I am writing a WinForms application that accepts dynamic user interface controls, in the form of plugins (think widgets). For this, the main function of each plugin returns a UserControl that is then added to the main form. Since my application doesn't have direct control over them, I would like to "sandbox" the plugins exception-wise s...
I have a application and several plugins in DLL files. The plugins use symbols from the application via a export library. The application links in several static libraries and this is where most of the symbols come from. This works fine as long as the application uses a symbol. If the symbol is not used there, I get linker errors when co...
I would like to put two small constant objects (one TreeMap and one ArrayList) somewhere in the ServletContext of a Struts2 webapp (running under Tomcat 6), such that those objects may be accessible from any JSP, through the Application Scope. Under Struts1, I would have used one of those startup "plug-ins" (defined in struts-config.xml...
I have written a small plug in for Visual Studio 2005. It displays the name and the shortcuts of the last command you have used (nice for learning seldom used command's shortcuts). I display this information in a window that I manually dock between the project explorer and the property panel. The problem : every time I start Visual Stu...
Just a couple weeks back one of my co-workers was using the Web Developer plugin for Firefox which I had never seen before, and I was wondering if there are any other great development plugins for Firefox that you cannot live without as a web developer. The ones I currently use are: Web Developer Firebug ColorZilla Edit: Please give a ...
Hi Ok this is a little complex. I am creating a plugin, and want to find the category ID from the Post page. That's the easy part. What makes it complex is I am doing it within an ob_start (started in a 'template_redirect' action) as I want to edit the full page before it is returned to the browser. Again that is easy enough from the ...

I've been looking for a good testing framework for months, not finding anything, so I've just been building my own. This is what I want to do: - track arbitrary behaviors (e.g. # of photos viewed, # of comments posted) - track correlation between arbitrary variables and those behaviors (e.g, how do different versions of this prompt af...
Most of us are familiar with the "accordion-style" navigation bar on the left side of Outlook 2003. It has buttons like Calendar, Tasks, Mail, etc, and clicking on one of those buttons opens up a browser pane with the list of common folders in that section. Using C++ or Delphi, I'd like to write a plugin that adds a new section to the ...
I'm currenty trying to integrate the rails-authorization plugin into a rails application. I've followed through the installation and setup steps but each time I try to use the permit "role" or permit? "role" functions, I get an error thrown up along the lines of 'const missing, User#RolesUser' which doesn't appear to have any use ...
I found this question but the referenced options don't say anything about supporting "blame". What I'm looking for is an integrated way to ask "Who edited the line under the cursor last?". I know most/all SVN clients give this in some form but I'd like something that makes it easy enough that I can do it on a whim: "Humm, who wrote that...
I am developing an eclipse plugin which contains a specific version of Lucene. I need to generate a search index and deploy it so that it can be read by another application which uses the same version of Lucene. I recently upgraded eclipse to 3.4 and the search index is now not readable by the 2nd application. I see that eclipse 3.4 con...

I am trying to find a plugin or a solid way to narrow a list of items as a user types. Essentially there would be a list that is always visible containing product names for users to scroll through. At the bottom would be a form where you can type in the name of a product. As you type the list is narrowed down. I have been trying to fin...

I've been looking for this all over, and simply cannot find it. I have a blog that has no titles in its blog posts, but I'd like, for various usability reasons, to have the permalinks use the first few words from entries that do not have titles as the permalink slug. ie, if the post on sample.com/blog is Title: (no title) Content...
Title: Eclipse plug-in development Unable to instantiate class due to java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Trying to build an eclipse plugin but getting some runtime error..

Does anyone know of a free alternative to the built in Eclipse XML editor? The one that is packaged with the IDE has 2 major problems with formatting that my team and I have discovered when formatting: The formatter tries to parse escaped char's as though they were unescaped. e.g. ' & l t ;' is treated like '<' which causes the forma...
