Unix Utils for Windows If you develop on Windows, and you use Microsoft's "cmd" to run Ant or compile your classes - you really should install Cygwin - it's much easier and provides the same functionality as cmd. Even better, Dan sent me an e-mail (can't find it now) about UnxUtils - Native Win32 ports of some GNU Utilities. You can even download an executable to install it. I dig it - symlinks that actually work on Windows. Posted in General at Nov 26 2003, 07:02:20 AM MST 3 Comments

Here is the relevant portion of the e-mail I had written: <blockquote style="border: 1px solid black; background-color: #F3E7D0; padding: 3px;">By the way, I have some potential content for your blog. At work I have to use Windows2000 (eeeek!) LINUXUNIL baby! Anyways, I get VERY frustrated if I can't grep, pipe, redirect or ls. I found this package called Unix Utils http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ and I cannot even quantify how much it helps me each day. The very ability to be able to redirect to a file in the windows shell has saved me tons of frustration with Explorer. Overall I just find that windows 2000 is so deprived of core features I would be better off with a typewriter. GNU saved the day.

Hi, It is true that JBoss-IDE only ships with EJB, Servlet, JMX and JBoss XDoclet modules. BUT you can easily drop any XDoclet modules you want. After a cache refresh, you get the corresponding tag completion. I suggest you to read the Install Guide (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jboss/Install-1.2.2.pdf?download) which describe how to install/upgrade XDoclet modules inside JBoss-IDE. Laurent.

Oops, I think I missed the point ;). My comment is related to the "My Favorite Eclipse Plugins (Download v1.0)" entry. Laurent.
