Eclipse losing track of files?

Posted by Kelvin in Coding, Eclipse, IDE on 30-04-2009 | 2 Comments

One of the most annoying things about Eclipse is the way it manages files and will refuse to open anything which has been edited outside of the IDE, typically it will throw a ResourceException with the message showing “Resource is out of sync with the file system”.

This problem can be alleviated by either right clicking on the file and selecting “Refresh”, or if you find it happening frequently, Go to Preferences -> Workspace and enable the “Refresh Automatically” option, do note it appears Eclipse updates on a timer, not when you open the file, so it may take a while to detect the change. (You got a better method? or am I wrong? leave a comment and let me know).

Having problems with Eclipse 3.4.2 + Proj-X Transfer?

Posted by Kelvin in Eclipse, IDE, Java on 14-04-2009 | 4 Comments

Transfer is currently incompatible with Eclipse v3.4.2, there seems to be a problem where it registers its menu items and settings page. I’ll look into this as soon as I can, in the mean time please stick with v3.4.1 or remove Transfer until I can get this fixed.

Sites now running PHP5.3 Beta

Apologies to anybody who had problems accessing the site in the past day or so, I’ve upgraded the server to PHP5.3 BETA, this will allow me to test namespaces etc.

My first attempt didn’t go so well, it seems MySQLND doesn’t play nicely at the moment (perhaps MySQL needs some separate configuration for this).

Install Linux from USB

For anybody looking to install Linux from a USB stick, I would recommend taking a look at http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/, it worked a treat for me with Ubuntu server 8.04.

Setting up PPTP on CentOS 5

Posted by Kelvin in Linux, OS on 25-02-2009 | 4 Comments

I’ve recently setup a new home linux server to act as an email, media and development server, the final piece of the puzzle was to setup relatively secure remote access which can be connected to easily from anywhere – My preferred method for this is using a PPTP VPN.

I’ve configured several servers with PPTP support, but I always lose the link to the distro specific downloads, so future reference here they are http://poptop.sourceforge.net/yum/stable/packages/

If your looking for a good tutorial on configuring PPTPD on Centos 5, check out this tutorial by Win Loon.
