Simplest way to make an .ini

What's the simplest way to make and use an .ini file
that would contain data like
param = value
to be easily modified using every text editor?
And would recognize specific comment tags or symbols?
(ResourceBundle?)
Thank you, Boris.

...Simplest way to make Jar Files...

I know there have been numerous questions about jar files and that this has probably been answered before. I am using Forte to develop a program. The program runs fine in Forte, and I used the jar packager to create a jar file. When I double click this file, nothing happens though. I can execute other jar files I have downloaded from the net, but for some reason the ones I create don't work. What is the simplest way to package the classes into a jar file so that I can run my program when I double click it?

I don't know about double-clicking it to run - that involves making a file association (in Windows) to associate a program with a file type - although I assume you've already done this if you doubleclick others and they run.
In the case with your own jars it sounds like you need to add a manifest file with the 'Main-class' attribute set to the name of the class that you want to run from the jar.
eg
Main-class: YourPackage.YourClass
The manifest.mf needs to be in a meta-inf dir inside your jar.
If you open your other jars that do work you will see an example of the manifest.mf file, and the 'Main-class' attribute.
Also - check in the jdk docs in the tools section - this should tell you all you need to know about the 'jar' tool.
Hope this helps,

What is the simplest way to make a movie from BufferedImages?

I have a 3d rendered animation from which I can grab BufferedImages of each frame. What is the simplest way I can create a movie from these images?
I've seen the JpegImagesToMovie.java file and not only is it suprisingly overcomplicated, it requires me to change the code so that I can get images from memory rather than from files.
Is there some simple way of creating a movie which requires a few statements? I'm also prepared to use QuickTime for Java. I don't care about the format, since I can just use any video converter to convert it to my desired video format.

I recently came up with a simplified JpegImagesToMovie program. It generates QuickTime movies with a single video track output as a file. Input is a series of jpegs (currently as a list of file names, but easily modified to a take any form of jpeg data.) Since the compression used by the movie is JPEG, if you have an uncompressed image buffer, you'll need to convert that into jpeg data bytes with some quality setting. (Since its a movie file, go with something low if you have a lot of similar images.) This will even run without a full install of jmf--no native code is called (as far as I could tell..)
Here is the source code, sorry about the formatting!

What is the simplest way to make and upload video to YouTube?

I’m a video novice trying to figure this out. We want to start making short customer testimonial videos and upload them to YouTube as part of a social media marketing campaign. I want to come up with a solution that is fast and easy, takes as little time as possible. On the recommendation of an associate I bought a Flip Video camera and that worked beautifully except for one problem, the audio volume of the recordings was ridiculously low. So am returning that.
We have a Panasonic PV-GS65 and I can use that, but the only way I've figured out how to make a video there and get it onto my computer is to connect it to iMovie, let it play/load into iMovie, then from there I don’t know how to get it uploaded to YouTube but I'm guessing I have to do some formatting/compressing, then manually upload, and that is all way more hassle than I'm looking for.
I LOVED the simplicity of the Flip Video approach. Shoot it, the camera directly in, select the video, push the upload button and it was done. If the audio quality was better I'd use that for sure.
Any suggestions? If there’s something similar to Flip Video that I can buy cheap and use, I'll do it. If there’s an easy way to use our current camcorder, that’s fine too. But I can’t be messing around for 10-15 minutes trying to import, format and then upload this stuff. I have a business to run.
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks!

that will work if necessary, but it still more steps and more time consuming than my ideal solution.
Would love to find something that makes the process as simple as Flip Video does.
Man, if their microphone was just a bit more sensitive, that solution would’ve been perfect.

Whats the simplest way to make a wrapper for 90 image graphic novel?

Hi. I have a graphic novel I want to convert into an app. There is some debate on what is the best route to go. It will have appx 90 images, so the images need to be unloaded as you go so memory is not an issue. The only controls are forward, back, and a button link to the app store, and a button link to the website. It needs additional memory management to make the last page viewed resume if the reader comes back after being interrupted. I have been told i need to work with uiscrollview and paging enabled, I was just looking to see if anyone had a simpler idea, or knew of code that was similar. Ths scrolling app is almost there, I am just unsure of how to adjust the code for images that fit the screen, as well as adding in the memory management features.
Thanks for the help!

An intuos II to whoever solves this program!
The pagecontrol.app sample app has most of what is needed.
Things that remain are:
1) intelligent unloading of images to reduce memory
2) a simple way to handle any number of prenamed images (possibly 100)
3) data persistence so that resuming the app brings you back to the last page viewed
4) a button on the first page to call a url in safari

Simplest way to make Motion Title Template

I'm transitioning from FCP/Suite to Adobe Suite and am ironing out the 'why doesn't X work' frustrations one by one pretty successfully...except for when it comes to Titles.
For one of my clients, I have created a rather basic lower third template so I can quickly do multiple titles for segments that contain 5-12 interviews. Basically it's a short 6 second Quicktime lower third animated movie with text fading in/out. Very basic. Very easy to create in both Motion and After Effects. And in Motion/FCP I could save it as a template and then use it repeatedly (even copy and paste it within a sequence to save time).
I am having a devil of a time doing something similar in Premiere Pro. Through various readings on the forum I've learned that the Title function in PP is limited to stills. I've read suggestions to create a mini-project and import it (and the sequence) into whatever new project I'm creating.
Problem I keep coming across is that no matter what I do, I can only create one title this way as any secondary copy references the original and any change to one, changes them all (changing the name, for example).
So far the only thing that seems to work is creating individual titles in After Effects (changing the name/title) and saving them individually and importing them individually into PP. Which is very time consuming.
As I want to have the text fade in and out, creating a template for the text doesn't really do any good as I have to apply fade in/out at the appropriate spots.
Honestly, this is the major reason I have not fully commited to Premier Pro as I do too much of this kind of work and it takes a lot longer in PP than in FCP to do titles effectively.

First of all, I use After Effects to create motion in my lower thirds, but it you just want to set up the motion part in Ae and then change the text in Premiere Pro, that is easy enough. You are just missing a step.
You didn't say which version of Premiere Pro you are using. There are significant changes regarding this topic in CC.
In CS6, you just need to open a title that you want to copy, and before you change anything, select the "New Title Based on Current Title" button in the upper left of the title window.
In Premiere Pro CC (latest upgrade required) you can just use the instructions found here to duplicate the title so a new title will be created for you automatically. Much easier.

Proper way to make a timer

I'm needing to write a program that updates periodically...I'm assuming I could just make a thread sleep, but what would be the most proper and simplest way to implement this feature?

That would be proper. Slep for a while, wake up and do something and then go to sleep again. Just like me -:)

Simplest way to restrict access to remote EJB calls

I'm using weblogic 10.3 and I'm new to security in weblogic. I was looking at the documentation at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs103/ConsoleHelp/taskhelp/security/ManageSecurityForDD.html
but got a little overwhelmed by the many options on how to implement security. Plus, I am getting confused between JDNI security and EJB Layer security (they're not the same thing, right?)
Can someone explain what the simplest way would be to prevent an "unauthorized" client to make remote EJB calls? For example, I know of the ConnectionFilters that you can implement, which can prevent remote callers from making T3 or IIOP calls if they're not from an authorized IP, etc. This is a good start but ideally I would want to password protect the EJBs, and any EJB client would have to provide this username/password somehow. Or possibly use two-way SSL for t3? The client app would have to provide a certificate to prove that it's trusted.
To be clear, I don't think I need weblogic to handle any fine-grained access control. I just want to make sure that the client (e.g., a webapp) is a trusted one. Once the EJB container is satisfied that the client is trusted (preferably by user/pass) then the client is free to execute any EJB methods.
Thanks in advance.

I'm don't think you can do a posture check by MAC address. If you're using SSLVPN, and you're running Windows, you can do a Host Scan check for the following registry key:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Domain
Then set up a Pre-Login policy that goes Windows->Registry Check->Success->RegCheckOK
|->Fail->RegCheckFail
At this point you've just verified that you can read that key and the value is stored for later use. You're not making an allow/deny decision yet.
Then in your Dynamic Access policy you do a Policy check for Location=RegCheckFail, that says "Unable to read registry". The following DAP policy check looks for Location=RegCheckOK, and validates that the value is your AD domain.
Alternatively, you could put a NAC box (ISE or Clean Access) 'behind/after' the VPN box, so although anyone can connect only domain machines (and/or whatever other posture checks you want to make, e.g. Antivirus status) make it through to the rest of the network.

I want to load movies in to my iPad through itune in my pc that runs window XP. First of all I am not able to add the movies to the itune ,leave aside sync to iPad .can some one suggest what is the simplest way to load movies in my iPad.

I have plenty of DVD which I load in my laptop and watch the movies while travel, however I am not able to do that in my iPad .
I would appreciate some one guide me the simplest way of loading the movies in to my iPad. I tried the conventional procedure of loading/copying in to itune then sync to the iPad to load all movies in it, but failed to do the first step( not able to load /copy in itune) leave aside the sync to iPad next.
Do I need to sellout some 20 odd $ to buy a conversion software that would help?
Is it that Apple trying to make money by not making this simplest of thing possible by the user.( ref. windows, every thing is possible with little IQ of the user).
If it is so , I would stop many of my friends to restrain from buying a device like this by spending some 1000$ ,rather look at a good Droid that is catching up so well.

If you are the only user on your computer you probably don't have multiple user accounts set up and can disregard that. If you are using iTunes 11 go to View>Show Sidebar. Now see if your iPad appears under Devices on the left side when you connect it. If it does, click on the name of your iPad on the left side and your iTunes sync settings options will appear in folders with tabbed headings to the right.
If it doesn't appear on the left side, follow the troubleshooting steps shown in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.

Simplest way to protect the boot disk

I have a solaris T2000 machine.
It has two internal disks - and it boots off one of these. The disks are not in an hardware or software RAID configuration. There is nothing on the second disk that I cannot move. Please don't ask why this wasn't setup from the start - I had no control over it.
So, what is the simplest way of getting around this single point of failure with the minimum of disruption to the service the box provides?
1) To implement hardware RAID using raidctl would require a re-install of the OS - I do not want to have to do this
2) Is it possible to create a new disk from the SAN, copy the boot areas etc and make then make the machine boot from the SAN?
3) Use solaris volume manager to implement some kind of software RAID on the second disk?
4) The boot disk is currently an ufs file system - could we convert this to zfs and then implement zpool mirroring without the need for a reinstall?
Many thanks

In my opinion, the simplest is option 3. Here's some instructions on how to accomplish:
http://wikis.sun.com/display/BigAdmin/Mirroring+root+With+Solaris+Volume+Manager+in+the+Solaris+9+and+10+OS
However, if I were in your position, I would do option 4. Use liveupgrade to convert to zfs and use zpool mirroring.

Simplest way to transfer Contacts/Addresses to the Curve using iMac / Palm Desktop ?

I have a new 8300 Curve and approximately 1500 Contacts/Addresses in my iMac on Palm Desktop ( they are also in Palm handheld).
I am able to export these Contacts/Addresses to my iMac desktop in various formats: excel workbook, .csv Comma Delimited , .txt Text Delimited, vcard.
My computer is an intel iMac with OS X version 10.4.11.
What is the best/simplest way to transfer those Contacts/Addresses to the Curve?
Thanks
Dan

Hi,
OMG! I know how it feels when we got our all contacts in a tabular formatted file which is created in excel, CSV formatted file and unfortuntealy all the blackberry phones arre abel to rectify only vCard formatted file. This is the reason when i was facing the same problem than at that point of time i find out a simple and free download software which can convert contacts from excel to vCard file format. here is the complete step by step instructions http://www.exceltovcard.onlinetechaid.com/ and you can download it free. after converting contacts you just have to follow a simple set of instructions which i am going to mention it below and you are able to use all these contacts in your curve or also in another Blackberry phone. so the instructions are :
(i) Copy all the contacts in your Memory Card.
(ii) Now open your file manager
(iii) select memory card
(iv) open the location where you save all the contacts in vCard formatted file
(v) Now click on options in your blackberry phone select "Select All"
(vi) After that click on addd to contacts.
Just try these simple way and you are able to use all your contacts in your Blackberry phone and make your life simple.

Simplest way to disassemble the multiple xml records to single xml record?

Guys,
I just want to know the what can be the simplest way to disassemble the input xml file into single records.
Can we use built in XML disassemble component in custom pipeline to disassemble? If yes, how can we do it.
Or what is other way to do it.

Why you don't want to use Envelop Schema? Is there any specific reason for that?
Creating envelope schema won't be a tough task you just need to make Envelop property of Schema to Yes and set Body Xpath to the container record for the child records you wish to process individually.
Also you will have to create schema representing your child xml structure.
Refer
this article, it gives step by step description of the same.
Also, as John suggested you don't even have to create a custom pipeline as the debatching can be done using default XML Receive pipeline itself.
Let us know if you have any further question.
Thanks,
Prashant

Quick simple way to make something look isometric?

I'm working on a card game where I want to make my straight on designed cards look isometric. Does anyone have the quickest/simplest way to do this with the 3D tool in photoshop? I imagine it's something like Postcard, and then using the orthographic, with some angles set? I've had a try but can't get it right.
Thanks for any advice.

You may want to review the Wikipedia entry on isometric projection to get some inspiration regarding the numbers you seek:
Excerpts:
An isometric view of an object can be obtained by choosing the viewing direction in a way that the angles between the projection of the x, y, and z axes are all the same, or 120°. For example when taking a cube, this is done by first looking straight towards one face. Next the cube is rotated ±45° about the vertical axis, followed by a rotation of approximately ±35.264° (precisely arcsin(tan 30°) or arctan(sin 45°) ) about the horizontal axis. Note that with the cube (see image) the perimeter of the 2D drawing is a perfect regular hexagon: all the black lines are of equal length and all the cube's faces are the same area. There is isometric paper that can be placed under your normal piece of drawing paper as an aid.
In a similar way an isometric view can be obtained for example in a 3D scene editor. Starting with the camera aligned parallel to the floor and aligned to the coordinate axes, it is first rotated downwards around the horizontal axes by about 35.264° as above, and then rotated ±45° around the vertical axis.

Simplest way to connect 2 Macs?

I just received a new MacBook Pro which along with a new iMac will go with my daughter to college soon.
What is the simplest way for her to connect the two together so that she can transfer files? She's planning on using the MacBook Pro do a lot of traveling studies, the iMac will reside in her dorm and will be the "main" computer (constantly connected to the school network).

Just a thought here -- you know that you can reduce some computing costs and make the data management a bit easier if her dorm "base station" is merely an external drive to run Time Machine backups and an external monitor & keyboard powered by her laptop. That's what 3 of us do in my office. Then there will be only one computer to maintain/update regularly, she won't have to worry about which computer has which versions of which files, and the Time Machine backup will have her data backed up in the event of a hardware firewall or theft.
To that set up, at home I also have an 2.5" laptop drive in an external enclosure to which I periodically clone my laptop drive. In the event that I go to lunch and someone makes off with both my laptop and my Time Machine. Or, more likely, when the laptop drive fails (they all do, eventually), I have a clone almost ready to go; I'll swap the two drives and then use the Time Machine backup for the window between the last clone and the HD failure.
