Just a quick notice, to speed up my future use of this command: if you want to set another default Java version in Ubuntu, use the update-java-alternatives command. For more details, see Ask Ubuntu, knowing that this command (probably) works in multiple version of Ubuntu – I’m on 12.04 and it worked fine for me.

Obsolescence Sets In Too Fast For My Hardware
Posted in Apple & Macintosh, Java, Software Development on 29/05/2012 | Leave a Comment »
Am I an Apple G5 owner feeling a little left out by Apple? Well, yes, actually: no hardware upgrades possible, and no serious OSX upgrades… Do I have a very expensive and capable piece of hardware which can still be valuable? Yes indeed! Do I run applications based on Java and feel left behind with just Java [...]
Flashback Removal
Posted in Apple & Macintosh, Internet, Java, Software on 12/04/2012 |
Remember the OS X trojan I wrote about on April 4th? Kaspersky Labs has created a tool to remove the Flashback trojan, should you have been infected. And don’t hold your breath, but rumor has it that even Apple Inc. is working on a similar program…
Android Development Tool On Your Smartphone And Tablet
Posted in Android, Java, Mobile Computing, Software, Software Development on 23/03/2012 |
A long time ago, I dabbled with Basic, Lisp and Python on my trusted Palm PDA’s. Yes, even a decade ago you could install interpreters for such programming languages on a small computer. I won’t pretend that such environments were destined for the construction of gazillions of enterprise apps, but as a challenge for geeks/developers [...]
Help For Performance Trouble In ColdFusion
Posted in ColdFusion, Java, Software, Software Development on 15/11/2011 |
We’re having a bit of trouble with our ColdFusion applications (intranet apps, to be specific): at seemingly random intervals, the response of the application that is most used “degrades significantly”, to put it mildly. I don’t have a definitive and complete explanation at this time, but I’m certain that there’s a mix of multiple causes [...]
Take Care When Naming Tools
Posted in Java, Linux, Ubuntu, Web Development on 31/10/2011 |
Last week, I had to get a few web applications running on my Ubuntu netbook. That shouldn’t have been too difficult: after all, I have installed Tomcat on many servers (mostly Windows-servers, admittedly, but on OSX too), and getting a web app like JSPWiki to run on Tomcat is something I have done many times. [...]
Ouch!

From Cameron McKenzie on TheServerSide.COM: “In fact, the best way to speed up any given WebSphere or Rational product is to simply switch to NetBeans and Glassfish instead“…
Amplexor And Adobe Present CQ5
Posted in Content Management, Java, Software on 28/04/2011 |
I attended a seminar today, where Amplexor and Adobe presented Adobe CQ5, the web content and digital asset management solution that became part of the Adobe product catalog when they bought the Swiss company Day Software. I did know Day Software (just search for ‘Nuescheler’ on this blog), but I hadn’t seen their CMS before, [...]
Don’t Shoot The Easter Bunny!
Posted in Internet, Java, Software Development, Technology, Web Development on 22/04/2011 |
In the dutch language, the Easter Bunny is called the Paashaas, the ‘haas’ being the bunny. So it’s only appropriate that IBM is publishing the “Java PaaS Shootout” ;-) Enough wordplay: the IBM PaaS stands for “Platform as a Service”, and the article discusses the pros and cons of three Java platforms in “the Cloud”. [...]
Sri Lanka Programmers Are Happy With New JVM Language
Posted in Java, Software Development on 17/04/2011 |
A few days ago, Gavin King announced his plans (or Red Hat’s plans) to create a new programming language for the JVM called Ceylon. You’ll find the announcing presentations as attachments on the “In Relation To… Ceylon” discussion page. It’s still much to soon for an in-depth evaluation, but Gavin King isn’t just anyone in [...]
What Ruby? Mirah!
Posted in Java, Ruby, Software Development, Wiki on 29/03/2011 |
These days, at least in Europe, the word ‘Ruby’ is mostly associated with the frolicking of Italy’s prime minister, and not with the programming language of the same name. From the diminishing number of news items on the Ruby Inside news site I deduce that the language has reached a mature and stable state – [...]
Java 7 On The Mac
Posted in Apple & Macintosh, Java, Software Development on 25/01/2011 |
I’m certain that serious Java developers working on Mac OS X already know this, but I’m writing it down for myself: it’s possible to have Java SE 7 on your Mac. Check the details at http://wikis.sun.com/display/OpenJDK/Mac+OS+X+Port. The openjdk-osx-build project on GoogleCode has more details, including a link for OS X 10.5 users.
The Pain Continues (2)…
Posted in ColdFusion, Content Management, Java, Software Development on 07/12/2010 |
I didn’t have much time to blog about it these last few days, but my search for a way to get Verity to work with our CMS in CF8 has continued. Friday and yesterday were spent mostly with the information from these (and similar) blog posts: cfindex:Unable to connect to the ColdFusion Search service (orangepips) [...]
No Fun, But Hoping For The Best
Posted in Apple & Macintosh, Java, Software Development on 15/11/2010 |
Devoxx 2010 has kicked off today, and I can’t be there (again)… It’s a good thing we have the Internet these days, so I can hope to pick up a bit of the atmosphere and the content of Europes largest Java conference through Twitter and blogs etc… For me, the best Java-related news item of [...]
No Java Bashing, Just Being Practical
Posted in Java, Python, Software Development, Web Development on 02/11/2010 |
There’s no Java bashing in this story, just someone being practical: Java versus Python. And if you really must use Java for your web development, have a look at the comments of that story and read about Mojasef…
