Eclipse Juno - good features of Eclipse 4.2 ( Eclipse Juno ) JDT/Workbench


Global search bar

The workbench now has a global search field in the tool bar.



Multi-drag sash

You can now place the cursor at the intersection of two or more sashes and drag them all at the same time. When you are going to be dragging multiple sashes, the cursor will change to one with 4-way arrows. The image below indicates one such intersection with a red circle.



Ant updated to 1.8.3 and JUnit to 4.10

The bundled version of Apache Ant in the platform has been updated to version 1.8.3. The JUnit 4 version shipped with Eclipse has been updated to 4.10.

CamelCase in Quick Outline

The Quick Outline (Ctrl+O) and Quick Hierarchy (Ctrl+T) in the Java Editor now also support camelCase matching on the element name, quite similar to the Open Type dialog and Content Assist.



Quick Assist to convert enhanced for loop

Ever encountered an enhanced for loop and needed access to the Iterator or to the loop index? Now, you can just use a Quick Assist (Ctrl+1) to convert the loop.



Improved bracket matching support in Java editor

The Java editor now supports highlighting of enclosing brackets.



New options to detect resource leaks

The compiler can now detect leakage of resources i.e. local variables of type java.lang.AutoCloseable (compliance >= 1.7) and java.io.Closeable (compliance <= 1.6).

ATG - how to use the Transaction Manager

Basic concepts of Java transaction In its simplest definition, a transaction is a set of actions that is treated as an atomic unit; either all actions take place (the transaction commits), or none of them take place (the transaction rolls back). Managing transactions is one of the primary tasks of an application server. The application server keeps track of transactions, remembering which transaction is associated with which request, and what transactional resources (such as JDBC or JMS connection) are involved. Each active transaction is represented by a transaction object, which implements the interface javax.transaction.Transaction. A transaction is usually associated with a thread and only one transaction can be associated with a thread at any one time. A central service, called the Transaction Manager, is responsible for keeping track of all these transactions. The Transaction Manager is implemented through the Java Transaction API (JTA).

ATG Search Indexing - overview of different steps in search indexing

Read more about the search indexing behind the scene steps @  http://tips4ufromsony.blogspot.in/2011/12/atg-search-indexing-behind-scene-steps.html ATG Search prepares searchable content by indexing the products specified in the XML definition file (/atg/commerce/search/ProductCatalogOutputConfig). Generally there are two types of indexing 1.  Full Indexing  --> all data taken for indexing 2.  Incremental Indexing --> only changed data will be taken for indexing When full indexing is triggered, following happens:    1. The out of box component BulkLoader will call IndexedItemsGroup.getGroupMembers() to load the products to the XHTL document. It prevents uncategorized products from getting indexed. The definition file format begins with a top-level item as a product and includes the properties of parent category and childskus. For each product, the set of Variant Producers configured in ProductCatalogOutputConfig is executed to check how many index items are to be cr
