Removing Trailing Spaces from JavaDoc in Eclipse

2008-09-29T02:05:00.000-07:00

In the project I working on we wanted to add some code formatting. Therefore I installed the following Eclipse plugin: eclipse-cs

But that gave at lot of warnings. Some could be removed by the formatter and some manually. But the I got a warning in almost all JavaDoc saying Line has trailing spaces. Could not get Eclips' formatter to removed them so I googled a bit a found this nice plugin: AnyEdit tools.

That did the job :-)

Bookmarks in firefox

2008-09-18T01:12:00.000-07:00

When I got Firefox 3 and Google Browser Sync was no longer available for download. I looked
around for an alternative.

Mozilla Labs / Weave
Look here: Mozilla Labs / Weave and here Labs/Weave/0.2/Release Notes

Is nice and working perfectly with a account from myDisk.

But this needs accounts more places and as I already got a lot of bookmarks at Google Bookmarks I look for some alternative.

Google Bookmarks
I found this nice plugin for Firefox GMarks. Works just like normal bookmarks with labels as folders.
