Eclipse Mylyn and Mantis Connect location

I am setting up the excellent Eclipse Mylyn project to synchronize with our Mantis repository. It is worth noting that Mantis Connect has been a standard part of the Mantis bugtracker since version 1.1.0a4.
This also means that the location of the mantisconnect.php is different than what is suggested by the Mantis Connector – You will find the mantisconnect.php in the /api/soap/ folder of your mantis installation, rather than in /mc/.

Changing the default values of the messages of the Apache FtpServer

I’ve had the chance to work quite a bit with the Apache FtpServer lately. I quite like it:

  • Very easy to customize (implementing your own user manager, file system and the somewhat powerful ftplets – and more)
  • Extremely simple to embed (think jetty)

Pretty much the two requirements for our project. Another requirement was to be able to add a welcome message, and to alter the help message. The Apache FtpServer website has a page dedicated to ftp server messages. However after close inspection, it is quite lacking in detail as to how to actually change the default messages. There is no information on how to name your message bundle, how it should look nor how to add one programatically.

Simple dynamic loading/unloading of code in java

I’ve written a small snippet/tutorial on how to do some dynamic loading and unloading of classes “the simple way”. This is especially useful for updating a service that needs to stay on-line.
This should provide a useful starting point.

trace(“hello world”);
