EJB 3.1 Support in JBoss 6.0M2 – Building JBoss

JBoss recently announced that initial support for EJB 3.1 will be available in the upcoming JBoss 6.0 M2 application server.

At present, the EJB 3.1 functionality supported is:

  • developing EJBs without declaring interfaces; and
  • deploying EJBs in WAR files

Since JBoss AS 6.0 M2 isn’t currently available, the best way to get it to try out this new finctionality is to check the source out from the JBoss Subversion repository and build the application server.

Building JBoss AS 6.0 from the trunk is very straightforward to build. To checkout and build the code, you need to have Subversion and Maven installed on your development system.

The code can be checked out from the anonymous JBoss Subversion repository:

svn co http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/trunk

After checking out (which may take up to an hour or more), the source can be built using the build/build.bat (build/build.sh) command or by using Maven.

> cd trunk\build
> mvn clean install

After about 10 minutes or so, you should have a snapshot build of the upcoming JBoss 6.0. The distribution is placed in the build\target\jboss-6.0.0-SNAPSHOT directory.

> cd target\jboss-6.0.0-SNAPSHOT\bin
> run.bat

A Simple Makefile for a GTK/GTKMM Project

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

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.
