Project Content panel for Project Properties failure

I'm trying to inspect/edit the project properties (right click the project in the navigator panel and left click "Project Properties") in JDev build 10.1.3.2.0 on Windows. I get the following stack dump:

Any suggestions on how to resolve the "The content folder is not under the specified source root." issue? When I click "OK" on the Project Properties I get an "An output directory must be specified." alert box. Clicking "Cancel" clears the panel.
Thanks.
John Jeunnette

Hi,
please check with another "fresh" project. The error message
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The content folder is not under the specified source root.
indicates that you messed up with the project file location, which no longer seem to be in the defined source directory.
Close all workspaces and projects in JDeveloper, and create a new project accepting the default settings. This should work then

Click on "Add to Project Content..." button, Project Properties popup

This happens in JDev 10.1.3, when focus on a project or any file under a project.

Charles,
The way items are added to projects has changed in 10.1.3. The project properties dialog has a "project content" node, which is where you configure which items show up. Check out the "what's new" page for some details.
Hope this helps,

Bug in workshop Project Properties for a Java Project !!

I have a Java project which i am trying to make work with junitee so
that i can automate my test cases. I have installed junitee as a web
application named 'junitee' and configured it no problem.
I have my JUnit test cases in Java Project named 'UnitTest'. What i want
to happen is that when i build my UnitTest project i want the resulting
JAR file UnitTest.jar copied into the WEB-INF\lib of the junitee project.
In order to do this i needed to change the project 'Build' options and
select the "Copy JAR file from Libraires to Project as" and refer to the
junitee web app as follows:-
../junitee/WEB-INF/lib/UnitTest.jar
Unfortunately when i do this and select Ok to save my changes workshop
gives me the following error:-
The JAR name contains illegal characters. Please correct the name.
However i have managed to get around this and make it work by manually
modifying my .work file by hand and not through workshop. This works and
achieves exactly what i want however it must be a bug in workshop to not
allow this through the Project Properties window !.
Else if it is deliberate then i cant see why as you should be able to
copy a JAR file to any lcoation inside the project if you wish to. I
hope this gets fixed in SP3.

.. I tried using iPhoto to export a QT file of an image slideshow....
I would start here to play on the knobs&sliders ..
what were your settings for export? "QT file" => that is many dozends of options of compression, codecs, resolutions, etc. pp ...
the consumer apps FCE and iM are meant for TV display only => reduced res + reduced colors, quality reduced due to interlace (due to TV standards) ...-

Setting in Project Properties for PAL 1920 x 1080

Hi there,
I have been using LiveType in Std Def without problem.
Now I have switched to HD, my FCE4 is editing in PAL 1920 x 1080.
What setting is FILE > Project Properties shall I set in LiveType because I see the canvas has gone too big & not managable !!
HELP HELP HELP
Thanks

Pick any of the 1080 presets -it doesn't matter which, although you might have to adjust the frame rate to suit.
Another way to automatically adjust the properties is to simply drop in a small piece of video in the required format via the Place Background Movie command in the File menu. Save the setting and then delete the video.
I see the canvas has gone too big & not managable !!
Click the percentage button at the bottom left of the Viewer. Set it to "Fit to Screen".
Thanks Nick.
But how do fix the size of all the various windows.
After I adjust until all the 4 windows are to my liking, I work on it.
But when I close Live Type and I fired up Live Type on the next time, all the 4 windows go haywire in size again. How do I fixed (and save) the size of the 4 windows once & for all ?
Thanks

Properties panel (for Content Types) not showing when creating sharepoint based document

Hello,
I've created three Content Types to populate when creating a new Budget document. The problem I'm seeing is that my pc always opens the Budget doc in Word Online and the properties box does not show. When I create a new Budget doc with my test pc, where
it always opens in Word, the properties box does show the three Content Types.
Is the idea of Content Type and the properties window supposed to work in Word Online?
My pc is Win 7, Office 2010 and IE 11
My test pc is Win 8, Office 2013 and IE 10
Thanks

Hi Jimbo, they don't work online. You should change your library settings to open documents in client program.

BUG? Default Project Properties, Business Components: Base Classes

Is it just me, or is there a bug in the Default Project Properties Dialog when attemptiong to specify custom classes for the Business Component Base Classes.
I have extended EntityCache and can successfully specify it as a base class via the Project Properties dialog, but in Default Project Properties, I get an error stating: "The selected class is not a valid superclass. Either is does not implement the interface oracle.jbo.server.EntityCache or it has an invalid modifier".
FYI: My custom library has been added to the Default Project Properties->Libraries.
Any help?

Does it work if you use the:
Tools | Preferences... | Business Components > Base Classes panel instead?

NullPointerException when opening project properties ANT tab

Yes, I open the project properties and select the ANT node. When I do, I get a small dialog box saying:
An error has occurred. Click Details for information that may be useful when diagnosing or reporting this problem. It has a "Details>>" button and when you press that, you get a text area showing the stack trace that I posted earlier.
If you then click "Ok" on that dialog, the right side of the properties window shows the follwing:
ANT
O Use Custom Settings
O Use Project Settings
Internal Error when attempting to create this panel
|
| The stack trace is shown again here
|
None of the other controls (buildfile entry area and target lists) are visible).
If I switch to a different node, and then switch back to the ANT node, the exception message is gone and the "Project Buildfile" entry area and Browse button are visible. The buildfile I've specified is properly displayed. However, the available targets list is empty and the Default target selector is disabled.
If I close the dialog and bring it up again, the sequence starts over again.
Please let me know if I need to clarify any of this.
Thanks.

JSC 2.1 ignores path properties in nbproject/project.properties ?

Hi,
I have to import a Netbeans 5.0 project into JSC 2.1 in order to use the JSF UI designer. The project has the Java BluePrints source structure with all folders external to the Netbeans project folder (because it was created with other tools in the past). It is a mix of legacy servlets, plain JSP and JSF pages.
In Netbeans it was no problem to import the source tree by using the option "Web Application with Existing sources" from the project wizard and tweaking the pathes in nbproject/project.properties. In JSC this option does not exist. Also I cannot just move all the sources into a standard JSC project folder since it is a large project in a CVS repository. Also I cannot use softlinks since some people work on the project using Windows and some use Linux.
So I tried to edit the path settings in nbproject/project.properties manually. Here are the relevant lines I changed from a default JSF project created by the JSC wizard I used to manually import the project into JSC:
conf.dir=${file.reference.jsctest-src}/conf
file.reference.jsctest-test=../../test
file.reference.jsctest-web=../../web
file.reference.jsctest-src=../../src
jsf.pagebean.package=jsctest
jsf.project.libraries.dir=lib   # <-- not sure what goes in here
source.root=${file.reference.jsctest-src}
src.dir=${file.reference.jsctest-src}/java
test.src.dir=${file.reference.jsctest-test}
web.docbase.dir=${file.reference.jsctest-web}The web.xml, faces-config.xml, ... etc. are all prepared for JSC. JSC seems to understand it and opens it correctly and list the external folders like Netbeans would. But when I try to add a new JSF UI based page I get a NullPointerException. From the message log:

[catch] ... 67 moreWhen I look into the files view of the project I see that JSC recognizes the classes in the external source packages folder like Netbeans would. But it creates at the same time a non-existing folder named src below the JSC project folder which contaings an empty folder named "jsctest" (the default package name I selected for page beans).
So it seems some part of JSC (the web designer?) ignores the path settings in nbproject/project.properties while others (the code from NB4.1?) does not. When I move all project sources into the JSC project folder in their standard location it works but as I wrote above doing that is not an option because CVS etc..
Or do I have to set some additonal properties in the project for the designer? Or is there any other way to import such a legacy project to create new JSF pages with the designer (we cannot change all servlets / pages at once).
Or is it just a bug in JSC 2.1 I should report? Or is it a unsupported feature JSC will never support?
Thanks in advance,
regards,
Thomas

Thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately, as I described in my inital posting, it is not possible for me to do a refactoring of the source structure in Netbeans because the project is based on a CVS repository and I cannot change the pathes there for several reasons. The web folder and sources folder are outside of the Netbeans project folder anyway. I just thouhgt that JSC would read the pathes from the project.properties file like Netbeans but that doesn't seem to be the case.
I guess we have to wait for the next JSC version or check out other options.
Thanks anyway,
Thomas

Can't change fps in project properties

I can't change the fps in the project properties in Motion 3. I can change everything else, but that. It is stuck at 29.97 but I want it to be at 23.98. Even when I change the preset to, say, 720p24, the fps is still at 29.97. Is this a bug, or is their a magic setting to change somewhere else?

Oh boy! That's weird. I started a new NTSC Broadcast SD project, but the frame rate was still stuck to 29.97 (the frame rate field is not editable). So instead of changing the preset in the project properties, as I've done before, I tried your suggestion. I created a new project, but in an HD format that supported 24p. I chose the DVCProHD 720p24 setting, fortunately this time, the fixed in cement frame rate was at 23.98; I then immediately changed the preset back to NTSC Broadcast SD within the project properties, and whammo! SD res but the frame rate stayed at 23.98.
This is really, I mean really counter intuitive. Apple really did not think things through. Perhaps it's a programing logic issue... Who knows... it's still sloppy!
Thanks Mark for pointing me in the right direction.

What is the "Imported Namespaces" window in Visual Studio Project Properties (VB)

What is the "Imporeted namespaces" window (see below) in Project properties (VB)

Hi trogan,
This is the official document Description from
How to: Add or Remove Imported Namespaces (Visual Basic):
Imported namespaces are managed on the References page of the Project Designer. The imports you specify in this dialog box are passed directly to the compiler (/imports) and apply to all files in your project.
But I think we could understand it better with this document:

Render Format in Project Properties is disabled, why?

Hi,
I can't change the Render Format in my Project Properties,
Does anyone have any idea why it would be disabled?
I've read the manual & watched various tutorials & none of them mention this possibility.
BTW I'm trying to do this because having chosen ProRes422Proxy, the video looks compressed & horrible while editing; far below the quality I was expecting.

Sorry, yes the audio sample rate was originally Surround/48Khz, I was just playing around to see if I could get the render format to enable.
I did have a clip in the project, which was rendered in Motion5 (in ProRes4444), but I deleted this clip & the Render Format is still disabled.
I didn't notice this before, but for some reason, some of the later clips I'm using have no audio track.
This is not right and is probably because whenever I use FCPX to import video from my PAL DV camera, it fails to include audio. And probably fails to do something else...
So I have since discovered that I have to use FCPExpress to import all my footage.
This will take a while, but no doubt if I re-import these clips in FCPExpress, the issue will go away - just a hunch.
Unfortunately, with FCPX's inability to reconnect old clips - I guess it means I'll have to start this project all over again. Yay! ;-)

Project properties

Im using fcpx 10.1.1 . I want to change the project properties that were set by the first frame in my project. Command J and window/project settings are greyed out. Any advice on resetting the project properties for a project?
thanks

Make sure the timeline is active and the project open, or select the project in the event and look at the Info inspector. If that doesn't work post a screen shot of the timeline.

Project Properties timing

In iMovie under project properties in timing, does the the initial video placement have anything to do with the photos in a slideshow at all?

Click on one of the thumbnail images in the project timeline, then select "Edit > Select All" from the menu. All clips in the project will now be highlighted with a yellow border.
Now click on the small gear icon on one of the images. From the drop-down menu select "Cropping & Rotation". (Alternatively, click on the Crop, Rotate & Ken Burns tool in the centre toolbar - or simply press the C key on the keyboard).
In the Viewer, select Fit (in the top left corner). All clips will now be changed to Fit.
It's best when starting a new project to choose your preference from "File > Project Properties", then make a selection for the item "Initial Photo Placement". iMovie's default is Ken Burns (as you've discovered).
