How to set a specific encoding against the default one ?

Just add the following configuration lines into your pom.xml:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
        <encoding>ISO-8859-1</encoding>
        <source>1.5</source>
        <target>1.5</target>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
        <encoding>ISO-8859-1</encoding>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

The <encoding> tag specify the one needed.
Can be applied on the compiler plugin and on the resource plugin.

The <source> and <target> tags can be set to specify Java version compatibility of source and target.
Can be applied on the compiler plugin.

Sublime Text 2 : the "killer" source editor !

Walking the web, i've found the ultimate text editor.

A multi-platform editor

It's like TextMate on OS-X and bring a lots of fantastic feature like a "distraction free" mode, displaying your current text in a fullscreen format without anything else like menubar or status bar. Only a big black screen with synthaxe highlighted text.

Ok, for coder it's not heaven, but with all the snippets, plugins, console, templates, and more (Column edtion mode, etc...)

Sublime Text in its second edition is not only a good editor but also a beautiful one: see screen captures bellow on Linux (Ubuntu 11.10):

figure 1 : The text editor with all features activated:
project explorer, console, and mini-map mode.

figure 2 : Here is the Famous Distraction Free Mode
for Hardcore developers :)

This Very good "professional" text editor is quiet stable, during all my edition sessions: no bug, no crash!

Very good work, guy's !

I also like the easy way to create plugin (complexe one can be implemented because of the Python embbeded engine !).

Create a plugin from scratch

You just have to create a new Directory in the "~/.config/sublime-text-2/Packages/" named with your new extension name to create.

The create a new *.py file script with the name to be used in the configuration file (see later). For exemple "open_google". just copy and paste the following peace of code bellow :
import sublime, sublime_plugin, webbrowser # # Open the default browser to seach for the selected text in Google # (or any other search engine, through Default.sublie-keymap parameters) # sample: # { "keys": ["ctrl+alt+g"] , # "command": "open_browser" , # "args": {"url" : "http://www.google.fr/#hl=fr&output=search&sclient=psy-ab&q={search}&oq={search}"} # # where *search* is the selected string to serach for. # class OpenBrowserCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand): def run(self, edit, url): selection = "" for region in self.view.sel(): selection += self.view.substr(region) webbrowser.open_new_tab(url.format(search=selection))
, and update the keybinding user (CTRL+P and select "Default (Windows).sublime-keymap" file and paste the following lines:
[ { "keys": ["ctrl+alt+g"] , "command": "open_browser" , "args": {"url" : "http://www.google.fr/#hl=fr&output=search&sclient=psy-ab&q={search}&oq={search}"} } ]
Save the files and try to select some text in any sublime editor window, and then press a magic [CTRL]+[ALT]+[G]...

Your default Web browser would open a new tab and display result of the google search with the selected text.

Using Ubuntu as main OS for years now on all Laptop and desk
top at home, I am regularly in front of common problems. But one of the most anoying is the "backlight off bug",

Sometimes, after kernel update, my laptop LCD decide to stay off, for unknown reason.

So only one way to restore it:
sudo vbetools dpms on
This is the only solution I have found to restore the "ON" state.

After any reboot, the LCD stay ON.

Ubuntu is sometimes frustrating for newbies. So here is ONE solution.

Have Fun(buntu ?)

Using for 2 years a Samsung R580 laptop, I am in front of a annoying issue relaying on thethe realtek R8192e_pci for wifi device.

Each time I am closing the screen, the laptop switch to hibernate mode. But when I open it again, Wifi stay off !

So here is the solution:

r8192e_pci
This will install the module at boot time.

An addtional note. This wireless driver seems to cause problems with the power manager sleep (suspend) and hibernate modes. There is a fix for this that worked on my netbook. Edit /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/55NetworkManager to read as shown below adding the lies in bold:

Code:
case "$1" in hibernate|suspend) modprobe -r r8192e_pci suspend_nm ;; thaw|resume) modprobe r8192e_pci resume_nm ;; *) exit $NA ;; esac
Thanks to this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1457592&page=14#td_post_9173699

Box.com en davfs sur Ubuntu !

Connaissez vous le site www.box.com qui propose du stockage en ligne gratuit à hauteur de 5Go ?

Si non, courrez vous créer un compte pour stocker tous les fichiers qui vous sont vitaux.

Donc, un fois votre compte en main, vous allez pouvoir le monter comme un disque local sous linux avec les informations suivantes !

Tout d'abord, commençezs par installer l'outil magique qui va permettre d'accèder au repertoire DAV distant sur box.com

#> sudo apt-get install davfs2

Maintenant, créez un répertoire box.com dans votre répertoire personnel:

#> mkdir ~/box.com

Ensuite, éditez le fichier fstab décrivant les volumes monté au démarrage (vos disques connus de linux):

#> sudo gedit /etc/fstab

Et ajouter la ligne ci-dessous:

https://www.box.com/dav /home/[username]/box.com davfs rw,user,noauto 0 0

où [username] est votre nom d'utilisateur linux.

Ensuite, créons l'espace de stockage de nom / password pour le nouveau point de montage DAV.

Créez un répertoire .davfs2 dans votre $HOME

#> mkdir ~/.davfs2

  #> cp /etc/davfs2/davfs2.conf ~/.davfs2

  #> sudo cp /etc/davfs2/secrets ~/.davfs2

  #> sudo chown $USER ~/.davfs2/secrets

Et éditez le fichier ~/.davfs2/secrets pour ajouter une ligne de la forme:

https://www.box.com/dav [box.username] [box.password]

où [box.username] et [box.password] sont respectivement les nom et mot de passe utilisateur de votre compte box.com.

Maintenant la commande magique:

#> mount ~/box.com

Et voila, vous avez accès à vos fichiers présents sur votre compte box.com !

Pour démonter le lecteur box.com, simple:

#> umount ~/box.com

Encore plus fort, sous Nautilus, une nouvelle entrée de volume est disponible, un seul click sur l'icone et le lecteur est monté. Un click sur le petit bouton de démontage, à droite et le lecteur est démonté.

Note:

Si comme moi, vous êtes confrontés à l'impossibilité de monter un volume DAVFS en tant que simple utilisateur (non root) vous devez passer la commande suivante:

#> sudo chmod u+s /sbin/mount.davfs

Merci à launchpad https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/davfs2/+bug/46995

facile, non ?
