Eclipse Luna - Good features of Eclipse 4.4 JDT / Workbench

Split editors

Do you ever find yourself working in a large file and need to view or edit multiple sections at once ? You can now split / unsplit the currently active editor. Use quick access and type split to get different options.

Dark theme

A new dark window theme has been introduced. You can enable it from the General > Appearance preference page.

Show In System Explorer

If you select a resource and right click, there is now a Show In>System Explorer context menu entry that will open the folder containing that resource in your system's file explorer.

New layout for minimized views

Minimized views can have a different display mode by right-click on the "Restore" button of a minimized stack and select the "Show in the Original Location" menu item.

Filter conflicting projects during import

When importing existing projects, you can now filter out any conflicting projects (projects that are already present in your workspace).

Quick Fixes to create 'for' loops

A set of new quick fixes can create for loops that iterate over a given expression for arrays, Collections and Lists

Enabled coloring of variables

Parameter variables and local variables are now colored by default. You can change it @ Java > Editor > Syntax Coloring preference page.

Java 8 Support

The Eclipse compiler for Java (ECJ) implements all the new Java 8 language enhancements.

Improved Hot Code Replace for member types

Hot Code Replace has been improved in the Java debugger to ensure the correct method is dropped to in member types (inner / anonymous / local classes).

ATG : Oracle started new discussion forum for ATG

Oracle has started a new ATG discussion forum on oracle discussion forums.  It has a main ATG section and is divided into technical and business categories. You can access the url   http://forums.oracle.com/forums/category.jspa?categoryID=503 .  After Oracle acquired ATG, this was much expected and we can hope this forum might give us a better chance to discuss our ATG doubts and more people will come and discuss about ATG.

ATG CA - different activity sources used @ BCC

Read about how a new link can be added in BCC home page @  http://tips4ufromsony.blogspot.com/2012/03/atg-ca-bcc-home-screen-how-to-add-new.html Normally an ActivitySource.properties file define the set of actions that it supports under a genericActivityDefinitionFile. But some ActivitySource.properties  define the actions  using the workflowActivityDefinitionFiles. For example consider the default "Content Administration" ,  "SearchAdministration",  " Merchanding "  and "Personalization" options in BCC homepage. Below I listed the ActivitySource.properties and other properties for these links. To get all these activitysource names, just take the / atg/bizui/activity/ActivityManager  component @ dyn/admin. Content Administration ActivitySource  --> /atg/bizui/activity/PublishingActivitySource genericActivityDefinitionFile Search Administration ActivitySource  --> /atg/bizui/...

ATG Search - search engine tuning settings

In this blog, I am going to list the best tuning settings for ATG Search engine. The AESoapConfig.xml, AESoapWaspConfig.xml  and AEConfig.xml are the xmls referred below and you can find it @  <ATG_DIR>\<Searchx.x>\SearchEngine\<operating_system>\bin\ folder. (1)  Make sure that the AESoapConfig.xml's rwTimeout is less than or equal to routing's readTimeoutMs. You could find the routing's readTimeoutMs @ atg\search\routing\SearchEngineService component.               rwTimeout is the  length of time in seconds to wait before a read or write operation times out on an active connection. The number can be decreased to improve performance. However, a value that is too low could cause slow connections to be prematurely closed. (2)  Adjust the number of engine threads to match the number of CPUs available to the engine. Note that the minimal value for maxThreads and maxSpar...
