If you want to use more than 3GB of ram in ubuntu 9.10 32bit this blog entry is for you.
Project configuration and Ubuntu Linux steps required to deploy artifacts to the "Maven 2 repository for java.net projects".
Some tips about the first steps on using Sentilla Pervasive
Computing Kit on Ubuntu 8.04, including drivers and firmware troubleshooting.
In this blog, I describe how to create a portable Java development environment with the latest version of Ubuntu Hardy Heron on a USB flash drive.
Encumbents Red Hat ignore the tricky consumer desktop market, and focus on the enterprise. I don't blame them. Upstart Canonical focusses on the consumer desktop et al. So I wonder what the future holds for Canonical vs Red Hat. Now where's that blasted crystal ball of mine - darn thing must have rolled under the couch again.
The latest Alpha of Hardy Heron breaks all installed Java apps. Here's how to patch it to get back up and running.
Hey everybody,
I had lots of questions about my cell-phone bluetooth remote control when I was on the OpenFest and ApacheCON conferences. Before I explain what I was using to turn my Sony Ericsson GSM into a bluetooth remote control, I want to say that I have done this a lot of time ago and I don't remember much of it.
Actually it is pretty simple, and I haven't invented anything new....
I find something nice in feisty fawn (Ubuntu 7.04) without looking for it :-)
So the big news of the previous week was the availability of Java packages with the latest Ubuntu 7.04 (Faisty Fawn). I won't repeat what others already said, but now you can install Sun Java implementations with the standard Ubuntu tools for application maintenance (apt-get, Synaptic package manager, etc...). Now, what's the real benefit for us?
Long time Windows' user being tempted by the news about Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) ?
Let me show how you can try it without changing anything in your current machine configuration.
Have you ever spent hours trying to run 2 instances of Firefox on Linux, using command-line arguments (like
-ProfileManager) that *used* to work, but now simply open a window in the same Firefox process? If you did, this blog is for you...
Most Linux developers and sysadmins I talk to think JPackage is great, but repackaging Sun Java looks like mission impossible to them. So I created a shell script, that does everything you need to bootstrap your JPackage environment except for downloading Sun Java.
It's summer again, people have more time on their hand, and they think about switching operating systems. I'd like you to consider switching to Linux. It's not cool, but you get to enjoy freedom from crapware and forced upgrades, keyboard shortcuts, and great Java support. There is just one drawback. Unlike the Mac crowd with their distinctive-looking hardware, you'll need a garish Linux sticker so that the world can see you aren't running Windows.
As we know, Sun is relicensing the JDK for inclusion in Linux distros. This is a fantastic development for Java. In this blog, I muse about GPL'ing Java as "GlassFishBowl" and rigorously protect the Java trademark, so that Java still means "Java" as in the JCP, TCK, JEE, et cetera.
The Java.Net Community Corner in the Java One Pavillion will feature a few talks of special interest for Linux developers.
Sun itself is asking developers to test their apps with third-part JREs to ensure the Java platform remain compatible. But missing from his claim was the need to test them also with the many cleam room, open source software JREs out there, and the need to throw out references to non-standard, vendor-provided JRE classes from application code.
During the end of 2005 I had a customer who could not run a Java Applet on his desktops, despite having the latest update from Sun. And the desktops ran the fastest-growing OS and browser in the market today
Approximately in June or July of 2005, I started
weaning myself off of my powerbook G4, and learning
the Gnome environment under Ubuntu (v5.04, now v5.10).
Overall, it's been a terrific experience, and it's looking
like I've come here to settle down.
So I thought I'd summarize my experiences, from my perspective
as a Java software developer, and as a computer user in general.
The Good
Here...
