Year: 2012

  • Looking back, planning ahead

    Again a year has passed and it’s time to take a short look back and plan for the next year. A year ago I wrote that in the year 2012 the blog would be more active and I partly managed to keep up that promise with 9 articles. Not quite at least an article per…

    Insights to future workplace from Fujitsu Forum 2012

    This year my Autumn holiday was a bit different as I was one of the four bloggers who were invited by Fujitsu’s LIFEBOOK4Life campaign to visit Fujitsu Forum 2012 in Munich to hear about how the future workplace might look like and to experience new technologies to support that.

    Fujitsu Stylistic M532 review

    Tablets have become more and more common in recent years and I have thought about getting one but haven’t quite got myself to buying one. Too many choices and didn’t know if I really needed one.

  • Running FishEye & Crucible as a service in Linux

  • JSF 1.2 and getting selected value from dropdown

    JSF 1.2 has some weird features which you just have to know if you haven’t read the documents. One example is getting a value from h:selectOneMenu dropdown after onchange event. The first what comes to mind is to use binding attribute with RichFaces’ a4j:support for rerendering elements after the event but it doesn’t work like…

  • Eclipse and Maven Console

    Eclipse 3.7 Indigo has integrated Maven m2e plugin but is missing some expected functionality which was previously present in Sonatype releases by default. If you want your Maven Console to show something you must also install the optional “m2e – slf4j over logback logging” plugin. When installing the m2e plugin there is an optional feature…

  • Using CAcert.org signed certificates for TLS

    Setting up Transport Layer Security (TLS), or as previously known as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), for Apache, Postfix and IMAP like Dovecot is fairly easy. You just need some digital certificates and configuration. If you don’t want to pay for certificates from trusted sources like Thawte or you just don’t need that kind of trust…
