Interest in GEF-BoF at upcoming EclipseCon?

I will be giving a talk at the upcoming EclipseCon, in which I want to show what can be expected for the Mars release in terms of GEF4 (https://www.eclipsecon.org/na2015/session/gef4-sightseeing-mars). The talk will be a mere demo-tour, so no technical details or roadmap plans will be thematized.
When I attended EclipseCon NA and Europe last year, nevertheless, a lot of people contacted me with technical questions, questions about our roadmap, and especially about how to migrate from GEF to GEF4. I was thus thinking whether it would make sense to organize a BoF session this time to gather the community and have the chance to discuss these kind of questions appropriately. Therefore, I would like to know, whether you - the community - would be interested in such a venture. Please give me some feedback (here or via private communication) whether you would be interested in such a BoF at the upcoming EclipseCon.
Cheers
Alexander

Alexander,
I am strongly interested in GEF4 and I was actually following Your GEF4 project since a long time.
In past I developed a complex diagram editor with GEF 3.x MVC. So I'm familiar with GEF 3.x; but I would like to develop some editor with GEF 4.x MVC.
I would be interested in a BoF session, at next EclipseCon, or online. Maybe just to see how to start with a simple simple example of GEF 3.x MVC project, (*) and convert it into GEF 4 MVC
(*) something simple, as example:
simple GEF editor with undo / redo
development of a simple editor for directed graphs with GEF
Building a DB schema diagram editor with GEF
It would also be interesting having some pointers on how to start mapping GEF 3 MVC to GEF 4 !
Note: I'm keen to contribute - code or documentation - to the GEF project. So don't hesitate to point me to some existing bugzilla.
Kind Regards.
Patrik

[All Platforms][Your Music] Advertise Your Bands' Upcoming Showtimes

So I think it would be really interesting if Spotify could list upcoming shows and concerts around your area for the bands you like or have in your playlists. Of course this would require geographic information from the user, and they would probably need incentive for advertising for bands, but I think it would be cool if you were listening to your favorite music and then found out that your band is playing in your town soon. I don't take the time to search my bands' showtimes individually, so this is just an issue of convenience.

Updated: 2015-07-29Hello and thanks for the feedback!

I created a book in iPhoto for an upcoming family reunion. Most attending are interested in purchasing a copy. Is there a way for me to make it available for attendees to purchase? What are my options? Thanks!

There is no way for anyone but you to place the order. You can get a list, collect money and order passing out to purchasers at the reunion. For late orders you can have them shipped to you and reship or use a different shipping address for each order

Advice for Upcoming App Spree

Thanks for asking those questions; I knew I was bound to leave some information out. Unfortunately, I don't have verifiable income during the summer, but I did during the school year, and I will during this upcoming school year. The only reason I was denied for the Discover CLI was because my history was so short (didn't even have a FICO score yet). I always PIF. I didn't even think to include that because that just seems like it should go without question with the way I view credit haha. Anyway, yeah I always plan to PIF with any credit cards. As far as getting my other FICOs, is there any free way? Just the whole reason I'm into credit cards is to save money (rewards now and lower interest on loans in the future), so paying for anything credit related kind of contradicts why I do this stuff. I do plan to get a Citi Double Cash in the future, and then I'll have a monthly EQ FICO score as well. I have looked at all of the Capital One cards, but none of them are really rewards leaders. Because I'm mostly just interested in the very best cards for me and Capital One triple pulls, I'm not really interested in them. As far as the plausibility of getting these cards, I think that if I applied for only one of the them (except maybe the Fidelity), I would be approved because I've seen many thin, clean files approved for AmEx cards, seen people with only 6 months of credit history approved for the Freedom despite Chase saying that they like to see a year of history, and the Sallie Mae seems to be geared towards students or recent graduates, so it makes sense that thinner files get approved for the Sallie Mae card. Anyway, I could be totally wrong about any of this, but I think that I stand a decent chance for these cards on their own, but applying in the right order might be key to getting hopefully at least 3.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I'm definitely a bit worried about having a successful app spree and then Barclays closing my account because of too many recent accounts. I was under the impression that the charge cards are easier to get approved for than the revolvers, and the PRG is a charge card while the ED is a revolver. Either way, I don't really see the point of applying for cards just because I am more likely to get approved for them. I'm more interested in applying for cards because their rewards fit my spending habits. This same logic goes for why I don't intend to apply for a Capital One card. Also, as far as feasibility of my approval for these cards, here are a few relevant links so that we hopefully don't have to talk that much about that on this thread:Sallie Mae approval with 9 months history and a 642 TU FICOSallie Mae and Chase Freedom approval with 8 months history and a 707 TU FICOFidelity Amex approval with 9 months history, 7 months AAoA, 723 EQ FICO, and 741 TU FICOAmex ED approval with 6 months history and 696 EXAmex BCP approval with 6 months historyAmex PRG approval with 7 months historyAmex BCE approval with 9 months historyAmex BCE and Chase Freedom approval with 8 months historyChase Freedom approval with similar profileChase Freedom approval with short history No offense, but if you search enough for what you want to hear, you will find it... I know you are not opting for the charge cards, but it made me think, how many teens/young adults need a charge card...Which made me think further, it would be great because there is a less chance of accumulating cc debt! Something to think about. How much money do you spend a month that can be put on credit cards? What are your 1, 5, and 10 year credit goals? I did check credit pulls database (which is a gamble anyway) and the amex prg had lots of approvals even for scores lower than yours. Go for it. I really dont care for that salliemae card. #1 because it is with barclays. Plus, their rewards cap seems kind of low. But yeah, it would be a geat card for a student especially for bookstore/amazon and you can have the percent deposited into upromise or pay interest on student loans (as I am sure you already know!).
Anyway, did you check the chase approval site? I would apply for amex first. If you dont get approved, call in for a recon for a different product. I think you will be just fine with whichever card you select. I would apply for chase second. And Salliemae 3rd. Only because the first two have the most room to grow with you and therefor seem to be the priority to me. My reply doesnt have much advice, but hopefully it will bump it to the top so others will chime in!

Using a CC with a Balance Transfer without added interest cost

I have several cards on 0% or low APR BT Offers, and those CC have also made me offers for cash back if I use the card for purchases. How can you do this, if the card is already on a BT, without destroying the low APR on the BT? Easy. An important thing to understand about your credit card statement is that your statement balance can have multiple APR on several different portions of the balance. In this Bank of America example, I’ve got two separate 0% APR with different expiration dates, balance transfers left over from earlier at the purchase APR, and purchases at the standard purchase APR. The amounts shown are not the ending balance, but rather the average balance during the credit card statement period. (even this average balance isn’t exactly what the interest is charged on, because CC interest is charged on a daily percentage, resulting in daily compounding)Before Congress passed the CARD Act, most CC agreements would apply ALL payments to the lowest APR first, meaning in the above example the ~$8k on the two 0% APR would be paid first, all $8k, before even beginning to pay on the ~$500 at the purchase APR. This is a favorable purchase APR, but imagine if the purchase APR was at 19%? To make matters worse, the interest on the purchase APR items would usually add to the Purchase balance, and continue to compound the interest cost on the purchases until all the lower APR items were paid off however many months that took. Needless to say, in the old days it was not a good idea to use your credit card for regular purchases if you had a BT on the card. That all changed with the CARD Act a few years ago. Since the credit reforms of the CARD Act, credit card issuers are allowed to apply the minimum payment to the lowest APR items first. However, after the minimum payment, they must apply payments to the highest APR items. The minimum payment depends on statement balance, but is often only 1% to 2% of that statement balance. In the example above, the statement balance of almost $8k required a minimum payment of only $82. This would be applied to the approximately $8k 0% APR balance first. Any additional payments above the $82 for the month would be applied to the highest APR items next. Actual interest charges usually fall into the higher APR buckets. On the BofA cards, I get little offers for 10% cash back from certain national merchants. HairMasters, Starbucks, Buffalo Wild Wings, Papa Murphy’s, and several others are regularly available to add the offer to the card, use it at the merchant for one purchase, and get 10% cash back. With my Citi Diamond Preferred, I also had a $600 BT offer on the $1k CL, then got a 5% back on $500 of purchases in gas, groceries, restaurants and department stores. My Discover card had several thousand on a 0% BT, then they sent me a “spend $1,000, get $100 back” offer. My US Bank Cash+ has a low APR BT offer, and 5% categories for Department stores. How do you take advantage of the spend offers and not get interest charges? You usually have to accept / sign up for the spend offer, to add it to the card, so do that first. When you use the card for any of the offers, depending on the spend involved in the offer, just keep track of those as they post to your CC account online during the month. You have to wait until the charge amount actually posts to your credit card account, so it is no longer Pending. After it posts, it will be in the “Purchases” bucket of the daily interest charge calculations. Said differently, you cannot prepay these charges, you have to wait for the amounts to show up as Posted on your account online. It only takes a few days after you did the purchase, and you don’t have to wait until the statement cuts to see the amounts, but they do have to post to your account. After a few charges have posted, use the Make a Payment button on your credit card account to arrange an electronic payment from your checking account, to post the same day or in a few days. If you know when charges will hit, you can also schedule such a payment for a few days after, to allow time for the charges to post. Repeat this throughout the month if the spend offer is a long term thing. The amount of the payment you make must cover the Minimum Payment first. I’ll often just send over the minimum payment right after the statement prints, just to get it out of the way. I owe the amount, the BT needs to be paid off, and the Minimum Payment is a small amount anyway. I’ve also got Autopayments set up for all these accounts, which is intended to pay the BT offer over a schedule. I don’t use the Autopayment amount in my calculations of paying the purchase amount, although they would be applied to the purchase amounts. By paying the purchase soon after it posts, and after the minimum payment has been made, the interest rate clock never really gets started on the purchase amount. You may see a minimum interest charge of $0.50 if the card charges that, but often I don’t even get that amount if the payment is soon enough after the charge was posted. Chase Slate and Freedom cards are actually even easier. You can use the Blueprint Full Pay payment selector features to tell Slate the types of charges you want to include as pay in full, and they will add those new charges to your Blueprint payment to pay them above the minimum payment that is going toward the BT payment, and not accrue any additional Purchase interest. The Finish It allows you to set an additional amount you want to pay toward the BT (or purchase charges) principal over the minimum payment, to make the payments faster. So, the point of this is, if you have a BT offer on a card, you don’t have to effectively SD the card, it can be used for purchases to take advantage of special offers, or even for regular charges, without added interest cost.

But since I don't have any interest on balance transfers and purchases on my discover card right now I usually just make whatever I was making (before the charge) and then I add the new charges in there.If you're 0% on BT's and purchases then this thread really isn't relevant. This is for those that have 0% on BT and >0% on purchases. kdm31091 wrote:
Basically, all this is saying, unless I am missing something, is that if you make purchases and pay them off before statement (i.e. don't carry the extra balance on top of the BT amount) you won't pay interest, which is the case with any CC, whether on a BT or not. I don't see how the rewards offers make any difference here. You're just paying charges as you go to avoid interest accruing.It is basically the same whether there's a 0% offer or not. The OP started this thread to clarify for those that do have a 0% BT offer and still want to take advantage of rewards on the same card without impacting rewards by acrruing interest on new purchases. If the card has no rewards as an incentive for new purchases then it's easy enough just to SD the card until the 0% offer balance is paid off. my-own-fico wrote:
I'm not sure whether to agree, because if you pay the minimum following the statement date and then charge something that you soon pay off, we are talking about two different billing cycles. The billing cycles really don't matter aside from generating a new minimum payment as each cycle closes out. Regardless of cycle the minimum has to be covered first and then new purchases within the given cycle need to be paid off as quickly as possible. The minimum applies to the prior cycle. Additional payment(s) need to be made for purchases in the current cycle.

Slowly but surely..finally approved for BofA

I'm new to this forum, but I have been following for several years. I really want to thank everybody for sharing their experiences and advice. I hope that my story will help others just the same as you have all helped me...n I'd like to apologize ahead for the super long essay lol ;P During my sophmore year in college, I messed up big time on racking thousands of dollars on credit card debt and losing my job. 4 accts ended up in derog (prob around 10k), so my mid 700's dropped to the low 500's. I still had a few retail cards open and good standing student loans, but I had to kiss all my major cc's goodbye. 3 yrs later, I decided to start my journey on rebuiling my credit. I received a preapproval letter from Cap1 and figured I had nothing to lose. I was approved for the Cap1 Platinum MC with an initial 500CL and 22.90% APR w/ an auto CLI to 2500 after 5 months w/ heavy util. 1 yr later, i was approved for an auto loan through Cap1 w/ 6.96% APR. Couple months after that, I applied for the Cap1 Journey Visa and was approved with 500CL and 22.90% APR w/ auto CLI to 750 after 5 months and another auto CLI to 2750 after an additional 5 months. Cap 1 upgraded my Platinum MC to Quicksilver MC shortly after getting the Journey Visa. I know lots of people have their gripes against Cap1, but wow, they really provided a platform to improve without paying any AF's. High interest, but I made sure to PIF after the 0% promotional periods ended. I'd highly recommend Cap1 as a rebuilder as long as you can manage your finances well since 22% APR would cost a lot in interest. After babysitting my credit score for a year, I was so hesistant to apply for the BofA Cash Visa. I recently saw an "invitation to apply" through my online banking and decided to jump the gun. I was approved on spot with a 500CL and 17.99% APR. I'm a bit disappointed that the CL is so low, but so glad to have a "prime" lender approve me. Hopefully BofA will do an auto CLI after a year. *cross my fingers* So after 3 years of careful planning, my score is now steady at 655 (idk my score didn't change after BofA's HP), for EXP and TU. I'm not planning to apply for anymore CC's, but starting to consider if I should do an auto refi. All of my baddies are scheduled to drop in one year, so my ultimate goal would be to be back in the 700's so that I can eventually buy a house. Of course my baddies dropping will help, but are there any other recommendations to increase my score? Thanks and wish me luck!

[Swiss JSF Users] JSF Special-Interest-Group Switzerland

JSF is proving more and more competitive each day. A increasing number of
companies are developing applications based on JSF.
Often the same questions/problems/hints are valid for almost all users of
JSF. Internationally some active communities have been established. Last
year a first encounter of JSF-entusiasts created the idea of "JSFDays Europe",
a conference that allows to get in touch with the main players int he
JSF-universe and to meet also informally. This first encounter took place
in Munich, was organized on very short notice during the Oktoberfest. An
intense session with the JSF expert group lead Ed Burns allowed the users
to voice their wishes for JSF 2.0 and regognize the "approachability" of
the JSF-people at Sun. Within Switzerland so far the contacts between the
users are rather sporadic and more on a one-to-one basis.
Hopefully some contacts have been added during the Jazoon-conference. We
would like to go one step further and establish the networking between
Swiss-JSF users. An active community can help in solving problems or even
create components that are usefull for some or all members. And in
Switzerland we encounter some problems (like i18n, as most of our
applications need to be available in multiple languages) that other
international users do not encounter or encounter later or to a lesser extent.
The JSF-specification is driven by requirements that are brought to the
Expert Group discussing the specifications. So far much input has come
from framework-architects, appserver-providers and tool-creators. It's
about time the actual users let hear their voices as well. Although the
expert group members can be contacted and have proven to be very
responsive, requirements coming from an official user-group have more
importance.
Establishing a "JSF user group" as a independant community or a
"special interest group" under the umbrella of the
"JUGS (Java User Group Switzerland)" could be the outcome of this meeting.
The underline the importance of "interaction" and communication for the
community, we propose short presentations with much space for discussion.
Date: Thursday, 2007-06-28 (right after the end of Jazoon 07)
Place: Zurich, close to the location of Jazoon 07 (but not yet defined)
Agenda:
- 16:30 - 17:30: HTTP-GET interface into JSF-applications
     Presenter: Ed Burns
     Abstract: First ideas on the upcoming GET-interface into
JSF-applications. ...
     30 minutes presentation, 30 minutes discussion on
these ideas and their implications on the applications
- 17:30 - 18:30 (resp. open end): JSF, Quo Vadis?
     Presenter: Ed Burns, Alexander Jesse
     Abstract:
     - Where is JSF heading? The Expert Group is forming and discussing
the next version of the JSF-spec right now.
What are the ideas driving the EG?
     - Where is JSF heading in Switzerland? Can we say a User Group is
forming right now? What could be the plans of this group? Should
it participate in the "JSFDays Europe" initiative?
In order to plan the upcoming first meeting (room,...) we would appreciate
feedback from all interested people. Also from those that cannot come to
the first meeting, but would welcome the foundation of the
JSF Special-Interest-Group Switzerland.

How to build a simple Editor with GEF 4 MVC

Hallo,
I have Experience with GEF 3.x graphical editors, and I would like to make experiments with GEF4 MVC in an Eclipse E4 Application.
Below there is a schema representing the basic architecture of a GEF 3.x MVC Editor :
The base Ideas in GEF 3.x are :
- There is an Editor class containing a Graphical Viewer.
- There are a Root Edit Part and an Edit Part Factory to initialize the Controllers (EditParts)
- There are Views (Figures) and Models (POJO), independent each other, and controlled by the Controllers.
The GEF4 MVC Technology is quite powerful - because one can build Standalone, Eclipse RCP and Web applications.
Anyway it is not perfectly clear to me - yet , how to implement a Simple GEF4 Editor on E4 Application.
So, this is what I understood :
- No more Draw2D in GEF4 - it uses JavaFx Scene and Parent
- In a Scene graph we can put SWTControls (heavyweight) and Figures (lightweight)
- a Canvas (heaviweight) will contain the JavaFX Figures and also possibly a CanvasFigure (lightweight)
So, if I build an Eclipse E4 application with one ViewPart containing a GEF 4 Editor, I suppose the setup of my application will be as follows:
1. Create An Eclipse E4 Application with JavaFx support
2. Add a ViewPart that contains a Canvas
3. Use GEF4 MVC to Create / Edit my MVC tree.
At this point, it is not very clear to me how to implement the real MVC Architecture in GEF 4.
I expect GEF4 MVC will work in some way like the GEF 3.x - as visible in the top image - but I'm not clear on that.
Therefore, these are questions:
- Is the GEF 4 MVC architecture somewhat equivalent to the GEF 3.x one ?
- Where I can find details on the MVC implementation of GEF 4 ?
- Is there any component to provide - out of the box - a Flyout Palette, like it is available in GEF 3.x ?
Thank you for providing this very powerful library and for spending time on this post.
By the way, I'm available to contribute the project.
Kind Regards.
Patrik

It is quite comparable in general but has some significant differences in detail. The best entry points for learning about GEF4 MVC is the reference documentation at https://wiki.eclipse.org/GEF/GEF4/MVC. It also provides some information about differences between GEF (MVC) 3.x and GEF4 MVC (last section about migration). The slides provided at http://de.slideshare.net/AlexanderNyssen/gef4-our-mission-to-mars explain some of the concepts (unfortunately the interesting slides concerning MVC seem to have been messed up when uploading the slides; I will try to update them).
- Is there any component to provide - out of the box - a Flyout Palette, like it is available in GEF 3.x ?
No, not yet. I was thinking to integrate it into one of our examples after the Mars SR1 release.

Interesting Microsoft Quote

Hey James -
Thanks for the submission. We've actually tried to steer clear of this topic (and we've had about a dozen submissions on this topic) because it's a no-win situation for us. We'll get squeezed both by Microsoft people and the Java community, because we wouldn't pick a "winner". We also don't want to present a comparison because it'll lead to people claiming that C# and the CLR are ripoffs of the Java language and VM. Our policy on "Microsoft competitive" technology is that we try not to discuss it - we serve our audience as a post-sales and upcoming technology tool. Thanks again, and if you have any questions or comments please drop us a line.

Subject: Java vs. .Net
I am a frequent reader of MSDN magazine but also a columnist for Java Developers Journal. I write the Ask Doctor Java column. I have noted that both parties never tell the full truth about the other's technology.
I would like to suggest a fair comparison of technologies in a point / counterpoint fashion. I will fairly represent the Java side where another author can represent the MS side. If this is of interest, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thanks - the articles were very informative and
referenced some other useful resources. My take is
that this whole Microsoft/Sun thing is a great pity
and the people who lose are developers and their
customers.
As Shakespeare wrote, "First, let's kill all the
lawyers" (or at least make them deploy a Swing applet
- that should keep them busy!).Although I really love Java and don't like anybody to threaten it, I actually apreciate the pressure put on the language. Lately there have been many areas where there wasn't a real alternative to Java with it's powerfull combination of features. But being the only option is never good for a product because there is no need for improvement. Now with C# and .NET Sun needs to put a fair amount of work in JAVA to keep (or get) ahead of Microsoft.
It would only be a bad thing if Java would die, but I don't think that is realistic in the near to middle future.

Upcoming shows doesn't show HD channels

Hi. I just got FIOS installed yesterday, so please forgive me if this is something obvious.
When I navigate to a program in the guide, say, "College Basketball", then choose "upcoming shows", the list it gives me sometimes doesn't include the HD version of the program. This is really annoying - if I want to go through and program the college basketball games I want to record, I have to find it using the search, then manually go find the HD station to record it.
I tested it with a few other programs and this seems to happen with programs that are shown a lot of times - as though it is searching numerically by channel and gives up after it finds a certain number of programs.
It isn't consistent, though. I searched on Law & Order: special victims unit and it finds it on channel 50 (USA standard definition) today every hour from 11:00 am until 10:00 pm tonight, then tomorrow moring at 4:00 AM and 6:00 AM on channel 50, channel 550 (USA HD), and channel 1500 (also USA standard definition). But even though the same program is on channels 550 and 1500 all day today, it doesn't show up in the list. So if I want the episode that comes on at 10:00 tonight and want it in HD, I can't record it from the "upcoming shows" list.
There's a workaround that I can use the search by keyword to find the show and that works for shows that only come on a few channels, but there are about 30 different networks showing college basketball at some point over the next two weeks. What I really want is a chronological list that includes the HD stations and will allow me to pick and choose what I want to record.
Is there any way I can get such a list?
Thanks.

Some ideas, none very convenient:
Set up favorites 1 or 2 with the channels you're interested in, then switch to these on the guide and browse.
Just select HD channels on guide and browse.
Check out www.verizon.net/fiostvcentral listings.. show only sports then look at the HD channels. Can set up recordings from here if remote DVR is set up.

Live "and interested" Marketing Person at Adobe

I currently have the opportunity to make a proposal, as a member of the group, to present at an upcoming Small Business Conference. I have tried, thru a person in CS Marketing and for two weeks now, to be put in contact with someone at Adobe who could let me know what, if any, assistance they could offer.
The topic is Virtual Office including virtual office software, sharing docs, accessing date remotely, etc. I thought Acrobat products would be a great topic.
At the very least, even if there was no interest, I would have hoped for a courtesy reply. Any one know why Adobe would not take the time to follow up on this?

I'm not sure if 1,200 to 1,500 attendees would be considered small, but I never mentioned the conference size so that couln't have been it.
It is a small business conference, not a small conference.

Interest in a Studio/Forte Developer User Group?

Using Sun Solaris Tools? We would like to guage interest in attending or presenting at an upcoming Sun Solaris Tools User Group meeting. This meeting would most likely be held in early spring.
If you are interested, please send your Name, Company contact information, and a brief description on how you use Solaris Tools to [email protected] by December 10, 2004.

This looks like something that I am interested in - I have several applications with pre-existing authentication/authorization structures built in (Services, projects, etc) - and I want a very lightweight way for users to be able to view/edit (where appropriate) documents (Backup/Restore documents, basic usage, system design, etc).
But I want to be able to embed the documents/editor in existing applications (APEX based).
I have already tied the forum application into an application menu system, so each APEX based application has a nav bar entry "Forum", that jumps to the discussion category for that particular application (and the modified forum application uses the authorization from the menu system to decide what topics a person can see/post.)

Upcoming events sidebar stuck at 'getting events'

I have several group wikis set up, with calendars, and the calendars seem to be working fine.
When I enabled the 'upcoming events' sidebar in the theme for the wikis, it shows up, but it always says 'getting events'. It never actually shows any upcoming events.
Since the calendar and it's permissions seem to be working as I would expect, I'm not sure where else to troubleshoot this problem.

Same here. been trying to fix for 3 days!
10.6.7 on intel x-server. tried migrating old data, tried scrapping everything and starting from scratch. interestingly I have fixed the issue with personal calendars but the group calendars do not work. I tried 'matching' ssl settings. tried wiping /Library/CalendarServer and /Library/Collaboration (where group cal's seem to be)
It seems group calendar support is falling through the cracks.
