[TIBCO] BusinessWorks 6 Compress Plugin for TAR and GZ

Happy to announce the availability of the 1.2.0.FINAL version of the TIBCO BW6 Compress palette. It supports ZIP, GZ and TAR formats. This is developed in my free time and it's not endorsed, verified or supported by TIBCO in any way (yet?).

It uses Apache Common Compress library 1.9 with no modifications and it's packaged within the plugin.

Online docs are (temporarily) available at: http://digilander.libero.it/otacoconvention/archivi/TIBCO_BW6_Compress_plugin_doc/index.html and can also be accessed from BusinessStudio by selecting the activity and pressing F1 (requires internet connection).

I would urge anyone wanting to try this to take all necessary precautions even though the version number says FINAL

[Eclipse] [ApacheDS] Crash soup_session_feature_detach on startup

Older Eclipse versions might incur in the 968064 bug - note that there exists multiple reports of that for other distros as well - which prevents the application from starting up.

Upgrading to a newer version should fix the issue but there's a simple workaround. Just add in the eclipse.ini file this parameter to the JVM options:

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla

If using ApacheDS, the fix can be applied to the config/config.ini file by adding this line anywhere:

org.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla

[Eclipse] Comparison method violates its general contract error when updating

When installing updates in Eclipse, you may encounter the "Comparison method violates its general contract" error.

This may be related to a known bug in older Eclipse versions when using new JDKs (>6), I encountered it even using a JDK6 with latest Helios though. To fix it, try adding:

-Djava.util.Arrays.useLegacyMergeSort=true

in your eclipse.ini file, after the -vmargs flag, then restart Eclipse and run the update manager again.

[Eclipse] Slow update process

When installing updates via the Eclipse update manager, it sometimes takes forever to complete the update process, even for very small updates.

One cause may be Eclipse trying to contact all known sites when fetching updates. To avoid that, try adding:

-Declipse.p2.mirrors=false

in your eclipse.ini file, after the -vmargs flag then restart Eclipse. Alternatively, you can uncheck the "Contact all update sites" flag every time you run an update from the update wizard.

Delete SVN stored password from Eclipse

Assuming that you're using Eclipse on Windows with the Subclipse plug-in, to delete the SVN stored passwords you will have to either:

• delete it from %appdata%\subversion\auth if using JavaHL
• delete the .keyring file from eclipse\configuration\org.eclipse.core.runtime if using SVNKit. Then restart eclipse which will regenerate it empty
