About

This is the project blog of Multilingual NetBeans Community Docs Program- a community documentation project which has grown in leaps-and-bounds since it was launched in March, 2007. We have had high quality contributions and more enthusiastic community members.


We have stopped publishing weekly newsletters, however we started off publishing monthly one's instead. Scroll down for latest posts on this blog!

Aug 2008 | NBDT tips and Tricks

Lets take a look at the contributions done by NetBeans Dream Team Members during the month of August, 2008!

When was the last time they contributed?
A month back, in July, 2008 by Aristides Villarreal Bravo, Kristian Rink and Wade Chandler.


Records Tumbling...

You're in for a surprise, NetBeans Dream Team contributed 13 docs, comprising of tips & Tricks, Tutorials and Developer Faqs. Phew!

Trivia
This month, our program had 23 contributions, back-to-back record breaking months. Also, this was the second time, when we saw many Dream Team members contributed docs, instead of one. Also, we reached an important milestone- 200 docs!

So, I am dividing this particular blog entry into three parts, as every category has good number of contributions and its worth giving each category and respective authors acknowledgement separately. This entry would cover tips and Tricks.

Cocoon, Maven with NetBeans

Hubert A. Klein Ikkink was featured in our Weekly Newsletter Edition #8, as a Topmost Contributor. He contributed 3 taT's and 1 Tutorial based on using Cocoon, Maven with NetBeans. Lets, take a look-

Tips and Tricks

Sep 28 | Shutdown Jetty started by Maven in NetBeans
We can start Jetty with the jetty:run command in NetBeans, but because of an issue for Windows users (see Issue 138116) we cannot shutdown Jetty from within NetBeans. We can of course start the Windows TaskManager and kill the process by hand, but wouldn't it be nice of we could just stop Jetty from within NetBeans?

Read more...
Sep 29 | Using JTattoo Look and Feel in NetBeans
NetBeans is a normal Java Swing application. This means we can use different look-and-feel packages available for Swing to change the default look-and-feel. I like the JTattoo look-and-feel package. JTattoo provides several themes we can use.

Read more...
Sep 29 | Using External Maven with Cocoon 2.2 in NetBeans
Working with Cocoon 2.2 is a blessing compared to the previous versions. Cocoon 2.2 is now based on the Spring framework and uses Maven for the build process. Especially the dependency mechanism of Maven makes creating a new Cocoon application a lot easier. And if there is one IDE out there with superb Maven support than it is NetBeans.

Tutorial

Sep 29 | Build Cocoon Application using Maven 2
This tutorial is based on the Your first Cocoon application using Maven 2 tutorial, but this time we are going to use NetBeans to build the application!

Localize: tips and Tricks

Hi,

As we have planned to call this month as Tips and Tricks Month, it would be only possible, if you put in some efforts and help us achieve another milestone by the time we celebrate NetBeans Birthday!

So, we were thinking if you don't have any new tips and Tricks, though its sounds impossible as we have a large community base. We thought why not let you localize the existing tips and Tricks as well.

So, pick up any TaT's written in English from these Wikis;
Main Contributions List and Archived Docs

Feel free to comment on this blog and let us know which Wiki you want to localize, begin now!

Start localizing!

Call for Contributions: Tips and Tricks

Hi all,
It's October, and we haven't had a lot of contributions so far this month. Why don't we put together a bunch of Tips & Tricks. Anything helping a NetBeans user do his/her job will qualify as a contribution.

I hope to put together a list of these, and maybe even have them published on line (as your contributions). What do you think?

So, let's start sending these in. No ideas? Just update one for an earlier version of NetBeans.

I know that i can count on you all.

Four Developer FAQs

Tom Wheeler was featured in our Weekly Newsletter #5, so lets take a quick look at what all he contributed during that time.

How can I suppress Unexpected Exception Dialog?
If your code generates an uncaught exception at runtime, NetBeans will display a dialog box which can show the details of that exception to the user. This is a welcome alternative to simply crashing the application, and provided you have written solid code, your user should never see this dialog anyway.

Read more...

How can I register services into the Lookup using the System Filesystem?
In short, you probably do not want to. The typical way of registering services is via META-INF/services registration: DevFaqLookupDefault. That method is easier to use and offers compatibility with non-platform applications via the Java Extension Mechanism.

Read more...

How can code in one module be notified when other modules are loaded or unloaded?
Let's begin by stating that you probably do not need to know when other modules are loaded or unloaded. The module system takes care of dependency management for you, so your module should never be loaded unless all of its stated dependencies are loaded too.

Read more...

I got a ClassNotFoundException or NoClassDefFoundError. How can I fix it?

The most likely explanation is that you have a problem in your dependencies. In order for a class in one module to reference a class/interface defined in another module, the following must be true:
  1. The class/interface being referenced must be visible to the code using it, according to the normal Java visibility rules. This typically means that the class must be public, since package-private access across modules is impossible.
  2. The package containing the class/interface must be exported (marked as providing an API visible to other modules).
  3. The module containing the code which uses this class/interface must declare a dependency on the module which provides it.

Thanks, Tom!

Heroes

Surprised!

Actually, you should be, as I am going to share something unique with you guys. So, why did I wrote "Heroes" as the title of this post?

Think...

.

.

.

.

.

Let me tell you, I am not talking about the famous TV series- "HEROES", ok..

I am talking about our "HEROES", the contributors to this documentation project- NetBeans Community Docs!

NetBeans Community Docs Heroes
I believe that, "People who spend time in saving others time", should be considered as heroes. I am really not aware how the world defines a Hero? There would be various ways to define a hero.

However, for our documentation project, we couldn't think beyond contributors as our heroes. They do spend a lot of time exploring NetBeans IDE inside-out, and from this experience, they tend to share a lot of information with a community of users (distributed around the world), in the form of documentation, which would really help the users save a lot of time!

Today, we want to acknowledge all of them, we have created a document enlisting all the contributors of our project, firstly classified on the basis of years, and then months- in which they joined us.

Cheers!

General Eclipse Import Guide for NetBeans 6.5

http://www.netbeans.org/kb/docs/java/import-eclipse.html provides some useful background information for Eclipse users to import their projects into NetBeans.

This document is a good read for the specific scenarios dealt in the documents at http://wiki.netbeans.org/EclipseToNetBeans which is a NetBeans Community Docs sub-project.

Previous updates on the project are available at http://amitksaha.blogspot.com/search/label/eclipse-to-netbeans

Catering to a wider audience

At the NetBeans Community Docs, we have seen a steady stream of flow of non-English docs over the past few months.

We now non-English speaking evangelists as well.

Today, we just take one step more to reach to the large non-English speaking NetBeans Community with a Google Translate Gadget (top right) on this blog. It will automatically allow you to view the page in any of the chosen language from the supported languages.

Have fun.
