Solr's Lucene Source
I’m debugging a plugin for Solr. I’ve just about got the magic voodoo set up so that I can make Eclipse talk to tomcat and stick breakpoints in and so on. But I’ve immediately run into a problem. Even though … Continue reading
Using a Java 6 based Eclipse with Cocoa
This is somewhat niche, but I’m going to post it anyway in case it helps somebody else⦠I recently saw a problem with Eclipse and m2eclipse. When I tried to import a Java 6 based project, I got an error … Continue reading
Responsiveness
Yesterday, whilst trying out Eclipse 3.5, I noticed a problem with the new XSLT support. So, I filed bug 279793 (All XSLT 2.0 has validation errors in xslt-2.0.xsd). I got a response in under 30 minutes, including a workaround and … Continue reading
Eclipse 3.5 in Cocoa
I’m just trying out Eclipse 3.5-RC4. One of the big new features for me is that it’s now based on Cocoa instead of Carbon. There are many benefits to this, including being able to run on 64-bit Java 6. Fundamentally, … Continue reading

Exceptional Origins
I’ve just noticed something rather nice in Eclipse. The “Mark Occurrences” feature () will show you where an exception is thrown. For example, here I’ve clicked on the IOEXception in the method definition. You can clearly see that read(), write(), … Continue reading
Exceptional Eclipse Tip
By default, when eclipse creates a try/catch block for you, you end up with something like this: try { doSomething(); catch (EvilException e) { // TODO auto-generated catch block. e.printStackTrace(); } This is worse than useless, as it (effectively) covers … Continue reading
Tomcat Logging in WTP
I’ve just been trying to enable debug logging for tomcat (don’t ask). Normally you do this by editing $CATALINA_HOME/conf/logging.properties and restarting. Except I tried that in Eclipse (using WTP) and it didn’t work. I tried copying it to the $CATALINA_BASE/conf … Continue reading
