jsf4birt: Is exadel.org dead? - jsf

I want to test jsf4birt in my web application. The tutorial at the actuate website tells me to download the jsf4birt Library at exadel.org but exadel.org is not available at all.
Does anyone know, if the jsf4birt project is continued in any way - and where - or is the project not supported anymore?
Cheers, Chris

Last working archive of their website dates back to 2014-03-26. Either way, seems like jsf4birt only supported up to JSF 1.2. Project seems to be discontinued.

How can Aptana help with Netsuite Client Suitescript development?

I found my way here from the 3-years-out-of-date page at http://suitesource.netsuite.com/s.nl/it.A/id.82/.f . I have the latest eclipse, with the Aptana plugin and the NetSuiteEclipse plugin.
Just exactly what does Aptana do for me? It's not altogether clear, and it seems Netsuite may have abandoned their end of it.
By far the best environment I have found lately with regards to developing scripts for NetSuite is to just bag the instructions given by NetSuite and go with Aptana Studio 3 (not Eclipse with the Aptana plugin) and then include the NetSuite plugin to allow for direct upload into NS as Jeff mentioned. Aptana Studio is basically just Eclipse for JS and some additional cool features, like built in color themes.
The only other step you need to do (and this is not mentioned in the NS help) is to place SuiteScriptApi.js (and maybe nlapihandler.nl.js) in the root of your main project folder. The above configuration will give you code completion/definition for JavaScript in general and SuiteScript. I forget where I got the files but you can search on SuiteAnswers for them.
The help really needs to be updated to include the changes in IDE's.
The aptana plugin is not Netsuite specific it is a plugin for javascript development and provides code completion for javascript. The code completion of the netsuite objects is limited.
The netsuite plugin to Eclipse allows you to upload your suitescripts to netsuite directly from eclipse. However there are some limitations as to the path of the uploaded files that I can't remember at the moment. It did not allow me to set the paths the way I wanted so I stopped using it.
Use Suitecloud IDE.
Created from Eclipse but customized for Netsuite API.

About once a year I try Aptana and I end up uninstalling it each time- recently I tried again for my third time and uninstalled it. In my experience the code completion isn't very good, it doesn't handle complicated inheritance situations, doesn't play well with object literal notation, etc. I don't have proof and I've uninstalled it so if anyone asks me for specific examples I can't produce them.
I always end up back with Eclipse classic (3.7 I think) and JS Eclipse (which is an abandoned plugin that Adobe bought from Interakt but it still works) It's fast and has decent code completion. Is it better than Aptana? I don't think so, but it's snappier and seems to require less restarts.
I wish I had better experience with Aptana, it makes me nervous that JS Eclipse is a ghost that will disapear here at some point. I maintain over 48k lines of SuiteScript in our installation, I REALLY could use a better tool! ;)
Try Visual Studio 11.
It has much better intellisense in my opinion (as long as you configure it with any libraries such as the SuiteScript API.js). It also works well if you are already used to Visual Studio from .NET development (including SuiteTalk web services).
Not really an IDE but here is some suggestion.
Use a Google Chrome debugger. When you are in Edit mode in a record (example: customer), you can use the suitescript API to get the object-tree, very helpful in developing client-side script in Netsuite and understanding how their API works.

Dojo Toolkit offline application

I have been integrating a standard border container (Nested Layout Widgets) from this site
http://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/dijit/layout/BorderContainer.html which worked quite well.
The problem is that I want to use this application offline but didn't find a way to do so. I mean why do I have to be online to use it anyway?
Can you help here? Are there any files that are not stored locally that I have to link across the project? Or is it just not possible to use it offline?
Also, what about the dojo offline project anyway? Th last status is from 2007?
Thank you very much for your help in advance!

You should look at the HTML5 application cache for offline applications. dojox.offline is pretty much abandoned given the newer browser technology.

Is JSF2 usable in concert with the "Snaps" web UI framework based on Eclipse Virgo?

Snaps is a (rather new) web framework growing out of the Eclipse Virgo community that (will) allow dynamic, componentized web UIs by exploiting the OSGi infrastructure. Apparently it is the heir of "Slices", the previous attempt at this.
What I am wondering is whether there is any work ongoing in looking at how JSF (2) can be combined with such an approach? Is this at all possible? If so, is there any concrete work ongoing?
There is no work going on looking at JSF specifically or any other Web framework for that matter. Snaps aims to give you the dynamic runtime ability to compose your web app without restricting your choice of web framework in any way. It definitely doesn't aim to be another web framework.
I know some people have had JSF running on Virgo so I don't see any reason that you can't use it with snaps although I haven't tried it so I can't say for certain. If you do find a problem raise a bug on the Virgo project :)
Chris.
In case you're still interested:
At the Virgo formus I know there is some guy who does have it running with FancyFaces.
If you might have found another solution, would be glad to hear.

Best bugzilla desktop client

We've just started to used bugzilla and I found the web interface quite slow and not user-friendly.
I'm wondering if anyone have a suggestion for a client desktop or a browser add-on running under windows.
I found the following page: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:Addons
Which one of these clients (or any other) is the best ? Any other suggestions ?
I already tried Deskzilla Lite, which seem pretty good. However, there is a lot of field (edit bug) that we don't use (i.e. hardware, os, url, depends on, etc). Is there a desktop client that allow to remove and customize the field used in the bug entry form? On this one, please do not answer I can customize the bugzilla templates, we don't want to use the web interface anyway.
Well it depends on your Bugzilla Version. Since I updated to 4.0 I've got no alternative to Deskzilla since MyZilla is not running anymore. LiveProject looks pretty neat but I never tested it, so... Deskzilla lite. :/

Question About SubSonic Version 2.2

(Warning: This may be a stupid question...)
I am am one of those who are not willing to move to SubSonic 3.0. I am currently using a customized fork of SubSonic 1.(?). I want to migrate to version 2 for many reasons, and I have been successfully been playing with Subcommander. Cool stuff! Here's my question...
When I generate the DAL for 2 databases, when I put those DAL files into the same project, with SubSonic 2.2 allow me to connect to both of them in the same project/application at the same time?
Yes you can, but they will need to be in separate namespaces (I think). I've done it and I found that giving each its own project and namespace was the easiest to manage - especially with subcommander since each project can have its own config file.
You may also want to take a look at the SubStage application. I found it great for discovering the myriad of settings available with SubSonic code generation.
Multiple database support was first introduced with SubSonic 2.0 Beta 1. It is hard to find samples online, but the Starter Site project is still a good reference as it includes two database references. You can find the source on Google Code.
