I saw that many blogs still refer that you have to add many dependencies to use Hibernate which confused me a lot. Also JBoss recently started to sync their repository with the Maven repository. So there is no need to add another JBoss repository to your pom.xml.

Maven Hibernate Core Dependencies

Here is a snippet:

<dependency>
 <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
  <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
  <version>3.6.3.Final</version>
</dependency>

	/**
	 * Method to measure elapsed time since start time until now
	 * @param startTime Time of start in milliseconds
	 * @return Elapsed time in seconds as Long
	 */
	public static long stopWatch(long startTime) {
		long endTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
		endTime = endTime-startTime;

		long seconds =
						TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(endTime) -
						TimeUnit.MINUTES.toSeconds(
								TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(endTime)
						);

		return seconds;
	}

Example:

long startup = System.currentTimeMillis();

Thread.sleep(3000);

System.out.println("This took " + stopWatch(startup) + " seconds.");

This will result in This took 3 seconds.

/**
* Method to join array elements of type string
* @author Hendrik Will, imwill.com
* @param inputArray Array which contains strings
* @param glueString String between each array element
* @return String containing all array elements seperated by glue string
*/
public static String implodeArray(String[] inputArray, String glueString) {

/** Output variable */
String output = "";

if (inputArray.length > 0) {
	StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
	sb.append(inputArray[0]);

	for (int i=1; i<inputArray.length; i++) {
		sb.append(glueString);
		sb.append(inputArray[i]);
	}

	output = sb.toString();
}

return output;
}

Usage example:

String[] stringArray = {"String1", "String2", "String3"};
System.out.println(implodeArray(stringArray, ","));

This will print out String1, String2, String3.

The same method would be possible with an array of any other type for example an int Array.

If you connect  your phone to your computer via USB you will be asked to install a USB driver for ADB.
You will point the installer to your \android-sdk-directory\usb_driver\ but it won’t be able to find a matching driver.

Find \android-sdk-directory\usb_driver\android_winusb.inf and open it with your favorite text editor.
Now find the line with [Google.NTx86] and [Google.NTamd64]

Enter the following after both of these lines:

;HTC Desire
%SingleAdbInterface%        = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C87
%CompositeAdbInterface%     = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C87&MI_01
;

Save the file and try again to install the drivers. Point the installer to \android-sdk-directory\usb_driver\. Do not choose one of the sub directories.

I wanted to automate the process of importing/exporting specific MySQL database tables.In the next step I wanted to update and commit the data to SVN. After a quick research I found the JAVA lib svntask which is based on SVNKit very useful.

The only disadvantage in my opinion is that there is almost no documentation yet. To help other developers to get off on the right foot and save some time I’ll give some examples in the following section.

SVN update example:

<!-- SVN update -->
<target name="svn-update">
	<svn>
		<update
			path="/workspace/path"
			force="false" recursive="false"
		/>
	</svn>
</target>

Optional arguments you can use are recursive(default: true) and force(default: true).

SVN add example:

<!-- SVN add -->
<target name="svn-add">
	<svn>
		<add
			path="/workspace/project"
			force="false"
		/>
	</svn>
</target>

Optional boolean arguments are force, mkdir, climbUnversionedParents, includeIgnored and makeParents(default for all except mkrdir is true).

SVN commit example:

With version 1.0.7 authentication failed for me. So I added the username/password authentication to the commit class. You can get the temporary version here until the next update of svntask.

<!-- SVN Commit -->
<target name="svn-commit">
	<!-- don't store password in property files, use input  -->
	<input
		message="Enter SVN password:"
		addproperty="svn.password"
	 />
	<svn>
		<commit
			path="/workspace/project/trunk"
			commitMessage="Test commit"
			force="true"
			username="user" password="${svn.password}"
		/>
	</svn>
</target>

Optional boolean arguments are keepLocks and force.

SVN ls update example:

<!-- SVN ls -->
<target name="svn-ls">
	<svn>
		<ls
			repository="http://domain.tld"
			path="/svn/repos/project/trunk"
		/>
	</svn>
</target>

Optional argument is delimeter(default: , ).

SVN info example:

<!-- SVN info -->
<target name="svn-info">
	<svn>
		<info
			path="/workspace/project/trunk"
			committedRevisionProperty="revisionVersion"
			authorProperty="revisionAuthor"
			committedDateProperty="revisionDate"
		/>
	</svn>
	<!-- show revision, author and date -->
	<property
		name="version"
		value="At revision ${revisionVersion} by ${revisionAuthor} on ${revisionDate}"
	/>
	<echo message="${version}"/>
</target>

I didn’t use log, status and switch so far. I will post examples if I will use it in the future.
