Java EE 7 Fixes Java EE 6's Absent Code

By Anonymous
In a recent blog post, Adam Bien, has shown how the upcoming Java EE 7 api fixes issues that were present when testing applications against Java EE 6.

In Java EE 6, applications could be compiled against the Java EE 6 api using the javaee-web-api Maven artifact. As the classes in the maven artifact however were just stub classes they only allowed compilation and would not allow a set of tests to run against the api's outside of the application server.  This would cause ClassFormatErors such as

Caused by: java.lang.ClassFormatError: Absent Code attribute in method that is not native or abstract in class

The fix for this issue was to compile and run tests against a 3rd party EE 6 api rather than the standard such as described on this tip.

Adam has shown that this is no longer the case in EE 7, and using the official javaee-api Maven artifact will enable testing to be performed against the EE 7 api as expected.

Thanks Adam for the tip !

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.
