I'm developing a site-specific Firefox extension. The official hosting/updating mechanism at addons.mozilla.org forces my users to login to download my plugin (until it get approved for public status), which isn't good for me, especially as my plugin is unlikely to be deemed useful to the web at large and will be stuck in the sandbox for...
Is it possible to deploy a WPF windows application in such a way that the xaml files can be manipulated at run-time? If possible, I would imagine this would work similar to an asp.net application that can deploy the .aspx pages as content, which are then compiled just-in-time at run-time. I'd like to allow the simple layout of a screen...
How to pack python libs I'm using so I can distribute them with my app and have as few dependencies as possible and also not to conflict with different lib/version that is already on my system.

Hi! Is there some smart way to retreive the installation path when working within a dll (C#) which will be called from an application in a different folder? I'm developing an add-in for an application. My add-in is written in C#. The application that will use is written in C and needs to compile some stuff during evaluation, so I have ...
Suppose you have several applications which share the same code and most of the other resources, but have a somewhat different look and feel, some labels change, etc. (think branding). If each web app is to go in its own WAR file, where do you put the shared resources? I already use the classpath to share classes and property files. Bu...

Our company (xyz) is moving a lot of our Flash code to Python. In Flash, we have a shared library between our Flash apps - package xyz. We can make changes to the package without fear of breaking other apps when they are deployed because Flash compiles their code and includes the contents of the library. We deploy the final SWF via RPM,...
I'm unfamiliar with Pocket PC development, but I have to make a few minor changes to an VS2005, Pocket PC 2003 Device application. One of the changes (which I thought would be trivial) is changing the text of app's shortcut, but I can't figure out where this text is set. The solution includes a setup project, so I'm looking for it in t...
I am writing a deployment script using MSBuild. I want to clean my web directories prior to copying all the new files in. My current "Clean" target looks like this: <Target Name="Clean"> <Exec Command="del %(DeploymentSet.LocalWebRoot)\* /Q /F /S" IgnoreExitCode="true" /> </Target> This takes an considerable amount of time as e...
I have a J2EE project in Eclipse 3.2 and at the end of every build I want to automatically create and deploy a WAR file. At the moment I have to do this by hand which is 5 or 6 mouse-cliks and it would be nice to automate it. I know I can do this with a custom build script using ANT but I am hoping for an Eclipse native solution. I ha...

But under Windows Vista, the program is unable to write to the directory because the UAC restricts administrative privileges. I need to be able to do the following Write a file in the folder where the p...
I have three custom build configurations { Dev, Qs, Prd }. So, I have three app configs { Dev.config, Qs.config, Prd.config }. I know how to edit the .csproj file to output the correct one based on the current build configuration. <Target Name="AfterBuild"> <Delete Files="$(TargetDir)$(TargetFileName).config" /> <Copy SourceFiles=...
I've recently gotten charged with designing and implementing a source code version control, testing, and deployment scheme at the company I work. Personally I've worked with Subversion for a few years on my own projects. But I've never dealt with it at this big scale. Hence I thought I'd ask here if anyone has any comments or suggestion...
I have 6 servers that i need to deploy my ASP.NET web application to. While deploying enhancements, I usually remove 3 from the cluster, deploy the app, put them back in rotation, and remove the other 3 and do the same. What is the best practise that you would follow to minimize/eliminate any customer impact when you are deploying app...
Aside from DeployerFTP, are there any plugins that offer the ability to deploy a project to an FTP location? I would love a way to do this on an individual file basis, possibly even storing the FTP information within each project. ...
I have been tasked with helping the deployment of a Phase 2 of a previous SharePoint deployment. The original deployment has custom workflows that have been updated in phase 2. Is there a "How-To" for this type of situation? Some of the pitfalls we have seen requires you to mark the original workflow to not accept any new instances, th...
First, let me use one sentence to let out some frustration: My god, developing for SharePoint is a f-ing mess! OK, sorry, let me focus in on 1 specific scenario. I've developed (VS2005) some functionality that works if I deploy it as a DLL on a SharePoint (MOSS2007) server. Now I'm trying to identify the best way to package it as a d...
