My C# project - we'll call it the SuperUI - used to make use of a class from an external assembly. Now it doesn't, but the compiler won't let me build the project without the assembly reference in place. Let me elaborate. This project used to throw and catch a custom exception class - the SuperException - which was derived from the stan...
When developing a desktop application in .NET, is it possible to not require the .NET Framework? Is developing software in .NET a preferred way to develop desktop applications? What is the most used programming language that software companies use to develop desktop applications? Is the requirement of the .NET Framework just assumed b...
I have a .NET 2.0 application that has recently had contributions that are Service Pack 1 dependent. The deployment project has detected .NET 2.0 as a prerequisite, but NOT SP1. How do I include SP1 as a dependency/prerequisite in my deployment project? ...
We've embedded an OSGi runtime (Equinox) into out custom client-server application to facilitate plugin development and so far things are going great. We've been using Eclipse to build plugins due to the built-in manifest editor, dependency management, and export wizard. Using Eclipse to manager builds isn't very conducive to continuous ...
In Maven, dependencies are usually set up like this: <dependency> <groupId>wonderful-inc</groupId> <artifactId>dream-library</artifactId> <version>1.2.3</version> </dependency> Now, if you are working with libraries that have frequent releases, constantly updating the <version> tag can be somewhat annoying. Is there any way to ...
Is there a way of getting all required assemblies (excluding the .net framework) for a .net project into a folder ready to be packaged into an nsis as setup file? I've tried writing a small console app that uses reflection to get a list of dlls but have got stuck with finding a foolproof way of determining if a dll is from the .net fram...
What tool would you recommend to detect java package cyclic dependencies, knowing that the goal is to list explicitly the specific classes involved in the detected 'across-packages cycle' ? I know about classycle and JDepend , but they both fail to list the classes involved in a cyclic package dependency. Metrics has an interesting grap...
I hope I haven't painted myself into a corner. I've gotten what seems to be most of the way through implementing a Makefile and I can't get the last bit to work. I hope someone here can suggest a technique to do what I'm trying to do. I have what I'll call "bills of materials" in version controlled files in a source repository and I b...
I am working on a large C++ project in Visual Studio 2008, and there are a lot of files with unnecessary #include's. Sometimes the #include's are just artifacts and everything will compile fine with them removed, and in other cases classes could be forward declared and the #include could be moved to the .cpp file. Are there any good to...
Is there a tool to detect unneeded jar-files? For instance say that I have myapp.jar, which I can launch with a classpath containing hibernate.jar, junit.jar and easymock.jar. But actually it will work fine using only hibernate.jar, since the code that calls junit.jar is not reachable. I realize that reflection might complicate things,...
I can get easily see what projects and dlls a single project references from within a Visual Studio .NET project. Is there any application or use of reflection that can build me a full dependency tree that I can use to plot a graphical chart of dependencies? ...
In order to distribute a function I've written that depends on other functions I've written that have their own dependencies and so on without distributing every m-file I have ever written, I need to figure out what the full list of dependencies is for a given m-file. Is there a built-in/freely downloadable way to do this? Specifically ...
I'm using gcc to generate a dependency file but my build rules put the output into a subdirectory. Is there a way to tell gcc to put my subdirectory prefix in the dependency file it generates for me? gcc $(INCLUDES) -E -MM $(CFLAGS) $(SRC) >>$(DEP) ...
Hi, How do I get my project's runtime dependencies copied into the target/lib folder? As it is right now, after 'mvn clean install' the target folder contains only my project's jar, but none of the runtime depencies. Thanks, Michael ...
Any good tool to generate dependency diagram? Input: any simple format (not always source code) to describe dependency relation of several items. E.g. A depends on B, C; C depends on D, E ... Output: nicely organized dependency diagram. ...
I am interested in learning how dependency-based calculation engines work in practice. Of course, I can make up my own algorithm, but I was curious if there were any well explained algorithms that are used in practice. I have tried Google, but most articles are < "good". ...
In using our TeamCity Continuous Integration server we have uncovered some issues that we are unsure as to the best way to handle. Namely how to reference external applications that our application requires on the CI server. This was initially uncovered with a dependency on Crystal Reports, so we went and installed Crystal Reports on t...
Consider a normal customer-orders application based on MVC pattern using WinForms. The view part has grown too much (over 4000 files) and it needs to be split into smaller ones. For this example we are going to use 3 projects for the view part: Main - has dependencies to the other 2 projects. Instantiates the forms with the lists. C...
Hello, I'm calling a non-.NET dll from my project using P/Invoke, meaning that the .dll must always be present in the .exe's directory. Is there any way to tell Visual Studio of this dependency, so that it will automatically copy the .dll to the output directory when compiling, and will automatically include the .dll in the setup? Or ...
I am writing a component that, given a ZIP file, needs to: Unzip the file. Find a specific dll among the unzipped files. Load that dll through reflection and invoke a method on it. I'd like to unit test this component. I'm tempted to write code that deals directly with the file system: void DoIt() { Zip.Unzip(theZipFile, "C:\\fo...
