Debugger pointer colors in Eclipse

There are two settings to adjust the color of the line pointer while debugging an application in Eclipse. The distinction between them may not clear, so it will be made here.

The settings are located in:

Window | Preferences
General | Editors | Text Editors | Annotations

The settings are Debug Call Stack and Debug Current Instruction Pointer. The latter is the one that shows the line the debugger is currently stopped at. If the "Vertical ruler" checkbox is ticked, a right-pointing arrow will show up along the left edge of the editor window. If the "Overview ruler" box is ticked, then a little marker, the same color as the pointer color, will show up along the right edge of the editor.

For the former item, this refers to the settings that apply to any other line in the call stack. So, the debugger "jumps" around the code when a line in the call stack is selected. The color of that line and its ruler settings compared to the current line can be set differently. Though subtle, a further visual cue between the two pointers is the lighter shade of the right-pointing arrow in the Vertical ruler.

The call stack is available from the Debug view (Window | Show View).

This Stack Overflow answer shows a good example of a call stack.

Skype Now Supports Emergency Calls In the US

With the latest round of updates to Skype , it was noticed today that the instant messaging and VoIP phone service now supports emergency calling in the United States. The release notes for the most recent update to the Android version of Skype indicated that the service now allows calls to be made to US emergency calling systems via 911. Telephony services like Skype, Google Voice , and Vonage typically don't offer this emergency calling ability without some sort of intermediate step like deferring to the phone's default dialer, as is the case with Voice, or setting up a physical address location ahead of time which is how Vonage handles it. The indication is that Skype will handle the 911 calls natively, but when verifying with an account that does not have a Skype phone number assigned to it, it was found that the instructions in the FAQ explaining how to turn on emergency calling are not accurate.

PHP built-in webserver and IPv6 addresses

Though it's difficult to confirm around the Web, it appears as though the IP address scheme the built-in PHP server uses depends on the host name that's provided. If a fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) is used, such as server.domain.tld, then the built-in server will be listening for IPv6 based requests. If the server is started with an IPv4 address identified as the host, then it will naturally listen for IPv4 based requests. The closest to anything official around the Web was a comment in the PHP docs that only seeded this conclusion, at best. But here it is in any case.

Allow Windows authentication using SQL Server driver with DBeaver

DBeaver will allow Microsoft Windows single sign on access when connecting to Microsoft SQL Server using the SQL Server driver (rather than jTDS ). From the driver properties settings, set the integratedSecurity flag to true . Open the Connection configuration panel and choose the Driver properties section. Set the integratedSecurity flag to true . A subtle, but important step is to not provide username and password credentials to the connection.
