给Dell Latitude D610安装Ubuntu 5.10

Ubuntu 5.10是我认为现在对于个人用户，日常开发使用最合适和优秀的linux distribution。自身的软件库已经非常全面和方便。像firfox的mplayer plugin, java-plugin这种东西都已经有了现成的包可以用apt直接安装。

在给一些SATA硬盘的台式机安装ubuntu时可能你会遇到一些问题。比如在Dell Dimension 3100, Compaq Presario SR1030z上不管是ubuntu breezy还是hoary，还是任何debian的linux，都看不到硬盘。但Dell Dimension 4700使用的是一样的硬盘，却可以被安装程序识别。

安装breezy到D610非常容易。默认安装一路冲到底就差不多了，应该只有LCD的分辨率会有点小问题，因为D610的最大分辨率是不标准的1400x1050。下面的包可以直接用apt-get安装，在别的linux里这些通常要自己手动搞一搞。
flashpalyer-mozilla
j2re1.4-mozilla-plugin
mozilla-mplayer
ant
eclipse-sdk
wifi-radar
stardict

915 resolution可以解决D610非标准的分辨率问题。可以下载安装他的debian包，执行"915resolution -l"，选一个你不会用的分辨率（我选的是3c, 1600x1200x8)，执行 "915resolution 3c 1400 1050 32"用你想要的分辨率覆盖不用的分辨率。然后restart gdm或者kdm服务。

如果你想让他每次启动自动执行，可以做一个比gdm早启动的service，或者把"/usr/sbin/915resolution 3c 1400 1050 32"这句加到/etc/init.d/gdm里面。

Publish Maven site with Amazon S3 and CloudFront

Amazon S3 now supports static website hosting . As a 10 years Maven user, I wonder how easy it is to deploy Maven generated site to Amazon S3 and let the rock-solid storage provider to host my project websites. There are several existing s3 wagon providers , which all seem to have the same problem, not supporting directory copy. This is understandable since before S3 new website hosting feature, I guess people mostly expect to deploy artifacts rather than website to S3. So my first task is to write an AWS S3 wagon that supports directory copy. With AWS Java SDK , task becomes as simple as one single class . I made my S3 wagon available in Maven central repository at org.cyclopsgroup:awss3-maven-wagon:0.1 . The source code is hosted in github:jiaqi/cym2/awss3 . The next thing is to create an S3 bucket in console . To avoid trouble, bucket name is set to the future website domain name according to this discussion . Website feature needs to be explicitly enabled. I also created an...

Customize IdGenerator in JPA, gap between Hibernate and JPA annotations

JPA annotation is like a subset of Hibernate annotation, this means people will find something available in Hibernate missing in JPA. One of the important missing features in JPA is customized ID generator. JPA doesn't provide an approach for developer to plug in their own IdGenerator. For example, if you want the primary key of a table to be BigInteger coming from sequence, JPA will be out of solution. Assume you don't mind the mixture of Hibernate and JPA Annotation and your JPA provider is Hibernate, which is mostly the case, a solution before JPA starts introducing new Annotation is, to replace JPA @SequenceGenerator with Hibernate @GenericGenerator. Now, let the code talk. /** * Ordinary JPA sequence. * If the Long is changed into BigInteger, * there will be runtime error complaining about the type of primary key */ @Id @Column(name = "id", precision = 12) @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.SEQUENCE, generator = "XyzIdGenerator") @SequenceGe...

Spring, Angular and other reasons I like and hate Bazel at the same time

For several weeks I've been trying to put together an Angular application served Java Spring MVC web server in Bazel. I've seen the Java, Angular combination works well in Google, and given the popularity of Java, I want get it to work with open source. How hard can it be to run arguably the best JS framework on a server in probably the most popular server-side language with the mono-repo of planet-scale ? The rest of this post walks through the headaches and nightmares I had to get things to work but if you are just here to look for a working example, github/jiaqi/angular-on-java is all you need. https://github.com/jiaqi/angular-on-java Java web application with Appengine rule Surprisingly there isn't an official way of building Java web application in Bazel, the closest thing is the Appengine rule and Spring MVC seems to work well with it. 3 Java classes, a JSP and an appengine.xml was all I need. At this point, the server starts well but I got "No ...
