What is the standard way for allowing and implementing a plugin system for your application? In my last application I made a simple interface for all plugins that they must implement. I then load all assemblies in the apps directory and toss out any that don't implement that interface. One of the methods in the interface is a DoWork()...
I need a tool to make screenshots of every page on a rather large site so I'm looking for a tool that can (best case scenario) automatically spider the site and create screenshots of every page in a folder or (plan B) a browser plug-in that automatically takes a screenshot of every page I load/visit and saves it to my drive. ...
Subclipse, Subversive, or something else? There's a bit of debate around the topic, can we come to some conclusion here? EDIT: It's been a couple months now, and I ended up deciding the plugin slowed Eclipse down too much, and was a hassle to use every time I changed a file from outside Eclipse. I ditched the plugin all together and ju...
Title says it all. I know this can be done in IE by creating an ActiveX object, but how do I do it in FF. The navigator.plugins['Adobe Acrobat'] object lets me know if it's installed or not, but it doesn't contain the version number. Any ideas? ...
I'm in the planning stages of a rather large project (think Photoshop killer) that will be released to the public at large. Most of the features are plugable and I plan to release the plugin sdk for free. I'll also be trying to garner a bit of a community of third-party plugin developers. I'm thinking of releasing two versions of the pr...
My work just gave me a quad core computer, and WOW build times are fast! (What used to take 20+ minutes now takes 7 minutes). Anyway, Visual Studio builds project in parallel (great for build times), but scrambles the output: 1>Performing Makefile project actions 3>arg.c 2>msg.c 3>log.c 4>test.c (and so on....) Is there a plugin tha...
So the question is how to distribute/offload the media files from Wordpress posts across multiple domains. The reasoning being to overcome this limitation: "Most browser will only make 2 simultaneous requests to a server, so if you page requires 16 files they will be requested 2 at a time." In relation to: http://codex.wordpress.org/W...
In particular, I need a more full fledged version of Trac to support robust project management, and task tracking. I went through the plugins and literally found over 50 that looked promising. But, my question is to the admins/users of Trac: which ones are indespensible for making Trac feature complete? Also, which ones should be ...
Hi, I'm looking for a very specific eclipse plugin that will tell me if a class in my project is not implementing hashCode or/and equals methods. Does anyone know of such a plugin? Thanks ...
I'm looking for a plugin or way to simply go from any namespace, type, method, property, etc in my .Net code to the MSDN page that covers it via a context menu item or hyperlink-like mechanism. Does anyone know of anything that will do that? The "Go to Definition" option when you right click almost covers this, but it doesn't quite w...
My rails app is in a svn repository, but several of the plugins are installed through git and later added to the svn repo. How can I update these plugins? I can't seem to get script/plugin update to do anything. I'd really like to update activemerchant to get rid of the Inflector warnings. ...
Does anyone know of a good Eclipse POJO generator? The generate getter\setters and constructor from fields functions are all really nice, but it would be useful to have that tied into a new class\POJO dialog. ...
What is the best jQuery status message plugin? I like jGrowl and Purr, but jGrowl doesn't have the feature to remain sticky (not close automatially) and Purr doesn't seem to work right in IE 6. I would like to show messages like... the site is about to go down for maintenance, your such and such job has completed, and stuff like that. ...
I'm about to release a set of Eclipse plug-ins as Open Source and noticed that most source code released under the LGPL/EPL contains a header banner in each file that refers to the license or contains the license itself. Since adding these banners to each file manually seems to be a daunting and error-prone task, I was wondering whether...
I would like to program Java servlets using Eclipse and I plan on deploying them using Tomcat. I think I can build the projects using Ant which is bundled with Eclipse. I have the standard Eclipse IDE. What options do I have for doing Servlet development in Eclipse? What changes do I need to make to Eclipse? Do I need to install a plug-i...
Or perhaps this is a manual install only deal. ...
I'm looking for a plugin for jQuery that can validate as a key is pressed and after it loses focus (text boxes). I'm currently using jVal - jQuery Form Field Validation Plugin. It works pretty good. The only issue I have is that I can only use a generic error message. For example: I need a string to between 2 and 5 characters. If ...
