Yesterday Ganymede arrieved. Fresh new Eclipse 3.4 and a tons of plugins as usually.
Some nice new features, feels like a bit faster. But! P2, the new “update system”… grrr. Okay, the old one was bad, I know. But it did work. It took me usually about 30 minutes to assemble an eclipse-jee with AJDT, subversive, q4e, mylyn exts and to import some of my workspaces. Today, with Ganymede and P2 it took me about 4 hours. Ouch. And I still do not have AJDT, and no dependency viewer from q4e.
I hope this will stabilize, and that this will pay off…
Just need to emulate how would an application work in 3 month, or after 2010, or whatever. Think twice before you just change your system time to test.
If you really need to do it, do it from within virtualization. Or…
Or you might face strange effects when you switch back to current time. Some applications depend on files last modified date. And some would check for biggest time ever, to protect them self from using trial for ever…
In our case after switching back to normal time Eclipse WTP just stopped publishing to server… guess why… 
We have a strange animal: A web application with really lots of jars. (Today total of 273 JARs.)
We use Maven 2, Eclipse with WTP, Tomcat, Q4E, etc.., but from these technologies only Eclipse, WTP and Tomcat are relevant for the problem I’d like to describe. Most of developer machines runs Windows XP, and some Windows 2000, and just few Linux.
As we use Maven 2, the jars came form ${user.home}/.m2/repository/ folder. We just let Q4E set up the path for our projects inside Eclipse. For some reason we stack with Q4E 0.3.0, and we tweaked the WTP Server (Tomcat) launch settings, to have all JARs included. We did not used “served modules without publishing”, nor “J2EE Module Dependencies” for few (here) non-relevant reasons.
After adding few new modules (JARs) to the webapp, for few developers the Tomcat Server just failed to start. No log, and nothing in the debug view, nor in the error view. Eclipse WTP were just waiting for Tomcat to start… forever… We were bitterly searching for solution/bug. With no luck. After adding even more JARs, even more developers were complaining: the same problem.

I’ve been playing with LensBaby 2.0 a bit.
I don’t know how, but all of my LensBaby pictures are soooo spooky. I like it. But, khm… Is that something wrong with my brain?!

If you’re serious about photography and you own a dSLR, you probably shoot all your photos in RAW quality. As RAW contains much more information than a simple jpeg or tiff, you need to process it. And that processing is essential step, so you need a good software for it.
Under Linux you’re somewhat limited, but only in quantity… You might be missing Adobe LightRoom, or CaptureOne, or whatever. – Do not forget you still can run a Windows inside of your Linux with VirtualBox or vmware, if you’re addicted to some of those software.
