jdevloper not taking the latest changes – what to do?


Sometime when you do the changes and run the application the latest changes are not updated while running the application.

The culprit is the system folder.

{user_home}\system11.1.1.4.37.57.75\o.j2ee\drs\

has the exploded war file which will have the classes that is old. deleting the classes from the exploded directory would definitely fix the issue.

system folder not getting deleted… uffff


I am fed of this Jdeveloper.. Its behaving weird sometimes and will no listen to what I say..

quite many of us would feel the same way and there is only one way to fix this..

Deleting the system folder… 🙂

this post will tell the exact location where you can find the system folder in windows..

One issue that we face is that how much ever you try to delete sometime you will get

so what’s the reason:

This issue is because of the limitation in windows machine that the maximum length of the folder hierarchy is 255 to 260.. not sure about that but its less than 260 characters.. [path+filename]

and to identify in our system folder.. the following path violates the above max limits.

C:\Documents and Settings\{user_id}\Application Data\JDeveloper\system11.1.1.4.37.59.23\DefaultDomain\servers\DefaultServer\tmp\_WL_user\oracle.webcenter.framework.view

(all folders [3 mostly] that starts with oracle.webcenter.framework under _WL_user)

workaround:

move all the three folders that starts with oracle.webcenter.framework to much higher level .. say.. outside the actual system folder itelf.. [C:\Documents and Settings\{user_id}\Application Data\JDeveloper\].. and delete it..

now your system folder will get deleted easily.. 🙂

Creating a simple extension for jdeveloper


First you have to create a generic Application by selecting from File -> New -> General -> Generic Application

Name the application and create a new Extension project for the application by selecting File -> New -> Projects -> Extension Project

The Create Extension Project wizard will help you specify the project details

The new Extension project will have the structure like

The properties of the project is to be configured as shown in the figure

Open the extension.xml from META-INF folder. In the overview tab you will find General, Dependencies and Hooks panels

General – Will have all general information like name, version, owner etc

source:

Dependencies – Will have references to the extension dependencies. The classpath reference is also included

source:

Hooks – Will have the points at which the extension will be added to the Jdeveloper ide.

Each individual hook allows an extension to provide specific binding information to plug into different areas of an IDE. Here are the main areas where extensions plug-in:

  1. Menus and commands through the menu-hook,
  2. Document model through the document-hook,
  3. IDE events through the ide-listener-hook,
  4. Custom editors through the editor-hook,
  5. IDE preferences and project settings through the property-hook,
  6. Log pages through the log-hook
  7. New wizards through the wizard-hook, and
  8. The compiler through the build-system-hook.
  9. The feature-hook allows extensions to appear in an IDE’s extension management UI as features that can be enabled/disabled.
  10. The custom-hook and hook-handlers allows extensions to define their own extension points.

source:

Running the extension is to right-click the project and say Run Extension

The deployed extension will be seen from Tools menu and preferences

The sample project can be downloaded from here

For details on the tags in the extension.xml file, see the file JDEV_HOME/jdev/doc/extension/ide-extension-packaging.html

Bored of the same old Jdeveloper splash


If you get bored with the same old splash screen for jdeveloper, then go straightaway and modify the file from

${JDEV_HOME}/jdev/bin/splash.gif

Do not change the dimension. Look at mine  🙂

Keep playing…

How to change the default text title of Detached table/treetable


have trindad-skins.xml in your web-inf folder and have the following tag

<skin>
 <id>dummy.desktop</id> // you are overriding the style
 <family>dummy</family>
 <extends>fusion.desktop</extends> // this should be from the trinidad-config.cml
 <render-kit-id>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.desktop</render-kit-id>
 <style-sheet-name>skins/dummy/dummy.css</style-sheet-name>
 <bundle-name>oracle.view.resource.rich.SkinBundle</bundle-name> // your skin bundle to override the name
 </skin>

here dummy.css is used to override any visual property of the faces component defined in fusion theme
to override the label, use in the SkinBundle like (The java bundle file should be registered as a managed bean in adfc-config.xml)

package oracle.view.resource.rich;
 import java.util.ListResourceBundle;
public class SkinBundle
 extends ListResourceBundle
 {
 @Override
 public Object[] getContents()
 {
 return _CONTENTS;
 }

static private final Object[] _CONTENTS =
 {
 { "af_panelCollection.LABEL_DETACH_TABLE_DLG", "Any name for the Detachable Table" },
 { "af_panelCollection.LABEL_DETACH_TREE_TABLE_DLG", "Any name for the Detachable Tree Table" }
 };
 }
