Filters to add to Eclipse projects

Eclipse has the ability to prevent certain files from being incorporated into projects or from being scanned during file searches. The limits are applied by way of patterns in the file names.

It may well be the case that several IDEs are used in the development of projects which will litter the projects' folders with IDE support files. These can get in the way of Eclipse, but can be ignored with this resource limiting provision.

To get there:

Right click on a project
Choose Properties
Expand Resource
Choose Resource Filters

Some common "exclude" filters might be:

.buildpath (file-level should be fine)
.git (folder-level, and should exclude children as well)
*.komodoproject (file-level should be fine)
.project (folder-level, and should exclude children as well)
.settings (folder-level, and should exclude children as well)
*.sublime-* (file-level should be fine)

Adding these filters to an Eclipse project should allow the placement of project files for Komodo and Sublime Text without "cluttering-up" the file listings in Eclipse with these project files.

Naturally, this can be translated, or expanded, to apply to whatever external software might be necessary as well. For instance, if Subversion is the source control of choice, then the git exclusion would be ".svn" instead.

It should also be noted that this same technique can be applied to incorporated files into a project as well as opposed to preventing them from being incorporated.

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.
