Multi carets editing

NetBeans 8.2 is scheduled to be released end of summer 2016. One popular feature is called pin watches. During a debug session you may define several watches in the variable window to view the current content of a variable or value expression. With pin watches you may pin such a watch directly to the source code. Amongst others Geertjan described this amazing feature in his blog [1].

Today I’m going to describe another upcoming feature, which is yet available if you download a nightly build [2]: Editor Multicarets. Continue reading “Multi carets editing”

NetBeans 7.2 rocks

In the current iX 03.2012 you’ll find my article about new features of NetBeans 7.1. Beside lots of positive features , I mentioned one drawback: Sometimes project san during IDE startup takes a long time.

Using NetBeans 7.2, which is scheduled for 3.Q 2012, this will change: The scan is performed faster and running in background.

On the road to this release, version 7.1.1 is now available at netbeans.org.

Interactive book list

Its not really ready, the interactive book list containing my reviews. Anyhow, I decided to go online with a kind of preview: it-rezension.de. Developed as JSF-Application using NetBeans, I’ll report about the internals. The first of this series was my last article about a simplified language switcher. More will follow.

NetBeans contribution

Everybody has the ability to influence an open source project. All you have to do is to contribute. Not only source code, but bug reports, suggested enhancements etc.

Today I got this mail from the NetBeans team. And was astonished how much it had been for just one version. And ther is still more, targeted for NetBeans 7.2 version. Let’s go on 😉

NetBeans 7.1 and more

I blogged last article apx. 2 month ago. I announced an application which shall maintain my book list. At this time, the NetCAT game startet: Community members were requestes to test the upcomming version. It took a lot of my time and I could discover some bugs which had been fixed and could contribute some ideas for enhancements, especially for web development. Thanks to the NetBeans team, but also the community and the NetCAT team, the upcomming version contains richer functionality and gets more and more “round” due to little but helpful details.
The NetCat game is over now. NetBeans 7.1 will be published soon. And me, I’m going to continue on the announced project, as well as writing reviews and articles…

Tutorial web development (with JSF): Application “BookReview”, Part I

In my blog, I publish a list of those books, I wrote a review for. Every book will be displayed in a table with this information:

  • Title
  • Subtitle
  • Author(s)
  • Publisher
  • Year
  • Language
  • ISBN
  • Short text
  • Reference to my rewiew

These information is written manually and has to be maintained for every category and language. Changing the layout (if more than just CSS) will be a huge effort.

Now, I want to develop a multiligual application for publishing my booklist in an easy manner. One goal is to publish this information from a single soure in diverse categories and / or languages. Every book should be listet in the appropriate category just by assigning this category. The layout may change and should be maintained at a central place to be used for all books.
