Eclipse Platform Runtime Binary

Although, it is on the web, it is not easier to get a basic/minimal Eclipse installer.

You need to go to: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/
and get the desired version.

i.e.: 4.5 Luna: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.5-201506032000/


There you can find several basic binaries, such us, SDK, Plug-ins, SDK-RPC, etc.

The smallest is: Platform Runtime Binary

More details in each binary: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.5-201506032000/details.html#PlatformRuntime

Anyway, if you want this basic version to install another plug-ins, such us, Dynamic Languages Toolkit then you need to download another version (it is not sufficent with only PLatform Runtime Binary).

Eclipse Search replacing window

A default annoying feature for Search in Eclipse that can be customized thru Preferences:

The domain http://www.monson-haefel.com/ seems to be lost by Monson-Haefel and for the same reason the Errata page of his bestselling J2EE Web Services http://www.monson-haefel.com/jws_errata.html

Although, it is JAX-RPC and kind of old for current days, still is a good knowledge repository.

Wonders of Numbers: Adventures in Mathematics, Mind, and Meaning

Fe de Errata

Small Errata for Hardcover First Edition of Wonders of Numbers: 

 
page 205, boxed equation, Chapter 89, near bottom: "c" should be superscripted

page 358, Chapter 89, 2nd line in Further Exploring: "c" should be superscripted

page 216, Chapter 95, line 3, missing upside-down F symbol. Should read "F(24)" not "(24)", where the "F" is the upside-down symbol. Similarly line 2 should read "Let's define a new function F(n)."

OC4J: org.apache.xml.dtm.ref.DTMManagerDefault cannot be cast to org.apache.xml.dtm.DTMManager

When using JDK 1.6 the following CastException may be obtained:

 org.apache.xml.dtm.ref.DTMManagerDefault cannot be cast to org.apache.xml.dtm.DTMManager

This is because we are using different Xalan.

 [06/03/2015 11:42:52,105] com.sample.AutenticaAction.execute(AutenticaAction.java:331) - Error = java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.xml.dtm.ref.DTMManagerDefault cannot be cast to org.apache.xml.dtm.DTMManager

This was replicated in OC4J 10.1.3.3.0 because we are using different xalan.jar

Comprehending RegExp:

This is a classic regexp book !!!
that every programmer must read.

Even, if you already manage regexp, and took a compiler course at college, still there are several tips that may help you a lot in this area, including bounding cases: Greediness and Laziness Always Favor a Match, Speed and Efficiency, Summary: NFA and DFA in Comparison, Among others good titles (details of lookahead, lookbehinds, Posix regexps, etc.).

Also, provides some common examples that each coder must face in several projects: recognition of IP address, emails, etc., although this is not a cookbook, always is useful to see coding examples after theory However this is likelihood not as important as was 10 years ago (because there is a lot of examples in the net and cookbooks).  A look to how to add benchmarking in different platforms -languages- and optimization for regexps. As usual, you can go directly to any chapter related to your favorite implementation/language.

Perhaps, after eight years, it could consider some current RE frameworks, including those that use NFA, such us, ICU Regular Expressions, Automaton, etc. (this way the spectrum of examples is better). Although this paradigm of  never-ending engines are commented in the book, always is good to have an update (well, at least after five years).
