Packaging a log4j configuration file in a NetBeans Platform application apparently requires some thinking through. This is what I tried...
I put log4j.xml in src/main/resources/my/package/log4j.xml of some_netbeans_module. The package is a public module package (i.e. classes from this package are used from other packages). I rebuilt the module and confirmed that the file does, in fact, get packaged into the module.
In my classes I get an instance of the logger the way I always do:
static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(ThisClass.class);
Every NetBeans Platform application has a my_app.conf file which makes it possible to set certain properties. This is where I set log4j.conf:
log4j.configuration="/my/package/log4j.xml"
Now, when I run the application, I see the following output:
[INFO] /home/me/my_app/application/target/my_app/bin/../etc/my_app.conf: 5:
log4j.configuration=/my/package/log4j.xml: not found
What is wrong with the above configuration?
In the my_app.conf file if you append the log4j.configuration property to the default_options property, like so:
default_options="...<other options> -J-Dlog4j.configuration=my/package/log4j.xml"
then this option will get passed to the JVM. Notice that the log4j property has -J-D appended to it. The -J is used by NetBeans to delineate JVM properties and the -D is used by the JVM to delineate a system property.
Also you can/should drop the quotes and the initial / as the quotes are not necessary and NetBeans will complain if you have the initial /
The other way to do this, and the way that I prefer since it doesn't require editing the .conf file, is to put the log4j.xml file into the default package. If you have other requirements that prevents you from doing this then remember that you must put the log4j.configuration property in the app's platform.properties file while your in dev mode and running the app inside of the IDE. Like so:
run.args.extra=-J-Dlog4j.configuration=my/package/log4j.xml
Edit: For questions regarding NetBeans Platform you might have better luck posting to the NetBeans Platform Users forum.

I have a react application created using "create react app rewired". I've installed ts-jest and want to be able to customize Jest. I read the documentation from ts-jest and executed npx ts-jest config:init at the root level of my project to create the initial configuration file. To test that jest is indeed using that configuration file, I wrote the following line console.log(window); in a sample test file and modified the configuration such that testEnvironment is set to "node".
I am expecting the test to fail due to window being undefined, but I am getting the window object back. I tried renaming the file to jest.config.ts and I got the same result.
I did a global search across all the files to see if there's another configuration file somewhere that is overriding my configurations, but there was none found.
What am I doing wrong? I know jest comes pre-packaged with create-react-app (CRA). I would imagine that create-react-app-rewired would only include some wrapper above CRA so where is it getting its configurations from?
I've come to realize that create-react-app-rewired package had nothing to do with this issue since it is simply a wrapper package that exposes a configure-overrides.js file to allow developers to modify the webpack configurations managed by create-react-app.
The jest.config.ts or jest.config.js config file I created had no effect because create react app (CRA) will generate and use its own jest config file underneath the hood.
I discovered this by happenstance while researching on another issue. A comment by dstapleton92 on GitHub helped me draw this conclusion.
Create React App supports overriding SOME of the values via the "jest" property in package.json file. Upon inspecting the jest config factory function in CRA, testEnvironment property is hard coded to "jsdom" and the key is not exposed as part of the list of overridable properties.
This is why the attempts I made were not successful.
I've installed the checkstyle-idea (v8.16) for IntelliJ, there are two options of Configuration files, 'Sun Checks' and 'Google Checks'.
Is there a specific file for Cactoos project? Because both default options are not working when I check all the project, it returns a tone of error style from the source that is already committed at origin/master
Thank you
No, there isn't.
Cactoos uses qulice for static code analysis in its maven build.
Furthermore, Qulice aggregates several analyzers - not just checkstyle - with custom configuration (and checks in some cases).
So even if you installed plugins for all the analyzers that qulice aggregates (checkstyle, findbugs, etc), you'd have to somehow import those custom checks as well.
I have a huge problem with getting a connection to a Database within my OSGi Application. I searched for 3 days an couldn't find a good solution. Just not working and old stuff. I'm using Bndtools for creating my Bundles.
Can anyone please help I'am very desperate.
Thanks
The most probable cause of this error seems that the package of the class being used is not present in the Import-package directive of the bundle's manifest.mf.
In OSGi environment, each bundle has its own classloader. So, each class will be loaded only once during the application life span. Whenever a class is being used outside of a bundle, the package the class resides in needs to be present in the Export-package attribute of its jar's manifest.mf.
Any client bundle which requires this package/class, should add the entry in its Import-package attribute of its manifest.mf file.
If you are using maven, you can use maven-bundle-plugin. This plugin will take care of generating appropriate manifest import and export headers by scanning the dependencies present in your project's pom.xml.
I'm currently building a new CakePHP app with version 3.0.0-RC1, and trying to install and use the jasig/phpCAS plugin. Using this guide, I've run the following command from the command prompt: composer require jasig/phpcas
This correctly copies the jasig/phpcas files into the vendor directory of my app, but one of the other files that the guide says should be updated (vendor/cakephp-plugins.php) doesn't even exist.
I've had a tough time accessing the plugin. I want to be able to call its static methods, and I keep getting errors of the form: Error: Class 'App\Controller\phpCAS' not found. (The exact directory in the error changes depending on where I'm calling the method from.)
I don't know if this is due to not having the cakephp-plugins.php file, or if I'm not calling the plugin correctly. It's my understanding that if the plugin is loaded I should just be able to call static methods on it like this: phpCAS::methodName()
First of all jasig/phpcas is not a CakePHP plugin. And the vendor/cakephp-plugins.php file is created by the CakePHP plugin installer, so if you don't see such a file, you seem to have either not installed any plugins yet, or you are not using a recent version of the installer, as the creation of this file has been introduced just recently.
Regarding the error about the class not being found, you are missing the leading namespace separator (\phpCAS::methodName()) to access the class in the global namespace, respectively you are missing a proper import (use phpCAS;) that would make the class available in the current namespace.
In case you are not familiar with namespaces, you may want to start with: http://php.net/namespaces
The main problem is: How do i incorporate an appSettings.Config file with a particular build(dev, stage, live)? My appSettings.Config changes the conx strings for data sources based on which server the package is being deployed to. I am able to go through Package configurations and add my appSettings.Config, however, I can only specifically add one file dev, stage, or live. What i need to do is be able to build the solution and based on teh build type incorporate the dev/stage/live appsettings. How could I do this?
You could include all of the configuration files in the install and then just point to the correct one through an environment variable. I know you're wanting to switch the configuration file based on the solution build configuration, but you'll be looking at a complex solution when a simpler alternative exists.
Its quite straight-forward to add registry information during the package install that will set the machine's environment variable under the key:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment\MyVariable
...to the path of the .dtsConfig for the current environment.
