An Eclipse Nebula widgets primer

A quick guide to Eclipse Nebula's Grid, CDateTime, CompositeTable, PGroup and PShelf widgets

The Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT) provides access to the native widgets of an operating system via Java™ technology. However, the widgets available don't solve every need. The Eclipse Nebula project provides nine widgets to help answer common user interface (UI) programming needs. This tutorial demonstrates five of Nebula's nine widgets, including Grid, CDateTime, CompositeTable, PGroup, and PShelf.

SWT has long suffered from a lack of custom widgets that go beyond the standard ones provided. The Eclipse Nebula project was created as a gathering place for widget authors who wish to release their widgets under the Eclipse Public License and have them incubated in an official Eclipse project. It features some widgets, such as the CDateTime widget, that draw their own interfaces. It also includes widgets, such as CompositeTable, that let you use existing SWT widgets in new ways. In all, the Nebula widgets address areas that in the past have been major holes in the feature set of widgets available in the SWT API.

Serialize objects to XML and back again

XStream is a simple library to serialize objects to XML and back again.

Features

  • Ease of use. A high level facade is supplied that simplifies common use cases.
  • No mappings required. Most objects can be serialized without need for specifying mappings.
  • Performance. Speed and low memory footprint are a crucial part of the design, making it suitable for large object graphs or systems with high message throughput.
  • Clean XML. No information is duplicated that can be obtained via reflection. This results in XML that is easier to read for humans and more compact than native Java serialization.
  • Requires no modifications to objects. Serializes internal fields, including private and final. Supports non-public and inner classes. Classes are not required to have default constructor.
  • Full object graph support. Duplicate references encountered in the object-model will be maintained. Supports circular references.
  • Integrates with other XML APIs. By implementing an interface, XStream can serialize directly to/from any tree structure (not just XML).
  • Customizable conversion strategies. Strategies can be registered allowing customization of how particular types are represented as XML.
  • Error messages. When an exception occurs due to malformed XML, detailed diagnostics are provided to help isolate and fix the problem.
  • Alternative output format. The modular design allows other output formats. XStream ships currently with JSON support and morphing

Tutorial

A simple tutorial is also available at http://xstream.codehaus.org/tutorial.html

Adding Help Support to a Rich Client Platform (RCP) Application

Introduction

Online help can be added to an Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) application with a modest amount of effort by adding the plug-ins that comprise the Eclipse help system. The first section of this article discusses the benefits of integrating the help system into your application. This is followed by a tutorial which describes in detail the steps required to add help system support to a newly created RCP application while avoiding commonly encountered pitfalls. Finally we describe how to add context help and how to fine tune the settings of your help system.

Take a legacy path to advanced GWT controls

The Google Web Toolkit (GWT) provides libraries and tools that let you develop Ajax applications in the Java™ programming language. Unfortunately, GWT's standard gallery of UI controls (widgets) doesn't provide the advanced features that modern enterprise applications require. This article shows a technique that addresses this deficiency. Find out how to give GWT controls advanced functionality with relatively simple coding by integrating a popular JavaScript grid component with a GWT application.

Retargetable actions

The actions are defined as retargetable actions so that individual views can implement the handler actions. The BrowserView associates its handler actions with the window's retargetable actions when it creates the controls for the view:

FlashDen is a site where you can buy or sell royalty-free stock files for use in Adobe Flash projects. Files sell for between 1 dollar and 30 dollars depending on the complexity, quality and use of the file. Anyone is free to sign up for an account and begin trading or purchasing files.

Rich Faces

RichFaces is a rich component library for JavaServer Faces built on an advanced open source framework (Ajax4jsf). It allows easy integration of AJAX capabilities into enterprise-level business application development. RichFaces enriches the Ajax4jsf framework in two important ways. First, it expands the number of visual ready-to-use components. Secondly, it fully implements the skinability feature of the Ajax4jsf framework including a large number of predefined skins. Using skinability, it is much easier to manage the look-and-feel of an application.

UI Forms enhancements in release 3.3

The document is meant to enumerate various enhancements that will be available in Eclipse Platform release 3.3 from milestone 5. The readers are assumed to be familiar with Forms in general and have some working experience with them. If that is not the case, a good place to start would be Eclipse article: Eclipse Forms: Rich UI for Rich Client Applications as well as online documentation.

Most of the features listed in this document will be available in the integration builds leading to M5 and can be used with the caveat that there is a small change that APIs can change before they are frozen in the M5 stable build. We make these changes only if absolutely necessary and not without the prior warning on the mailing list.

Server2Go

Server2Go is a Webserver that runs out of box without any installation. That means it is a webserver that can run directly from cdrom, usb stick or from any folder on harddisk. Server2Go allows you to create a standalone working web site or PHP application on a CD-ROM. Server2Go was primary developed for the usage on CD-ROM but there is no problem use it from other drives too. Using a web browser, a user can run php programs as well as view html files on the CD-ROM. He only need to insert a CD with Server2Go under the supported Windows operations systems. The server starts automaticly and opens a browser with the Website of the CD-ROM.
Server2Go was build to replace a tool called WampOnCD that lacks some important features and isn't activly developed.

Server2Go supports PHP5, SQLite and MySQL.

Some Recipes to Improve Your Google Web Toolkit Development

from "JavaWorld":
According to Google's announcements on the GWT home page, GWT makes writing AJAX applications easy for developers "who don't speak browser quirks as a second language". Starting with version 1.3.RC in December 2006, GWT is 100% open source under the Apache 2.0 license; at the time of this writing we have version 1.3.3 as a stable release. The heart of the toolkit is its GUI library with the Java-to-JavaScript compiler, the asynchronous remote procedure call (RPC) and object serialization mechanisms, and the full debugging support for client and server-side code when working with an IDE like Eclipse or IntelliJ's IDEA

Flex MP3 Player Tutorial

Simple MP3 player tutorial at vipercreations.com

For this tutorial we're going to use the audioManager actionscript class from dhtmlnirvana to play all the sounds.

There are several ways you can do this, but this is probably the simplest.

What we are going to do is create a drop down box which is the song list. The data for the song list is got from an external XML file using an HTTP service.

When the user selects a new song from the dropdown box, the song that is currently playings stops and the new one begins. Our actionscript class knows which song to play using an internal array of songs.

Eclipse: Help Wanted: Test the new download page and packages

From Ian's blog

Something we would like to accomplish during the Europa release is to make it easier for our user community to download Eclipse. The existing download model requires you to start with the SDK and then start adding projects and features. However, for the millions of Eclipse users the SDK is a bit of overkill, if you are really just are using Eclipse as a Java IDE. Or if you want to use Eclipse as a C/C++ IDE it is not that obvious what to download when you visit our download page.

Free Web Designs for Download

An interesting article where author has collect web sites that offer free web design templates.
A visually appealing website design will not result in lots of recurring visitors if you don't have good content. In contrast bad, old-fashioned, or boring designs may well be accepted by a loyal readership if you have good content. To have both good content and a good design is invaluable.
