• Getting Started with Eclipse and the SWT

    Getting Started with Eclipse and the SWT is a very nice set of introductory tutorial on working with SWT and Eclipse in general. The tutorials cover the basic, advanced SWT widgets, SWT layout, and several other interesting topics.
  • A Blue Obelisk blog Planet

    Today I setup a blog planet for Blue Obelisk members. First I tried Chumpologica but it did not read Atom feeds.
  • Open Source Swing: Jmol renderer runs!

    Where I was able to mention earlier that JChemPaint now runs with free (as in open source) Java virtual machines, I just tried to run the core Jmol renderer, using the Integration.java which comes as an example.
  • Machine crash; SVN went along

    Doesn’t happen often, but my machine crashed two hours ago. Not a big deal, because I have my important files in SVN. Oh wait, SVN had a commit in progress during the crash. So, svn recover. Mmmm… doesn’t work either. OK, SVN FAQ: try db_recover. That worked. No, it did not: svn commit still not working for the files I was trying to commit.

    This evening I have been looking at with the KNOPPIX customization howto, and ran many of the interesting commands. I’ve setup a environment with Kalzium, OpenBabel, CDK, jython, PyMOL, and for development I included gcj and Eclipse. At some later point I will include kfile_chemical too, but I want to make a deb package first.
