Tacos 4.0.1 and Tapestry Support for Netbeans 5.5

We had two tapestry-related releases today:

Tacos 4.0.1

Tacos 4.0.1 was released a few hours ago.  
 
It’s mainly a stability release fixing 2 subtle bugs and  
enhancing the ajax encoder (for very pretty and short ajax urls). 
 
Make sure to also check out the previously undocumented but powerful 
ajax-enabled Table component. 
 
Thanks to all that contributed… 
 
Changes: 

* Docs for tacos:Table component. 
* Load external js synchronously. Fixes Bug127. 
* AjaxSubmit posts all the AjaxLinkSubmits before it. Fixes Bug130. 
* Do not clear current document after error (a failed ajax-post). 
* Jdk1.4 compatible class format for maven generated artifacts. 
* Add StringToListConverter. Allows updateComponents parameter to be specified as a comma-delimited String. 

* Add uniqueNames parameter in AjaxForm – forces the html name of each input control to stem from the component’s idPath (instead of the component’s id). 
* Support validators and translator in HtmlArea. Fixes Bug128. 
* Make buttons in tacos:Palette work. Fixes Bug129. 
* Remove hardcoded class attribute from tacos:Table. 
* Easier way for defining ajax exception and stale-session pages. 
* Enhance AjaxDirectServiceEncoder for ever prettier ajax urls.  

* Corrected links to tapestry’s component docs. 

nbtapestrysupport

Just released the first version of nbtapestrysupport.

It provides:

  • Hyperlink support in Tapestry configuration files for class names, files and libraries… CTRL+click everywhere!!!
  • Autocomplete in Tapestry configuration files for class names, files and others
  • Templates for new Tapestry files

Download the 2 nbms, then install the generic module first and then the tapestry module.

Enjoy!

English2Greek translation in Firefox

English2Greek translation in Firefox

I’ve been busy translating to greek an OS app lately… http://www.in.gr/dictionary has been a friend, but i needed more!

So, upon taking a look at Build Your Own Firefox Search Engine i quickly came up with this. As the article describes, copy it in your Firefox/searchplugins folder (optionally adding there this icon) and you’re ready to go.

But as always, there’s a faster way for this… Mozilla’s directory already contains this… grrrrrrrr… Which reminds me of a quote of the first chess coach of the very best Garry Kasparov : “I always tell Garry to think first and then move. But sometimes he does the opposite!”

PS. Just saw this
new tutorial. It contains the OpenSearch description format for search plugins that is supported by both FF 2.0 and IE7… Interesting read.
