Spring Live ~ Weblog: "The current latest version of Equinox (version 1.6) uses Maven's standard directory layout - so that might be quite a change for users. However, none of the Ant targets have changed, so users should be able to use the same commands they've been using in previous chapters."
The Trac Project - Trac: "Trac is an enhanced wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects. Trac uses a minimalistic approach to web-based software project management. Our mission; to help developers write great software while staying out of the way. Trac should impose as little as possible on a team's established development process and policies... Good Starting Points:
- TracGuide -- Starting point for Trac documentation.
- TracFaq -- Frequently asked questions.
- TracDownload -- Trac is open source software, available for download,
- ChangeLog -- Recent changes between Trac releases,
- MailingList -- Join the mailinglist for user and developer discussions,
- TracProject -- Learn more about the project and get involved (see also, HowToContribute),
- RoadMap -- The proverbial road ahead.
- TracTeam -- It's their fault - well not really.
For a complete list of available wiki pages, see TitleIndex."

Andreas Schaefer's Blog: RE: File Access in EJB: "As Simon Brown pointed out the J2EE specification restrict you to access files on the file system but sometimes you have to and then you need to control the damage by keeping the breach of the specification local and not to spread it all over your code. Being confronted with this question just recently I came up with these solutions:..."

Jasper and Open Reports - Brian Burridge on Internet Development: "In the end we compared Crystal reports with Jasper Reports, and Jasper was picked. Jasper is not only free, but also is proven in the Java world, and has a lot of users... Once Jasper was chosen, I tested several GUI’s to help build the reports instead of editing them strictly in their native XML. JasperAssistant was found to be the best of all of them, and integrates seamlessly with Eclipse... Next, I looked into Open Reports. Open Reports is a front end for Jasper Reports. It was written in WebWork, and provides a lot of functionality that you would have to write yourself to get the reports running on the web. It comes with basic security (users, passwords, and reporting groups). You can assign which users can access which groups, and which reports are in which groups. You can also add parameters, and then assign them to a report. You create the report in JasperAssistant (or with any other tool, including a text editor if you want to do the XML by hand), and then compile it (which JasperAssistant does for you). Then when you add a new report to Open Reports, you select which Jasper file to use, select your datasource, assign your parameters and the report is ready to be used on the web."

Apache Ant - Frequently Asked Questions: 'junitreport' doesn't work with JDK 1.5 but worked fine with JDK 1.4: "While JDK 1.4.x contains a version of Xalan-J 2, JDK 1.5 (and later?) have moved to XSLTC. Since this task uses Xalan's redirect extensions for its internal stylesheet, Ant prior to 1.6.2 didn't support XSLTC. This means that you have to install Xalan-J 2 in order to use this task with JDK 1.5 in older versions of Ant. Starting with Ant 1.6.2 'junitreport' supports JDK 1.5."

DVD burning - Ubuntu Forums: "dvdbackup -i /dev/dvd -M -o dir/ - This will backup the whole DVD movie with extras and menus, etc. You might want to have a Dual layer burner for this too... After it finishes this then insert your blank DVD disc into the drive and type from terminal: growisofs -speed 1 -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvdrw -dvd-video dir/... There are several ways: 1. install vobcopy. And use it like: vobcopy -m and that copies the content of the entire dvd (without encryption) on you're harddisk. Burn it on a DL dvd with K3b 2. use xdvdshrink: google for the .tar.gz. It works very good, although it was made for Mandriva. 3. Use Wine of Crossover Office with dvdshrink (windows)" & DVD Backup Script & DVD-R Tools - Trac: "dvdrtools is a fork of cdrtools, with the primary goals of remaining 100% Free Software (dvdrtools is a fork of the last version of cdrtools without any 'you are not allowed to modify this section' comments), and adding support for DVD-R/DVD-RW drives and media."
dev2dev Editor's Blog: Check out the webinars!: "In the Article GraphicArticles this week we have Using JMS Clients to Utilize Free Computer Resources. In this article, Nimish Doshi proposes using JMS to distribute work to underutilized computer resources. He presents two solutions, one of which uses WebLogic Workshop and WebLogic Integration to control the workflow of job distribution... In the Blogs this week, Michael Hart shows how to Connect WebLogic Domains with JMS. He writes about their use of the Foreign JMS Provider, and how identical naming of their file stores and servers caused transaction commit problems."

NAS | Tom's Networking: Review: Anthology Solutions Yellow Machine Terabyte Storage Appliance: "But even as a NAS, the Yellow Machine fails to match up to RAID competion like Buffalo's TeraStation and Infrant's ReadyNAS due to its missing print server, inability to connect to USB-based storage devices and missing support of user file access via FTP and HTTP" & HeadToHead: Infrant ReadyNAS 600 vs. X6 & Review: Buffalo Technology TeraStation & Interop 2005 Las Vegas - Better than Expected: "SC101 Storage Central that will mark NETGEAR's re-entry into the networked storage market. It will ship 'naked' with two empty 3 1/2 inch IDE hard-drive slots and the drives can be set for RAID-0 striping or RAID-1 mirroring... Bell Micro showed off a protoype of their Hammer series NAS device. This compact box has four SATA slots and automatically does RAID5 if you populate all the slots and RAID0 if you pop in only two drives." & Ximeta NetDisk reviewed: "If you think of the NetDisk as an external USB 2.0 drive that can also connect to your computer via Ethernet and don't mind paying a premium, you'll probably be happy with your purchase. But if you're looking for a NAS box at a bargain price, you won't find it in this product."
