Environment variables in Ubuntu

/etc/environment

That file holds all global, system wide variables. No shell required.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables

Update:
Well, too bad, tomcat6 in Ubuntu does not picks them up. :-(
Anyway, setenv.sh to the rescue.

date(now())>date(2011,07,03)

Cisco ICM script can check today's date. Sweet.

This is my default BuildConfig.groovy from now on

Took some time to fine tune it.
- prod war exports to appName.war without app version

- build and runtime features hsqldb version 2.2.4 instead of the 1.8 which is included with Grails and unusable since I need to use more sophisticated SQL commands like MERGE - just to make sure, the lib directory contains hsqldb-2.2.4.jar (and not hsqldb.jar - this is but a simple change of the file name).

Good job, Apache. Tomcat 7.0.16 default screen looks cool.

They did not touch it for years. It looked ugly, not Web 2.0 like at all.
Now everything is different. Looks like they hired a new designer.

Thanks, STS for "Select a workspace"

This was turned back on in the latest release of Springsource Toolsuite 2.7.1.

The previous version did not ask anything. Argh.

Google 404

GOOGLE! Y U NO FOUND SOMETHING?

BIRT! Column! Width! Must! Be! Set!

Alright, just to show you how ugly it may look in Excel (I have the 2010 version installed) if a BIRT report does not have the width property set for the column:

Ugly ugly ugly ugly (actually, the first two are alright, they DO have the width set to 40 mm).

It's but a simple change, but the difference is subtle:

Oh, by the way, I tried out the Tribix XLS emitter for BIRT. It actually worked, but I decided to remove it because it created bad looking XLS files.
