Searching for a good example of a multiview application

Hi,
unfortunately the most examples I've found are simple singleview applications. What I need is an example of a more complex application, which handles more than one view area (e.g. like Thunderbird). Most of the problems I run into while developing such an application are problems not existent in simpler examples. Can anybody give some useful hints eventually?
Best Regards
Michael

Come to think of it, most of the examples of JavaFX code I saw up to now are indeed single pane, at best with pane switching like [JavaFX CRUD|http://www.learntechnology.net/content/javafx/javafx.jsp], or simplified like [Node Bounding Rectangles & Coordinates|http://blogs.sun.com/baechul/entry/node_bounding_rectangles_coordinates].
We had a glimpse of something not unlike Thunderbird in [Insider's Guide to Blending Swing and JavaFX|http://weblogs.java.net/blog/aim/archive/2009/06/insiders_guide_1.html] article, but that's just a screenshot.
I suppose we will have to wait a little before seeing more ambitious GUIs.

Searching for a good file manager

I'm searching for a good file manager. Konqueror 3.5 is quite good, dolphin 4.1 and konqueror 4.1 are not. Since konqueror 3.5 is going to die due to lack of support in the future, I kind of need to find a new good file manager...
Do there exist file managers with the following features?
Many of these features are things I thought were quite logical to be in a file manager, but seem to be missing in most "modern" ones...
-independent of any desktop (gnome or KDE), just a standalone program
-preferably not being both a web browser and file manager in once, at least not in an annoying way. Konqueror 3.5 shows that being that combination is possible without being annoying.
-ability to have a tree view of the folders on one side and list view showing the files and subfolders of the folder currently selected in the tree on the other side
-detailed list view showing at least filename, type, date and size, and the ability to sort according to any of these properties
-a non-detailed view showing image contents would also be nice, to browse folders of photos or other images
-ability to open files in certain programs if you doubleclick the file, NOT open it by singleclicking, singleclicking may only select it
-ability to select multiple files by dragging box around files or using keys like "ctrl" and "shift"
-ability to do "open terminal here" or type terminal commands in the current open directory
-must have ability to drag files from one folder to another, from list view to tree view and vica versa, to move or copy them
-and must have ability to use "ctrl+c" and "ctrl+v" to copy files and foldes from here to there
-multiple tabs is a huge plus
-favorites (to local folder paths) is also a huge plus
-preview of files when hovering the mouse over them is nice
-must have ability to zip and unzip (or other compression formats) folders by just right clicking them and choosing a zip/unzip command there
-in addition to that, must also have ability to browse through a zip file as you would through a normal directory, and drag files from the insides of the zip file to the tree view to automatically unzip those files there, and of course "ctrl+c"/"ctrl+v" should also work to copy a file from the inside of the zip file, to some other folder on your disk
-no horizontal autoscrolling in the tree view, that is an invention straight from the abyss...

I know exactly how you feel about KDE 4 vs. 3 -- Konqueror was the best part of KDE for me (pretty much the only part I ever used, actually; my window manager is a slightly modified version of WMII and I generally loathe "desktop environments"). KDE 4 ruined it, completely and utterly.
I submitted about 20 different bug reports about Konqeuror 4, mostly features that they'd deleted or mangled; some of them are starting to be addressed now. I don't think they'll ever fix the speed issues though, because those are dependent on the underlying KDE 4 libraries as far as I can tell -- it's as if KDE 4 were purposely and deliberately designed to be slower than KDE 3. Even if they fix all of its deficiencies, that'll probably keep me from using it...
Right now there's KDEmod, which will hopefully maintain its KDE 3 branch for a while longer. It's starting to show some problems, though; I haven't been able to get kdemod konqueror 3 to work fully out of the box (the settings pages are all blank). On my main machine, I somehow managed to hack together some of the KDEmod3 packages so that I have a functional konqueror 3 running alongside the Arch repository's version of KDE4. I'm afraid to pacman -Syu now, though, because it will probably break horribly :P
I don't remember exactly how I got konqueror 3 going like that, as I did it in my initial fit of rage after I did the pacman -Syu that got me KDE4 (a decision I have regretted ever since), but it was something like this:
1. move /opt to /opt.kde4
2. make a new /opt
3. download several KDE 3 packages from the KDEmod3 repositories manually
4. extract those packages into the new /opt with tar -xzf (NOT pacman!)
5. try /opt/kde/bin/konqueror
6. read reams of error messages about missing libraries, segfaults, etc.
7. try to supply the missing libraries by downloading other kdemod3 packages and manually extracting them
8. goto 5
Then, when everything worked (sort of), I renamed some stuff so that 'konqueror' is konqueror 4 (I think having it konqueror 3 broke something else, but I don't remember what), and konqueror 3 is called 'k3nqueror'.
If KDEmod3 ever goes away and there's no other good replacement file manager by then, I'll probably take the source code of KDE3 and try to make a standalone version of konqueror out of it. (Which will probably be quite a project because of how interdependent all the KDE components are.)
Some features I "need" in a file manager, besides the ones you mentioned:
- Konqueror's tree view (where you can expand folder branches in the file list)
- Infinite view splitting -- I frequently have my konqueror windows split into 4, sometimes as many as 6 or 7 view panes. Very useful for sorting out files.
- Selection rectangles are sensitive only over files -- I find full-row-select really annoying, because there are no guaranteed "blank" areas that you can click on to clear a selection. I also use this behaviour to grab long-named files that are interspersed with short ones, because they hilight first when the rectangle touches them (you wouldn't think this very useful, but surprisingly often you do want to do something to all the long-named files...)
- Right-clicking on a folder and clicking "Paste" pastes into that folder, not the current one -- you'd be amazed at how many file managers get this wrong. I shouldn't have to cd into a folder just to paste some files there.

Searching for a good programming text editor

Does there exist a text editor for Linux that has got these features?
-can open multiple documents
-can easily switch to any open document, e.g. by just clicking the document in a list or tree on the left (tabs alone won't do because there's not enough space to slow 20+ documents if there are only tabs)
-has a built in command prompt to type compile and debugging commands, which is by default in the folder where your documents are, if all documents are in the same folder at least, otherwise it doesn't really matter to me
-can save sessions, projects, ..., which basically is a way to quickly open your multiple documents belonging to a certain project
-has a super cool search function with options like "whole word" and "case sensitive" clearly visible in the search dialog, and remembering these settings for any open document you search in
-can easily search through all open documents (e.g. like visual studio can)
-has the type of text editing GUI where you can use the mouse to select text, use ctrl+a to select all, use ctrl+c/ctrl+v to copy paste, home/end to navigate the cursor to begin/end of line, F3 to search for next match, etc... (so no vi derivates I'm afraid)
-has modern interface, menus, file save/open dialogs, etc..., not something that appears to come from 1995 (so I think emacs is out of the question)
What I'm looking for is similar to Kate 3.5 or parts of MS Visual Studio. However Kate 4.1 isn't suitable anymore because they destroyed the search function of it. And preferably something that is independent of a desktop, because it's sad that Kate's features can get ruined by people who develop a desktop.
Does anyone have ideas if there exists such a program?

Look good, but ONE thing: I found that F8 "Output" opens a screen that has some properties of a linux terminal except some weird "Exit code:1" messages. However, if I press the "up" arrow, it doesn't scroll through the console history but instead moves a cursor up. I need it to work like a linux terminal with history because I don't want to retype long commands all the time. It also doesn't show the correct type and color of my user prompt. Is there any way to get a more conventional console in the Scite window somewhere?
Also, scite's interface also looks a bit 1995
EDIT: oh hmmm and it appears to not be able to open more than 10 files. That's too limited I'm afraid
Shame, it almost looked like what I needed.

Need help searching for a good IDE...

I've been looking for a good Java IDE that is somewhat comparable to Visual Studio 2003 regarding parameter info helpers and syntax highlighting, with an thought of visual design too. Does Sun have an IDE similar to VS? Seems like I came across one of their products a few weeks ago. If not, do you know any free IDEs that have these features?

I think NetBeans (see www.netbeans.org) is thebest:
- code completion
- sintax highlighting
But not spell checking. If you refer to Java spell checking, or typos, it does. If you refer to a language like Italian, English... it doesn't.

- internal support for Web/J2EE applications

Searching for a good book about [Arch Linux]

Hello friends,
I'm here stuck with Windows 8, making a couple of tests about installing Arch Linux in VMware Workstation, if it succeeds, I'll move to Arch completely. My question is: Is there a good book about Arch (installation, maintenance, best practices, security, and so on)? I tried "Arch Linux Environment set-up How-To", but unfortunately, it wasn't what I expected.
I'm a little confused about UEFI + GRUB2 + GPT/MBR but I think I'll dominate it soon...
My system:
[PROCESSOR] >> Intel® Core™ i7-3840QM (8M Cache, up to 3.80 GHz)
[GRAPHICS] >> Dual Nvidia GeForce GTX 680M GPU With 4GB GDDR5 Video Memory (SLi)
[RAM] >> 16GB DDR3 SDRAM 1600MHz
[SSD] >> OCZ Vertex 4 (256GB)
[HDD] >> Seagate Momentus XT Hybrid (750GB)
I wonder in how many seconds the system will boot up...

@op As others have mentioned, do not seek out knowledge from a book. There has been quite a few shifts in Archlinux, specifically to uefi and systemd. There are a few starters for your concern.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … _Interface
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UEFI_Bootloaders
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide/Installation
Other then that, there is the forums and a quick search will land you on a goldmine of knowledge. Great idea to start it up in a vmware, although it will not require the uefi boot, but it will still get you a bit more familiar with the install process and iron out some basic questions. Good luck!

Searching for a good relational database design tool

Hi!
I am designing an oracle database for our plant, and I want to use a entity-relationship diagram tool to create it.
I want to design the data diagram with it, and generate creation code and run it to create the DB on our oracle server.
I would appreciate that someone suggest good quality tools that can be used to do entity-relationship diagrams and implement the db not only on oracle, but to SQL server as well, as future designs for other projects may be implemented in SQL server.
A small list of quality tools with their noteworthy features would be greatly appreciated.
Best wishes to all!

For Oracle database, Oracle Designer is the best.
If you want to be able to use it for various databases you might think of:
- ERwin
- Embarcadero ER Studio
- Sybase power designer

Searching for a good java debugger

Hi all,
I am a new java developer, i was used to work with c++ builder. I am developing java projects without ide help (plain text, actually with JCreator) . I want to find a good ide debugger (like c++ builder's debugger). I tried to use JBuilder but i can not import my existing project to the JBuilder debugger. Do you know any ide debugger that i can import my project? What about Forte? I have not used it yet. May be tips about importing my .java files in the JBuilder debugger.
Thank you for advance, Kostas.

Careful, I might put you on the list too! -:) No just
kidding but blown up wannabe Java experts like
LadyFoxy and Sscotties should be very careful.
Eventually they'll meet the Nightmare Bwitch, and then
it's over!me! me!
do me next :)
to OP, a debugger you ask for? well not exactly the thingie you're looking for, but in some cases quite useful debugger is a omniscient debugger:
http://www.lambdacs.com/debugger/debugger.html
... but its still experimental or something, so it might not yet be fine tuned for every task, it's the idea that counts...

Searching for some OMB Examples

Hi eveybody,
I need some examples on how to write an OMB command using a
1. Set_Operation Operator, and where we can define the UNION of two INGRPs, knowing thier similar names of properties (p1, p2, p3).
2. an Input from a query
Also, can we make a default match between INGRP and OUTGRP based on the properties order?
Many thanks in advance
Zineek

Hi
The SQL to mapping expert on teh blog below has a lot of OMB for the various mapping operators;
http://blogs.oracle.com/warehousebuilder/entry/sql_and_owb_accelerated_map_co
Here is a fabricated example where you can see how the operator is constructed it UNIONs EMP and EMP2 writing the result in TGTEMP
OMBALTER MAPPING $map_name ADD SET_OPERATION OPERATOR 'UNION1' SET PROPERTIES (SET_OPERATION) VALUES ('UNION')
OMBALTER MAPPING $map_name \
ADD CONNECTION FROM ATTRIBUTE 'EMPNO' OF GROUP 'INOUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'EMP' TO GROUP 'INGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'UNION1' \
ADD CONNECTION FROM ATTRIBUTE 'ENAME' OF GROUP 'INOUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'EMP' TO GROUP 'INGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'UNION1' \
ADD CONNECTION FROM ATTRIBUTE 'EMPNO' OF GROUP 'INOUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'EMP2' TO GROUP 'INGRP2' OF OPERATOR 'UNION1' \
ADD CONNECTION FROM ATTRIBUTE 'ENAME' OF GROUP 'INOUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'EMP2' TO GROUP 'INGRP2' OF OPERATOR 'UNION1' \
ADD CONNECTION FROM ATTRIBUTE 'EMPNO' OF GROUP 'OUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'UNION1' TO ATTRIBUTE 'SAL' OF GROUP 'INOUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'TGTEMP' \
ADD CONNECTION FROM ATTRIBUTE 'ENAME' OF GROUP 'OUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'UNION1' TO ATTRIBUTE 'ENAME' OF GROUP 'INOUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR 'TGTEMP'

Good MVC-based Struts modular application example

I am searching for some good modular applications in Struts as a reference for the applications we are making. It is hard to find really good examples. Most are too simple with only 2 struts-config.xml files. Also validation, tiles and MessagesResources.properties should be included.
Even in this URL: http://sourceforge.net/projects/struts I am not able to find a good example.
We developed several rather complex modular applications in Struts, but we would like to have a good modular application reference...

How to search for a file?

Hi I am currently using the below code to detect a file automaticaly in a thumbdrive. So currently I have to state the path directory to detect the particular file. Is there a way to search for the file in the thumbdrive using Java?
public class Detect {
public static void main(String[] args)
File f = new File("f:\\");
while (! f.exists())
try { Thread.sleep(500); }
catch (InterruptedException e) {}
System.out.println("drive inserted!");
}

You'll need to recursively search through a top directory and all its subdirectories for all files. Here is a link how to do this.
http://www.javapractices.com/Topic68.cjp
You can search for all drives A through Z for the file (using something like new File("F:") and catching the exception if not found (and dont do anything with the exception). But exclude C and D drive since they are usually hard drives and take forever to search through. Also, you may want to use File.separator instead of '/" or '\' in your code since windowsXP uses one while Unix uses the other and you would want your code to be able to run on either operating system.
Are you building a web page with this? if so, it will not work since your search code would be running on the server and not on the client's machine. Even if you were able to run it on the client machine via his browser, you cant because of security reasons (end users dont want to give you access to thier drives). If its a web page, look into file upload html tag called <input type="file". This allows the end-user to navigate on his machine to where the file is and download it without you having to search for it.
If you writing an application instead of a web page, I think there is an applet you can use that will do the same thing as <input type="file".
Searching though a directory structure isn't good since it takes too long for users t wait.

Is there a good example of a shuttle item?

Hello,
I am looking for a good example of a shuttle:
How to populate a Left side, Right site and a Merge to save results.
Left side should have all available options, except the ones that User already have.
Right side should have only options that User already have.
Both sides of shuttle should be populated on page load with Options names, not IDs.
Using apex 4.2
If there is any demo app with a shuttle that would be helpful too.
Thank you.
Added some clarifications.
