Eclipse IDE + ejb-jee5 archetype == NPE

java.lang.NullPointerException at org.eclipse.jst.ejb.ui.internal.wizard.

NewEnterpriseBeanWizard.postPerformFinish(NewEnterpriseBeanWizard.java:76)

If the lines above look familiar to you, try this:

  1. Get to the project's Build Path.
  2. Ensure you're in the Source tab.
  3. Click on the 'Excluded: **' element at 'your-project/src/main/resources' folder.
  4. Press the Remove button, then OK.

The problem is solved!

Untranslatable

Just realized that I cannot find an English match for the frequently employed Russian idiom "kachat' prava" (literally "to sway one's rights"). Rough translation "to insist on observance of one's rights" is unsatisfactory since it drops the point of the idiom. Original meaning emphasizes the very uselessness of such an ever untimely activity. Apparently that's just another culture-specific stuff.

The Contemporary Library of Babel

Mighty Google is able to find at least one web page for a query comprising three random common words. Such as "rapid scotch fee" or "mushroom gravity deploy".

Still trying to challenge it.

Name Correction

"IT-Special" magazine should rename itself "The Buzzword Observer". It is my strong conviction.
