Da ich ohnehin so wenig blogge und es mir zu aufwendig ist, zwei Blogs zu warten, habe ich mich mit zwei Freunden zusammengetan und ziehe (auch ältere) technische Beiträge nach und nach auf die neue Seite um.

Diesen Blog werde ich daher früher oder später abschalten.

Also ab nach skweez.net und gleich mal einen Kommentar hinterlassen!

Because I blog that seldomly I decided to move to skweez.net, which I operate together with two friends. So go there now and leave a comment!

If svnsync gives something like

Failed to get lock on destination repos, currently held by ...

you have to remove the lock on the destination repository.

svn propdel svn:sync-lock --revprop -r 0 file:///path/to/repo

… does this.

In Eclipse you can enable the SVN commit dialog to show a field for an issue number. You just have to set some SVN properties.

bugtraq:message

This property activates the bug tracking system in Input field mode. If this property is set, then TortoiseSVN will prompt you to enter an issue number when you commit your changes. It’s used to add a line at the end of the log message. It must contain %BUGID%, which is replaced with the issue number on commit. This ensures that your commit log contains a reference to the issue number which is always in a consistent format and can be parsed by your bug tracking tool to associate the issue number with a particular commit. As an example you might use Issue :
%BUGID%, but this depends on your Tool.

bugtraq:number

If set to true only numbers are allowed in the issue-number text field. An exception is the comma, so you can comma separate several numbers. Valid values are true/false. If not defined, true is assumed.

bugtraq:append

true/false. Append or prepend.

bugtraq:url

A URL to the bug in the bugtracking system, e.g. an installation of Bugzilla or Trac, plus the %BUGID%.

If your Eclipse processes don’t terminate on Linux with Gnome, you should disable the Gnome Accessibility. You’re probably hitting this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eclipse/+bug/293849

Just a small presentation, I held at university about AspectJ.

Important news first: The application goes now by the name Geoclipse.

Since the last update I implemented a GPS plug-in that shows your current position in the map through an attached GPS receiver. Also I am preparing a release on Sourceforge now.

The icons used are from http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/.

That's how it currently looks

Stay tuned!

I made a basic Eclipse application and product out of my SWT port of the mapviewer. It can run standalone without any external dependency to the Eclipse IDE.

Since the last post I ported the last important part that was still left: the rendering code for waypoints.

I also fixed some bugs, did a bigger refactoring and cleaned up some design issues. The tile loading logic should be a bit better now. I’m near a release now, but I want to implement one feature before. That’ll be showing your position in the map through a GPS unit.

If you’re really keen enough, you can check it out from Subversion at https://ssl.byteholder.de/svn/gps https://geoclipse.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/geoclipse.

My Mapviewer port is now running stable enough, that I created an Eclipse Plug-In using it.

Most things, like pan and zoom, work. The threading issues are also ironed out. It’s not ready for a release yet, though. Still missing is support for overlays.

A picture says a thousand words:

Today I began to port the JXMapViewer component to SWT. After an afternoon of work, it is basically working.

However I did not yet port the listeners that are responsible for moving the map around when the user drags it with the mouse. There are also many bugs to iron out, for example there are some issues with threading.

Next step is to finalize the implementation and to write an example Eclipse plugin using it.
