Goobye Eclipse welcome Intellij IDEA

I used IntelliJ IDEA before 4 or so years ago when I was working with Android and then switched back to Eclipse. And I felt that I came back to the stone age.

What stopped me from continuing on IntelliJ is that I use IBM Jazz at work which is not supported well by our team. And everybody uses Eclipse so I decided to follow the crowd.

Eclipse is a nice Java IDE, but I have some behaviours that I don't like which drove me to migrate to IntelliJ IDEA.

Nowadays I wanted to create JAX-RS Rest application, but Eclipse insisting that this is an EJB project and keep adding ejbModule source-based structure, and at this point, I felt It is it. Eclipse I am breaking with you :P.

I am using the community edition from IntelliJ because I don't need the "Enterprise" features of an IDE (like Create new Servlet, or EJB, or deploy to JBoss or Tomcat), I just use shell scripts to do the deployment myself, and it works on both *nix and M$ Windows platforms :)

Still, I use Eclipse just to use the powerful plugin written for Jazz Source code management. (until I figure out how to use jazz from inside IntelliJ)

And for green-field projects, I use spring boot of course (When I have the option :) )

Eclipse vs Intellj which one you prefer?

I've faced some problem while trying to compile & link my "Hello World" Cpp App in Eclipse (using "cgywin")..

First, make sure you follow this : Setup cygwin toolchain in Eclipse CDT

Then, If you face a problem like :

/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find -luser32

Then, here's the solution (The question and the answer posted by me @ SO)

Workaround to find generated SQL on OAS

Al salmo Alykom,

I don't know if this post will be valuable or not, but let me tell you about it.

I am using Toplink as a JPA implementation on OAS from within Eclipse IDE, I am try to show the generated SQL by putting the following property in persistence.xml:

<property name="toplink.logging.level" value="FINE" />

It is supposed to work, but don't for me.

So, I find a workaround to find the generated SQL.
You will find the generated SQL here: "app_serv_home\j2ee\home\log\oc4j\log.xml"

Beware, the file is huge, so try to use a utility to tail the file for you (ex use GNU tail)
