info about java ide
Hello I need to install a Java ide and I'm looking for advice about which jdk component might be best to use with it. I was thinking about using netbeans so would I need to use the sun-linux-jdk16 for that or could I use openjdk instead. Perhaps diablo-jdk16 would be better, I guess I'd need that to actually build the sun version anyway wouldn't I? Any help would be great.

Step 1: Make a funky file to play along with this min-tutorial: === Create a text file with an editor that supports non-ASCII characters. I created a file named 'filename' which containing this (no newline!): à fichier.txt Step 2: Create the actual file with content === I used echo and cat like so in the tcsh shell: echo hello world `cat filename` Step 3: Show the file in ls === As you can see below, the first character of the filename is displayed as two question marks. This is the terminal's way of showing filenames that it cannot display correctly. There are two question marks, because this is a two-byte character. This does *not* mean the filename starts with a literal question mark: -rw-r--r-- 1 Modulok Modulok 12 May 23 09:01 ?? fichier.txt Step 4: (optional) Fix the terminal === At this point, let's just fix the terminal so that UTF-8 characters are displayed correctly. We want to see the French accented 'à', and not a bunch of question marks. To do this, you edit '/etc/login.conf' as root. Add two lines at the bottom of the 'default' section. My default section now looks like this: default:\ :passwd_format=md5:\ :copyright=/etc/COPYRIGHT:\ ...and so on... :charset=en_US.UTF-8:\ :lang=en_US.UTF-8: If you're a French operation yours should probably look like this instead: default:\ :passwd_format=md5:\ :copyright=/etc/COPYRIGHT:\ ...and so on... :charset=fr_FR.UTF-8:\ :lang=fr_FR.UTF-8: I'm not certain on these for all countries, but the above examples work. We then need to rebuild the actual login database. Execute the following command as root: cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf This generates /etc/login.conf.db from /etc/login.conf. Now log out and then back in! Step 5: Back to the funky file == You should now see the actual accent characters correctly in the terminal. (Assuming your terminal supports this): -rw-r--r-- 1 Modulok Modulok 12 May 23 09:01 à fichier.txt In some ternimals, we cannot type these characters. So you can access the filename through a shell glob pattern. In most shells, the glob pattern '?' matches any single character. The forward slash escapes the space in the filename. mv ?\ fichier.txt aFile.txt Hope this helps (and doesn't get too mangled.) -Modulok- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org -- Frank BONNET 01.45.92.66.17 Service des Moyens Informatiques Generaux ESIEE PARIS Cité Descartes / BP 99 93162 NOISY-LE-GRAND Cedex http://www.esiee.fr http://www.esiee.fr/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

The problem comes from the %C3%A9e character ( e eacute )
Not surprising, there is _no_ %C3%A9e character in the file name. grin
ls -lb in the directory give that :
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 18294 24 mai 03:00
11_EM2_SI_JUIN_CV_AMICHIA_Anthony Aim\351e Marthe Moteh.docx
but wildcards fails
Ah so.
There is an 'unfortunate' line-break in the ls output you show. This may
be *VERY* significant. IF what is shown above _is_ *exactly* how the output
appears, then there is a '[NL]' as the first character of the filename. In
_that_ case, putting a '?' or '*' on the front of the wildcard string
_should_ expand to the actual file nam. That is, ls -lb ?11_EM2* should
succeed.
OTOH, *IF* the ls -lb output appears as one long line, please check the
output _carefully_, and report _how_many_spaces_ between the last digit of
the timestamp, and the fist 'visible' character of the file name. Check
that count against a file name that you _can_ wild-card. (I've got a nasty
suspicion that there is a _space_ or other 'non-printing' character as the
first character of the filename.)
*IF* none of the above applies, then (and ONLY then) the following applies:
1) try fetching the URL:
http://{{server}}/cv/ESIEE_MANAGEMENT/Systeme_information/11_EM2_SI_JUIN_CV_AMICHIA_Anthony%20Aim%E9e%20Marthe%20Moteh.docx
2) NOTE: filename 'globbing' (what you call 'wildcards') failing to match
that filename *is* a genuine bug as regards whatever shell you are
using, and you SHOULD file a formal bug report (aka PR) on that issue.
3) For completeness, try the 'ls -lb 11*' command, while in the data
directory, under 'sh', 'tcsh', 'ksh', 'zsh', =and= 'bash'. file a bug
report for every shell where the wildcard expansion fails.
For the bug report, Include the output generated by script(1), showing
the 'ls -lb' of the entire directory, _and_ the attempt to use a
wildcard match. Do _NOT_ edit that script log file in any way.
the ideal sequence is:
1) invoke script(1).
2) invoke the shell being tested.
3) cd(1) to the relevant directory
4) execute 'ls -lb'
5) execute 'ls -lb 11*
6) exit the shell under test.
7) exit scriot(1)
8) save the 'typescript' file under an appropriate name.
repeat for each shell tested.

FreeBSD's default filesystem supports UTF8, but not arbitrary composition of Unicode characters. If you want this to work better, you need to make sure that you use normalized UTF8 filenames and UTF8 URLs from Apache. It's likely that a discussion of Unicode normalization would be helpful: http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr15/index.html IBM's ICU (at http://site.icu-project.org/), or Apple's discussion of HFS normalization (Unicode Normal Forms D, at http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#qa/qa2001/qa1235.html) would also be informative.

FWIW:, you may also try null routing the suspicious / bad IP ranges vs.
adding to firewall confs. Typically far less overhead, and perhaps easier.

Just letting then disappear silently is rude und unnecessary, but that's just IMHO. I don't understand your comment on silence -- they've been deprecated for a while now. I'll take a look at resurrecting and hosting it tomorrow, if people are interested. I grabbed the source and took a look at it. At the end of the README there is the following line: Bugs may be reported to Scott Oaks (scott.o...@east.sun.com), who will try to fix bugs whenever he can. Looks to be the old maintainer from the Sun days. The tarball that I grabbed doesn't have the LEGAL_NOTICE file, so it's not clear to me which Sun license it is under. It seems that the port depends on the olgx library which also seems to be deprecated. On xwinman.org, this wm's development activity is listed as LOW. So, all of this leads me to point out the following: FOSS is a volunteer thing. If a maintainer evaporates and the port gets old, it is taken out of the ports tree. It's not gone, you can still get everything if you pull the old ports tree from a specific data as was mentioned in another reply. But, if someone writes FOSS, they don't _have_ to maintain it. If you really like it, and it has been abandoned, by all means, pick it up, dust it off, and start updating the code. As a user of FOSS, you are not entitled to updates from the maintainers. You are, however, a beneficiary of the maintainer's volunteering their time and effort to provide you with updates. That aside. If you don't have time to maintain it, then look for an alternative. I would suggest looking at xwinman.org and see if there is another wm that has a High development activity that has a similar look and feel to the one that you want. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
