Re: [Dspace-tech] Building with NetBeans 7.1.2

This is due to the fact that Git won't persist empty directories. I'm not sure if anyone's gone there yet, but I think if we added .gitignore files in each of these directories, it may solve this problem of their not existing when a build is attempted. -- sands fish Senior Software Engineer

Hi Patrick, I'm on of the developers that uses the NetBeans IDE for all of my DSpace work. I'm sure there are a lot of similarities in terms of functionality that IntelliJ provides, but as was mentioned, the auto-complete feature for methods and fields in a given class can give you a lot of

What operating system are you running on? Typically you can set default file creation permissions with umask settings and other OS-level configuration. I recommend you look into those types of settings for the OS you're dealing with. -Sands On Dec 14, 2010, at 1:13 PM, amutsikiwa wrote: Hi

Sergio, it would be much easier to troubleshoot this if you expanded the stack-traces on the page and copied their text into email. The wealth of the information needed to debug the issue is in there. That said, this is a very strange error to see on the root of the XMLUI. Is this a clean

I think one of the real challenges people run into with Manakin's templating is that there is no direct corollary between specific pages and individual templates or template files. Templates apply all over the site to an array of pages. You can't say oh, i'm in submission, i'll go edit

Sounds like a question for a UI developer, but one thought is that Cocoon is capable of outputting various serializations of response content, so you have a couple of avenues, some of which are more involved. Off the top of my head: 1.) Use Cocoon sitemap configuration, user-agent choice

It's my (perhaps skewed?) perception that there is a much larger number of Postgres DSpace installs out there, thus it is the more heavily tested option. Also, all things being equal, isn't it far more expensive to run an Oracle instance, vs. the free Postgres license? You would also be
