I am building an application and I also have the keystore for it. But, now I have to change my laptop and run the application on the new laptop so can I use the same keystore?
Yes. You can use the same keystore.
If your application code is the same and the location it reads the keystore from is the same, you can basically replicate your application on your new workstation exactly like your old workstation.

I have created an EC2 instance and I now want to connect to it from a Chromebook. For the time being, I only have access to this Chromebook and I am after a way of generating my public key from the .pem file that Amazon issues.
I am familiar with how to do this via the Linux command line, but I need a web based solution for this.
You need an SSH client for Chrome, try this:

maybe I am blind or I don't understand something right. I have created some HelloWorld-App and now I would like to test in on my device directly. (not via Visual Studios' Remote Tools)
So created my app package in VS but selected "No" for "Uploading to Windows Store" since I want to try it out localy.
The build an verification is successful and all but at the end I got a folder ("HelloWorld_1.0.1.0_Test") in the "AppPackages"-Folder. There are a couple of files. .appxbundle, .appxsym (for each architectiure one)
But if I want to install an app via the device manager it requires an .appx file. Where do I get this one?
I googled a lot, but I only found the descriptions for using the Windows Store.
Isn't it possible without it or am I missing something?
Kind Regards

I don't know which device manager you install it through, but an appxbundle should be the fine. It's a ZIP file which includes several appx files (for several display scales, languages, ...).
But generally, inside the AppPackages folder there should be a folder like "AppName_1.0.0.0_Test". VS creates not only the appxbundle there, but also a Powershell script Add-AppDevPackage.ps1. Run it as admin and it installs the app if sideloading is enabled. This should be the easiest option to test apps on other machines without Store submissions.
Let say i have a cross-platform runnable application
This application create then read/write some data and preference in external files
Bundle hierarchy is as follow:
ApplicationFolder/application.jar
ApplicationFolder/database.odb
ApplicationFolder/config.xml
Whether it's on a Mac, Windows or Linux, the application knows that everything is next to her (ie: /database.odb or /config.xml)
Now comes the Self Contained Application feature provided by JavaFx 2
The application is embedded in .exe on Windows, .app on Mac and don't know yet about Linux...
As a Mac user i've tested it on Mac and saw that database.odb and config.xml are now created at the user root path
I thus agree that i should think of a cross-platform mechanism to save/read my application preferences regarding the operating system
But i'm not quite sure of what to do and how to do it (can't find any googling help either..)
On windows, the .exe is installed in a folder, so i guess i can keep the same behavior
On Mac, the .app is a folder and i should keep everything inside (how to get the .app path ?!)
Isn't there a built-in mechanism in Java/JavaFx ?
Thanks a lot for any comment, advice, documentation or else that you could give me

There are many ways to do this. I have listed some of them here in no particular order. The recommended approach depends on the type of data being stored.
Java provides a couple of mechanisms (e.g. the properties API and the preferences API) for maintaining application preferences.
If your application is sophisticated enough to benefit from an database, then you might want to use Java EE or Spring, both of which have their own configuration mechanisms.
For read-only configuration, you can bundle the relevant files inside your application jar.
To store customized application configuration files or client application wide databases in relative to the application jar, write the required files at runtime. See How do I get the directory that the currently executing jar file is in?.
For user specific configuration, use System.getProperty("user.home") to retrieve the user's home directory, then create a subdirectory for your preference storage (for example "{$user.dir}/.myapp") with hidden file attributes so that it doesn't show up on a standard file directory list.
If your app relies on internet connectivity, then you can store some of this information server side rather than the client and make use of it from the client using internet protocols. An advantage of this approach is that user configuration and data is automatically ported across client machines.
I have created a synchronized project in Eclipse so that I can develop on my Windows workstation without the overhead caused by running eclipse on our company's build server. However, the problem I'm having is that the indexer is using my Cygwin includes for things such as the stdlib which aren't the ones I wanted to include. Is there a way to include remote includes from the linux build server for things like the std lib? The only idea I have right now would be to create a mapped cifs mount to my windows machine that has access to the header files, however I don't know if that would work.
Look at "Remote Include Paths" (bottom of page). Let us know on the ptp-users mailing-list if it doesn't work.
Please excuse the frustrating undertones as I have attempted to get this set up correctly multiple times to no avail (possibly and most likely due to my ignorance, but also likely due to the lack of thorough and concise documentation).
I am trying to set up a git server so that I can share code amongst a small team of developers. Each developer may connect from multiple client PC's. I come from MS in the past so I am a bit spoiled in regards to development toolset, but it would be awesome if I could get something similar to TFS.
When trying to set up either gitosis (I understand this is deprecated for the git community per https://serverfault.com/questions/225495/ubuntu-server-gitosis-user-naming-convention) or gitolite, it seems as though as soon as I set it up I have to be extremely careful because it seems everything is balancing on toothpicks.
My latest attempt to set up a git server included moving my public key (benny.pub) from my laptop to the server, setting everything using that public key and pulling down the config to set up a repo and permissions. I then realized I want to develop on another PC so I created a new key (benny#desktop.pub) and renamed benny.pub to benny#laptop.pub which screwed things up obviously. This is where I know I was dumb by changing the name.
My question after a long-winded description is this: how can I set up a sturdy self-hosted git server with the ability to have multiple developers log in from multiple machines while maintaining security, etc? There has to be a proven technique (gitolite describes maybe 4-5 different ways...also frustrating) to do this as I'm sure I'm not the only one trying to do this exact same thing. Maybe git isn't right for my team?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
From my experience, all you need is a SSH server with a single git account/login that you are able to connect to using one of your public keys. Install gitolite using SSH (copies gitloite from your client to the server & does the basic setup) and have your developers send you their public keys. Add these keys to the gitolite-admin repository in your ~ and push.
Why does a developer need more than one keypair in the first place, even if multiple machines are used? Such cases will neither influence how SSH handles authentication nor how gitolite handles authorization: they're still SSH keys.
If a developer has to use several keypairs (one for git, another for some other server), let them handle the complexity and advise them to create an entry in ~/.ssh/config for each keypair/server combination they use.
If a developer has a different keypair on every machine used, gitolite groups can combine several public keys:
#agross = agross-1 agross-2
A couple of pointers:
The section about git on the server on Scott Chacon's pro git book
Gitorious is FOSS
I maintain a gitosis config at work, and when a developer has multiple ssh keys, all I have to do is put all these keys in the same keydir/user.pub file.
So concatenate all your keys into keydir/benny.pub and you shoud be all set.
There are a few open source git hosting solutions with a web-based UI for creating repositories and adding users (like GitHub:FI)... though I don't know about restricting access:
Gitorious (Ruby)
InDefero (PHP)
Girocco (Perl, shell scripts)

i am using debian with every developer having an account on the server. i use ssh with private key login. Finally a developer has to use a url like ssh://username#example.com/git-repo/repo.git to checkout or in any case interact with git on repo
I think the problem is that you ssh client (windows or linux version) is not finding the key file. I had the same problem and solved this way:
In my notebook, generated the key file (rafael.nicoletti#mycorporation) in ~/.ssh folder (where ~ is home folder. windows version is %HOME% env)
I added a file name config in ~/.ssh with following content:
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/rafael.nicoletti#corporation
In every location i want to access my git servers, i just copy those files in my %HOME% folder
You can also put the some things like this in config file:
IdentityFile /d/identity.key
IdentityFile /e/identity.key
IdentityFile /f/identity.key
IdentityFile /.../identity.key
So the config will look for keys in removable medias.
