Here is a quick example on how to get a database of what is contained in jars:
Step
1 of 4) Create a file containing:
#!/bin/bash
jarfolder=/usr/share
jarlist=/tmp/jarlist.txt
declare -a jarclass
find $jarfolder -name "*.jar" > $jarlist
for jarfile in `cat $jarlist`;
do
jarname=`basename $jarfile`;
jarfolder=`dirname $jarfile`;

jarclass=( $( jar -tvf $jarfile | awk '{ print $8 }' ) )
for aclass in "${jarclass[@]}"
do
echo $jarname $jarfolder $aclass;
done
done

2 of 4) Edit top 2 lines if needed/wanted.

3 of 4) Run the script and capture the output. You will get output like this:
maven-core-2.0.6-uber.jar /usr/share/maven/lib org/apache/maven/wagon/events/SessionEvent.class
maven-core-2.0.6-uber.jar /usr/share/maven/lib org/apache/maven/wagon/events/TransferEventSupport.class
maven-core-2.0.6-uber.jar /usr/share/maven/lib org/apache/maven/wagon/events/SessionEventSupport.class
maven-core-2.0.6-uber.jar /usr/share/maven/lib org/apache/maven/wagon/resource/Resource.class
maven-core-2.0.6-uber.jar /usr/share/maven/lib org/apache/maven/wagon/Wagon$1.class
maven-core-2.0.6-uber.jar /usr/share/maven/lib org/apache/maven/wagon/Wagon.class
Note: The list has 3 fields: Jar file name, Jar path, Class name.

http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/ I want to try out the new wget and getopts commands!

Where to get hudson: https://hudson.dev.java.net/
If you have wget then you can do this:
/usr/local/bin/wget -N --no-check-certificate http://hudson.gotdns.com/latest/hudson.war

http://hudson.jboss.org/hudson/ is a real live Hudson site used by jboss.org

http://fisheye4.atlassian.com/browse/~raw,r=12517/hudson/trunk/hudson/pl... is not working for me because my cvs does not parse the huge string that I am using.

I logged into dev.java.net and review this program. It uses stringBuilder in a wasteful way. in arrayToString it creates a new stringBuilder for each line of the modules list. It should use append instead.

Also, since many CVS clients are old, the servers are old, it is prone to failure in many ways. It should not put the whole module list on one line. It should run cvs rtag for each module individually. Still, it still just use one stringBuilder object.

Google Chrome Comic is really a comic strip about the new browser call Chrome.

For now http://www.google.com/chrome is the supposed home for this site. It gives a file not found. So, they still have more releasing to do!

Based on webkit as well as other open source projects. At the end of the comic Google seems to be taking a jab at Microsoft. They certainly could have created a closed and proprietary new browser. While never mentioning Microsoft by name, what other browser is proprietary? None that I can think off.

If they can make money off of open source projects, Microsoft should find out how. Also, they should port Developers Studio over to the Mac.

Chrome will be coming soon!

http://develop-one.net/blog/2008/08/27/HugADeveloper.aspx is a sad video, since it is so true.

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/macros/SimpleSwitchFramework.aspx is an example of making a custom switch for devenv. I really need to get to know msbuild.
