Eclipse 3.1 released!

Eclipse reached 3.1 today after a bunch of Release Candidates. I’ve been running the beta’s and RC’s for some time now, since I need the JDK 5 support.

Go download right away!

Newline problems with Subversion

On my current project, developers work from Linux and Windows together, and we ran into the following problem when trying to commit from Eclipse:

Commit failed (details follow): svn: File '/home/pal/workspace/proobox/build.xml' has inconsistent newlines

Well, someone else already had this problem, and the solution was to remove the keyword svn:eol-style from the file in Subversion.

In Eclipse, select Team/Show Keywords and remove the keyword, in command prompt:

$ svn proplist -v build.xml
Properties on 'build.xml':
svn:keywords : author date id revision
svn:eol-style : native

$ svn propdel svn:eol-style build.xml
property 'svn:eol-style' deleted from 'build.xml'.

Your now ready to commit, and problem is solved! :)

SF.net pass 100,000 projects, gets a facelift

SourceForge is the de-facto home for a whopping 100,000 F/OSS projects, and is a place you visit, if not daily, then at least weekly if you are at all involved with software development, and especially if you’re into F/OSS at all.

Now, they have finally completed their new statistics system (which they should’ve done years ago, oh well), and they celebrate breaking the 100,000 project milestone by launching a new graphic design for their frontpage (and by introducing a new, massive ad-space).

Go have a look, you might find a new project to look into!

Google 2014?
