I like netbeans , I really do but there are a couple of things I'd like to be changed. 1. When I do Alt+Tab I often can't do Paste of the text that I Copy'ed in the context before. Strangely enough, if I do another cycle of Alt+Tab it works! I'd classify this as a BUG! This was present in 3.6 and is still present in 4.0 beta2. UPDATE: RC1 that just went on-line seems to work ok. 2. Classes that have a lot of overloaded methods (System.out.println().. ) really don't blend well with the code-completion netbeans offers. The VisualStudio experience is much better, giving a one-entry and the ability to navigate with left-right click (or by inserting the variables). I asked for the same thing on the Eclipse forum, now it's a "bug" so I'm hoping that at least they will implement it. 3. INSTABILITY!!! 3.6 was bad, 4.0 beta2 is "pray the lord it won't.... $*"&%#$&!" UPDATE: 4.0 runs stable but I'm running Tomcat 5.0.19 on it
Well, the xmas holidays are arriving so it's all coming to a final rush. Too many things to do and not enough time. To the guy that was asking me some UML diagrams; I'm remodeling a bit the whole thing so I'm more in the programming mode then design mode. I'm trying to explore the use of Filters and the goal would be to switch from the ActionServlet to an "ActionFilter" that I'm for the moment calling Controller. At the moment I'm assigning a URL mapping /Controller, but perhaps it'd be nice not to do a fixed URL, something like *.action? I had some bugs during deployment, I'm not sure if it's not possible to do or it was a netbeans problem (damn beta). A question that I'm asking myself now is if I call the next Filter in the chain that is mapped to /Controller once passed all Filters in the chain, it calls the ones in the /*? It's something that I think could help separate the Actions and a mechanism of Autorizations/Authentication
I just vitnessed the appearance of Mozilla 1.0 final on the mozilla web site. And now I'm a proud downloader of it. Wow, being among the first people to get it :-)
