EasyEclipse: Eclipse with a human face on Kickstarter

Yes, it is "enhanced" paid version to Eclipse for Java. Moreover, it is planned not just a one-time fundraising on kickstarter, and even do the selling of the licensed version in the future. This was to be expected, and (IMHO) here is why:

the
    the
  • the Eclipse development environment for Java developers practically stopped. Of course, supported the new standards, everything works smoothly and fast, but something is missing. The Eclipse Foundation is primarily solves the problems of large companies and the convenience of the users strength remains;
    • the
  • at the same time, Eclipse is a powerful platform, and part of the problem to solve is quite simple;
    • the
  • for example Intellij Idea, you can see that programmers are willing to pay for the IDE if it is convenient to work. Therefore, it is possible to try such a model and with Eclipse.

In fact, EasyEclipse for Java.

Who is behind this? Pascal Rapicault — developer and one of the architects of the Eclipse, plus two other people. And, although EasyEclipse and is not an official project of the Eclipse Foundation, a part of the code will have to committing in Eclipse, or to negotiate with other teams, so they have something added or corrected. So part of the money collected will go to the developers of Eclipse.

What they want to do? first, release build of Eclipse, which is out of the box supported Java, Git, SVN, CVS, XML, HTML, CSS, Ant, Maven, review the default settings and UI and make it more user friendly. (And don't ask why, for example, integration with SVN is not included in the standard Eclipse or do not want, or can't because of the license; but in all EasyEclipse). What else? Add different whistles type "Tips and Tricks", a global search; more template code; then remove the excess from the menu and toolbar and modify a file.

This is only part of the ideas that Pascal is going to push the release of the (approximately — December, 2014 but the beta will be early and often). There are other ideas, but they will require more time. Getting feedback from users, statistics, etc. — are planned.

whatever happened to Eclipse? He's not going anywhere. EasyEclipse is not a fork, all the changes in the platform will go to opencores and whistles, apparently, will remain proprietary.

Fly or not? a Vote on kickstarter, you need to collect 120K in 45 days. Will the Eclipse Foundation, if slightly miss — I do not know; but the main thing is to see if there is any interest.

Templates ESKD and GOST 7.32 for Lyx 1.6.x

Изображение
for more than six months I use a word processor Lyx. Built-in templates is more than enough to write lecture notes, prepare for seminars and to do simple reports for laboratory work. But last semester I had to make two course of the project in accordance with the requirements ESKD. I have begun work in Lyx, but without special templates of documents, my reports in the editor looked like this: A little work, a little reading of the document "Customizing LyX: Features for the Advanced User" and it turned out where the beam: You can use immediately. If you have experience of working in Lyx, problems will not arise. Just in case the attached sample documents. Description of how to make such templates are not yet doing. Someone will ask — will tell. ESKD Screenshot menu select unit type: Group "sections and subsections" appeared due to the fact that the document can be sections with sections without subsections — for their handling of para...

Monitoring PostgreSQL + php-fpm + nginx + disk using Zabbix

a Lot of information in the network according to Zabbix, and a lot of bespoke templates, I want to introduce to the audience his modification. Zabbix is a very convenient and flexible monitoring tool. Want a hundred monitor, I want a thousand stations, and do not want to — watch a single server, take the cream in all sections. I would not mind to give to github, if anyone collects similar. It so happened that we decided to put on the hosting database wrapper php-fpm+nginx. As the database is postgres. Thoughts to collect data on the machine was before the purchase of hosting is needed, this is useful! Magic kick up the backside to the implementation of the system gave the brakes a hard drive on our VDS stations at the beginning of the script every minute, put the time and measured by the speed in the file, and then build graphs in Excel to compare to as it was/became, take quantitative statistics. And this is just one option! And suddenly the fault is not VDS, and our a...

Custom table in MODx Revolution

In this article we will examine the following questions: the Creating custom tables for MODx Revolution. the Generation of XML schema and php files classes for xPDO. the Work with custom tables. One of the biggest difficulties in migrating from Evolution to Revolution — an xPDO IMHO. After all, as was previously just got into the muscle via phpMyAdmin, created a sign, and work with it, sending pure SQL queries through $modx->db. Now any changes to the database do not much bother $modx except full drop tables, etc. As linked xPDO and MODx (or rather $modx), I wrote here . Consider the difficulties in working with custom tables in MODx Revolution — a considerable obstacle for many programmers. But really, it's not so difficult. All of the following, the algorithm in three words: the via phpMyAdmin (or other convenient tool to use) to create the needed tables the Using the attached code is generated for the necessary work xPDO files the Using the $...
