Trialling NetBeans 6

Image
By
I’ve just installed the latest NetBeans 6.0 (M9) onto my Mac and I like all the new features.

The new Web Service Designer is pretty good although some have said that the UI does need sprucing up a bit.

The other main area thats improved (for me) is the editor. It seems a lot faster and I could quite easily use it all day.

I do have 2 issues though.

  1. Occasionally the editor will lock up and the cursor will vanish. The mouse still works, but whatever I do I can’t type anywhere. The only solution I’ve found is to close NB down and then start again. I imagine this bug will be fixed before version 6 is fully released.
  2. When running with GlassFish the editor is v e r y slow. Admittedly I’ve not got oodles or RAM on my machine, but I didn’t experience these problems with NB5.5. I’m not sure if this problem is because I installed the full (enterprise) NB or if its because of the new App Server supplied with 6.0.

Are there any memory settings that can be tweaked when starting up Glassfish from within NB?

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.
