November 9th, 2009

Here’s an easy way to create a notification from inside eclipse (triggered by your own plugin), without any effort at all. MyLyn-core has a nice popup that looks great cross-platform, fades out and is visible outside the eclipse IDE, even when minimised (and also cross-desktop on ubuntu).

JBoss Tools in Eclipse on Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic koala)

November 2nd, 2009

While upgrading to Karmic Koala (Ubuntu 9.10), my JBoss Tools eclipse plugins suite stopped working. Workspace log told me:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /opt/eclipse/plugins/org.mozilla.xulrunner.gtk.linux.x86_1.8.1.3-20070904/xulrunner/libjavaxpcomglue.so: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

XULRunner needs libstdc++5 and it seems that it’s removed from the Karmic repository when upgrading from Jaunty. To get JBoss Tools back online, install the .deb file yourself from the jaunty repo:
