Ran into an issue yesterday when running my grails application as an executable jar file via the command below in that it wouldn't execute the Bootstrap.groovy file. Here I had some domain objects that were used to populate the database with static data. >java -Dgrails.env=prod -jar build/libs/my-app.war The issue turned out to be that the Bootstrap.groovy file was not under a package name, it was sitting under grails-app         init              BootStrap.groovy This had to changed to be under a package name grails-app         init              myapp                  BootStrap.groovy After this change the BootStrap.groovy file was executed on startup

Recently ran into this error in AngularJS regarding module missing when running my Jasmine tests "[$injector:nomod] Module '' is not available!  You either misspelled the module name or forgot to load it.  If registering a module ensure that you specify the dependencies   as the second argument" Turned out that I needed to add the module definition file first before loading the other services that use that module. karma.conf.js extract files: [ 'src/app/module.js', 'src/app/usingModuleAbove.js' ] Other solutions for this issue can be found in John Papas post here

Eclipse and Maven interaction can be a bit of a pain at times, but now since upgrading to the latest version of Eclipse (Kepler) whenI import my Maven projects the folders are all marked with the red x error indicator icon and multiple popups display with the following error message: Eclipse Error: “Enabling Maven Dependency Management” has encountered a problem To resolve this I had run the following steps: 1. Disable Maven nature from each of the projects 2. Run a the following maven command on the project: mvn eclipse:clean 3. Right click on the project and do the following Configure > Convert to Maven Project... Environment Windows 7 64-bit Eclipse Kepler 64-bit Maven 3.1.1 Java 64-bit 1.7.0_51

To link an icon to an executable in Ubuntu you need to do the following: (In my example I will be using Aptana Studio) 1. Open a terminal window and go to  /usr/share/applications 2. Create a desktop file by running sudo gedit app-name.desktop (aptana.desktop) 3. Add the following properties to the .desktop file [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Eclipse Comment=Aptana Studio IDE Exec=/opt/Aptana_Studio_3/AptanaStudio3 (your executable) Icon=/opt/Aptana_Studio_3/icon.xpm (your icon) Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=GNOME;Application;Development; StartupNotify=true Save the File If you now search for your application the icon should be linked to the executable. Update: In order to get the icon appearing in the launcher bar, I had to copy the aptana.desktop file into ~/.local/share/applications/ I then pressed the windows key and searched for 'aptana' and dragged the icon to the launcher bar.
