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

Basic design decisions for a commerce search setup ( with an ATG Search view)

In this blog I would like to explain the basic set of configuration/design decisions needed to setup an ATG search project. Most of these design decisions are common for all Enterprise search applications. 1. Decide the searchable properties : This means the properties that the business want the user to search in the ecommerce platform. In ATG search these are configured as the text properties in the product-catalog-output-config.xml ( the definitionFile of the \atg\commerce\search\ProductCatalogOutputConfig). Usually the displayName of product/sku, displayName of department/category/sub-category, skuId, brandName are the properties configured as searchable. 2. Decide the search refinement properties or the faceted properties : After a user search for a keyword, search refinement is the next step done to filter his results. ATG supports the search refinement using the Faceted Search concept. Read more about facted search @...
