Do you know these features of Java Decompiler ?

Other than the basic “search for a word” and “go to line number”, following are some of the features of the latest Java Decompiler:

1. You can open multiple Jar files in tab. You can open multiple class files in tab. If one class has a reference to another class in the same jar, you can go to that class file by just clicking :

2. You can view the Type Hierarchy of a class file by selecting : Navigate –> Open Type Hierarchy ( F4 ) :

3. You can view the outline of the class ( methods and variables ) by selecting : Navigate –> Quick Outline ( Ctrl + Shift + O ) or you can click on the middle button of your mouse to open the quick outline :

4. It is possible to save a single class file as the Java source file and also to save all the class files in a jar as a zipped source file :

5. Copy and paste a stacktrace from a file into the Decompiler and the stacktrace became active in a clipboard window, provided the class files already opened in the Decompiler.

6. You can drag and drop and a set of JAR files into the Decompiler.

7. You can download the latest free version @ http://java.decompiler.free.fr/?q=jdgui and the eclipse plug-in @ http://java.decompiler.free.fr/?q=jdeclipse . Get the Eclipse 4.x version @ http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/jadclipse-eclipse-4x

JBoss - know more about the JBoss directory structure

Fundamentally, the JBoss architecture consists of the JMX MBean server, the microkernel, and a set of pluggable component services - the MBeans. The JBoss Application Server ships with three different server configurations. Within the <JBoss_Home>/server directory, you will find three subdirectories: minimal, default and all. The default configuration is the one used if you don’t specify another one when starting up the server. If you want to know which services are configured in each of these instances, look at the jboss-service.xml file in the <JBoss_Home>/server/<instance-name>/conf/ directory and also the configuration files in the <JBoss_Home>/server/<instance-name>/deploy directory. JBoss 4.0 features an embedded Apache Tomcat 5.5 servlet container. conf --> The conf directory contains the jboss-service.xml bootstrap descriptor file for a given server configuration. This has the jboss-log4j.xml file which configures the Apach...

How to simulate Browser back button

When someone asks how to simulate a back button, they really mean to ask how to create a link that points to the previously visited page. Most browsers tend to keep a list of which websites the user has visited and in what order they have done so. The DOM window object provides access to the browser's history through the history object. Moving backward and forward through the user's history is done using the back(), forward(), and go() methods of the history object. To move backward through history, just do window.history.back() ; This will act exactly like the user clicked on the Back button in their browser toolbar. Find below a sample html code: <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function goBack(){ window.history.back() } </script> </head> <body> <input type="button" value="Back" onclick="goBack()" /> </body> </html>

Eclipse plugin: InstaSearch – for quick search

InstaSearch is an Eclipse plug-in for performing quick and advanced search of workspace files. This will index the files and when you search for some file contents, it will look with in this index and the search results will be faster, just like the Goolge instant search. It uses Lucene ( http://lucene.apache.org/ ) for indexing and fast searching of files in the workspace. Each search result file then can be previewed using few most matching and relevant lines. A double-click on the match leads to the matching line in the file. Main Features Instantly shows search results Shows a preview using relevant lines Periodically updates the index Matches partial words (e.g. case in CamelCase) Opens and highlights matches in files Searches JAR source attachments Supports filtering by extension/project/working set Download / Installation In Eclipse Helios (3.6) please install using the Eclipse Marketplace from the Help menu http://marketplace.eclipse.org/s...

ATG Search and how to generate XHTMLs from STG file

The ATG search indexing will give you the idx and stg files. When I analyse the stg files with some text editors like Textpad or Ultraedit , found some <html> and </html> tags and the contents inside these tags seems to be the same content of the temporary XHTML files , which will be generated during the search indexing for each indexed item. So I deicded to take the contents in between the <html> and </html> tags and save as XHTML file and it works for almost all indexed items. As you might know, these XHTML file’s <head> tag contains all the meta properties ( refine properties ) and the <body> tag have the text properties ( searchable properties ) for each indexed item. Please note that the above steps are not an ATG recommended method to generate the XHTML files. I come across to this simple method to form the XHTML files and I am not 100% sure that this will give all the XHTML files of a search index . But I found this to be very useful f...
