Thursday - July 05, 2007Importing a WOLips Project into Subversion RepositorySimple tutorial on how to do an initial import of
an existing WebObjects project into a Subversion repository using the Subclipse
plugin. At time of writing I had latest subversion (1.4.4) and subclipse (1.2.3)
installed.
Thursday - July 05, 2007Setting up Subclipse for access to a Subversion RepositoryThis is pretty simple task, but for completeness
of the Subversion articles I am doing, here it is .........
Thursday - July 05, 2007Setting Up Subversion Repository on OS XSubversion is becoming more popular than CVS over
time as a source code version control system. Subversion is impressive in it's
design goals and from the outset, it's goals and objectives appear to be very
well thought out. Subversion is flexible and repositories can be made available
in many flexible ways from as simple as a repository on your local hard drive to
internet based repositories served over http or https
protocols.
For this exercise we show how to set up a simple repository on a network server with secure shell access. The requirements of the repository are accessibility by a small stable development team of 3 trusted inhouse developers with a need to update and commit remotely outside of the local area network. The requirement for tunneling repository traffic over ssh is simply to protect the small amounts of sensitive data such as API pins or private SSL keys that are shared by the repository. Also keep in mind that there are many, many ways to set up a Subversion infrastructure. This is just one way that suits my needs and is based on the concept explained in the Subversion book in the section SSH configuration tricks . There are other ways and variations that may suit your needs better. This article assumes that you have a basic knowledge of unix command line usage...

and I had trouble figuring out how to set up the physical folder structure on
the hard drive and the group structure in XCode so that XCode would not change
its mind about where it expected the java files every time I tried to build the
app. Ray Kiddy
had the know how .......... here is a transcript ........
Tuesday - November 21, 2006EOGenerator - Referencing Prototypes in a different EOModelToday when I ran my eogenerator script, I got an
error ... it has been over 10 days since I needed to run eogenerator on my
project, so I had obviously done something. After getting over the few seconds
of that uneasy feeling in your stomach at the thought of losing productivity (I
was in the developer coding rapidly zone .... and now I had a derailment to deal
with) fixing a problem on something that has always worked reliably up to
now.......

use development tool to monitor HTTP (or any other TCP port)
activity.
Monday - December 27, 2004Crash Course in 'vi' Text EditorI prefer to use BBEdit for text editing, but
sometimes you are remotely logged into a server using ssh and you don't have a
GUI while other times you have a big file with extremely long lines (big SQL
statements from a sql dump for example). I love pico for editing small simple
files (watch out .... it does not work with long lines) and recently I like
using vi for simple edits to unix files. In any case, I use these only when I
have to so I don't want to read a book on vi when mostly I just need to navigate
and search/replace and save for example.....
Tuesday - November 16, 2004Quickstart Guide to using Log4jLog4j has become a standard for logging. It is
simple enough to use at the basic level and yet, the granularity of logging can
be increased or decreased easily with adjustments to the logger configuration.
Enough said, see here quickstart meaty details for using log4j in your
WebObjects app....
