=-g -Wall -o $(NAME) GTKFLAGS=`pkg-config --cflags --libs gtkmm-3.0` SRCS=main.cc myapp.cc CC=g++ # Do all all: main # Compile main: $(SRCS) $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(SRCS) $(GTKFLAGS) # Clean clean: rm -f $(NAME) rm -f *.h~ rm -f *.cc~ rm -f Makefile~ rm -f *.glade~

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.
