Just a small note: subshell will be present at W-JAX Java conference in Munich from Monday 15th till Thursday 18th November. Simon and I will participate in this conference to (hopefully) listen to some very interesting talks. Whereas I will arive on Monday for the "Agile Special Day", Simon will follow on Tuesday to join me. You can find more information about W-JAX on their website.

Publishing Webservices with Java 6 and Spring-WS
Lately I had to add a webservice interface to our XML importer component and so I was taking a closer look on some webservice frameworks. While reading several feature lists and technical documentations I came across this description of Spring-WS. Chapter 17.5.6 deals with using Spring-WS together with the Java 6 JDK webservice features, published in a build-in HTTP-Server. Because the attached code samples looked really simple, I decided to give it a shot.

Working with Eclipse, Maven and WTP
I spend several hours lately to get Eclipse Helios to work with Maven (m2eclipse plugin) and the Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP). I wanted Maven to resolve my dependencies for a web project and WTP to deploy my application on a Tomcat server automatically. Actually this should be managed by the "Maven Integration for WTP" plugin - but it doesn't ...

Eclipse Tip: Automatic Cleanup On Save
Probably not a new tip for everyone, but here's how to have the Eclipse Java editor cleanup your code whenever you save a file. In the preferences, navigate to Java > Editor > Save Actions, activate the checkbox "Perform the selected actions on save", and check anything you like. For example, the screenshot shows what to activate to never leave unused import statements behind.
I'd advise against using "Format source code" and "Remove trailing whitespace", though. While those sound nice in theory, they tend to irritate source code comparison for obvious reasons.

How to use JFace field editors in a custom dialog
JFace preference pages are easy to create using field editors. The are several editor types available, most consist of a label and one or two controls for displaying and changing a value. E.g., a StringFieldEditor consists of a label and a text field. Amongst others, there are editors for color, font, and a file path. Field editors can be created using one liners, their layout is managed by the FieldEditorPreferencePage. They work with a preference store to load and save data and have built-in validation. This saves a lot of code when building preference pages, but what about using them outside of preferences? This article will show how to use JFace field editors in a custom dialog.

Equinox p2 in your own RCP Application
With Eclipse 3.6 (Helios) the Equinox p2 API for update support of RCP applications becomes stable. Time to use it in your own application, but how?
The best documentation of how to use Equinox p2 is the article Adding Self-Update to an RCP Application in the eclipse wiki. Following that article I will describe the steps I had to do to use p2 in my application.
Update auf Eclipse 3.6 Helios
Möchte man seine Eclipse-Entwicklungsumgebung auf Version 3.6 (Helios) aktualisieren, kann man sich meiner Meinung nach eine Menge Arbeit (und Frust) ersparen, wenn man folgende Schritte beachtet.
- Ein Backup des "workspace"-Verzeichnisses anlegen. Dabei ist vor allem der Unterordner ".metadata" wichtig, der alle Einstellungen enthält. Zudem lohnt es sich den Ordner ".eclipse" im Benutzerverzeichnis zu sichern. Unter Windows 7 befindet sich dieser beispielsweise unter "C:\Users\Benutzername\.eclipse".
- Die neue Eclipse-Version in einem separaten Ordner entpacken und nicht drüberkopieren. Es bietet sich beispielsweise an, den alten "eclipse"-Ordner in "eclipse_alt" umzubenennen und dann die neue Version im "eclipse"-Ordner abzulegen. So bleiben auch alle bereits angelegten Verweise erhalten.
- PlugIns neu installieren. Dabei die Plugins einzeln installieren und nach jedem Installationsvorgang die Entwicklungsumgebung neustarten. Bei mir traten beispielsweise merkwürdige Effekte auf als ich versucht habe, das Maven-Integration-PlugIn (http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/) und Subclipse (http://subclipse.tigris.org/) gleichzeitig zu installieren.
