NetBeans Plug-in: SMTP Dummy

Date June 7, 2009

On Friday I went on-leave, and being a complete geek I quickly filled my time with some personal programming assignments. For a long time I’ve been wanting to look more into the NetBeans Platform and explore how to build stand-alone applications based on the platform. For the past ten years I’ve almost solely been developing [...]

Christmas present from Sun

Date January 2, 2009

Just as the year was ended I got a great Christmas present from Sun Microsystems. 1) A cool NetBeans 10 year anniversary T-shirt for participating in the community acceptance test programme for NetBeans 6.5 (NetCAT) 2) A pass on my exam to become Sun Certified Specialist for NetBeans IDE The exam was special to me [...]

Project-based formatting in NetBeans 6.5

Date August 6, 2008

Being part of the NetBeans Community Acceptance Testing (NetCAT) Programme has definate advantages. For one, you get to try out all the new features planned and influence how they will work before being released to the general public (that is not quite true….anyone can download the daily development builds). One of the features in the [...]

Using Facelets with NetBeans 6.1 (without nbfaceletssupport)

Date May 8, 2008

–Update 27. May 2008: You can download the Facelets NetBeans plug-in for 6.1 from: http://project-template.googlecode.com/files/nbfaceletssupport-6.1.zip– I’m a fan of Facelets when it comes to templating for JSF applications. Prior to version 6.1 of NetBeans I was using the nbfaceletssupport plug-in. Sure, it had its quirks, but overall it was a good plug-in. After installing NetBeans [...]

Shared libraries finally made it to NetBeans

Date March 19, 2008

Today I installed NetBeans 6.1 beta. I’ve always been a great fan of NetBeans and participated in the Community Acceptance Testing programme (NetCAT) for version 4.0 and 6.0. I haven’t had time to go through all the changes yet, but one thing caught my attention immediately, the “Shared Library” functionality. It has always amazed me [...]

Yippiee my new phone arrived

Date March 15, 2008

For a long time my old phone has been way past retirement. It was a Qtec 2020 (I believe). I’ve always loved smartphones and hated the glorified music players (e.g. Sony Ericsson). I don’t see the point in the fancy music player phones, but that is probably because I’m perfectly happy with my iPod and [...]

Creating a custom JSF message component

Date February 12, 2008

The other day I was tasked with creating feedback messages for a JSF-based application as JavaScript alert dialogues. JSF already got a tag for displaying messages attached to components (<h:message /> and <h:messages />), however they are limited to render the text using a given cascading style sheet class for each level of severity. This [...]
