StelsCSV v3.0 – a Fast JDBC Driver for CSV/Text Files
Unfortunately it isn’t open source and/or free but I can certainly see the uses for a JDBC driver that acts on plain text files. I cannot count the number of times I have written routines for parsing text files during migration projects. Could this be the answer. Imagine being able to simply JOIN data from different text files! Nice!! Licenses start at 109 USD.

Notes/Domino 6 and 7 Forum: Multilanguage default forms
I would really hope I could answer Christian on this one (Notes/Domino 6 and 7 Forum: Multilanguage default forms) though I have been experiencing similar problems myself with the Danish translation of the standard mail template. Most of the times it works but if it breaks you’re in for a lot of fustrations.
More IBM Blog technotes
As mentioned the other day Steve’s writing technotes and apparently it doesn’t stop with the one. Just saw to couple more in the Lotus Support RSS feed:
Test case coverage reports using Cobertura
Looking for a code coverage tool for your test driven development but don’t want to shell out the money for Clover? Check out Cobertura. I found it while perusing the list of fixed bugs for Jakarta Commons Lang 2.2 – if a project like Jakarta Commons goes for it it must be okay.
Show ‘n Tell Thursday: Removing the slash screen from Sametime 7.5 (5 October 2006)
Since Sametime 7.5 is built upon the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) you can hack it as such. In Eclipse RCP programs the slash screen is a configurable component which led me to believe it could be removed. And I was right. The below guidelines are for Windows but should be applicable to other platforms as well.
To not display the slash screen at startup do as follows:
- Open your Windows Explorer and navigate to your Sametime 7.5 installation directory (C:Program FilesIBMSametime 7.5)
- Open the “configuration” directory
- Open the config.ini file in your favorite editor
- Remove the second line of the file (the one starting with “osgi.splashPath”) or comment it out by inserting a #-character at the start of the line
- Save and close the file
When restarting Sametime the slash screen should be gone.
Happy days! Please note that this approach probably isn’t supported but hey – shouldn’t it be a configurable option in the first place? 😉

Domiclipse
I know I’m quite late to the party but I finally got around to downloading and installing Domiclipse in Eclipse due to Bens post and I must say that it is very nice! There was a little caveat in the the installation via the Update Site in that I had to uncheck the “Ignore features not applicable for this environment” setting on the second page of the dialogbox to have all three components show up. Otherwise I would get a “missing required component error” during the install. In my defence it wasn’t the most logical setting to disable. 🙂
Anyways – it’s up and running. Nice!! I got to go grab the source code I think.

C# for the Java developer
Will probably have to do some coding in C# one of these days so I’d better start reading up. Found an article via Google which looks like a promising no-nonsence way to start: A COMPARISON OF MICROSOFT’S C# PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE TO SUN MICROSYSTEMS’ JAVA PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE by Dare Obasanjo.
