Log4J

Apache Commons

I haven't used this much yet, but some things look interesting like EqualsBuilder.

TODO: build an equals builder that works on getters (as annotated via JPA) instead of private fields. I'd like this since in some of my Model objects, I store things in an internal hash instead of fields.

General Java

IntelliJ

We use an embedded JSP engine to generate emails and batch-generated HTML reports. As we moved these jsp files into the 'resources' class path, I wanted to configure IntelliJ to copy these files over to the target directory when compiling.

We also use other resources files like xsd, wav, etc.

This is easy ... just add another pattern to Settings => Compiler => Resource Patterns. All I had to do was add 

;?*.jsp;?*.xsd;?*.wav;?*.ttf;?*.ico;?*.dat;?*.txt

to the end of the line. The semi-colon is the separator.

Mac - Adjust PermGen space

  • Edit /Developer/Applications/IntelliJ IDEA 8.0.1.app/Contents/Info.plist and modify the VMOptions string towards the bottom.

Firebug and Firefox and Yahoo Mail

My Firefox was crashing whenever I closed a window/tab containing Yahoo Mail. I added "yahoo.com" to the disallowed sites and this seems to have fixed the problem.
