by kai 20/04/2013

The other day, I tried to help someone on the Railo mailing list to get an installation of Railo 4 on OS X going. Their problems were manyfold: They tried the OS X installer first, but ran into an issue with other file types besides CFML not properly being resolved by Tomcat (the OS X […]

IntelliJ 12.1 has been released

by kai 13/04/2013

Recently the Jetbrains team have released IntelliJ 12.1. It’s a free upgrade for owners of IntelliJ 12, therefore it was a no-brainer for me to apply the upgrade – and IntelliJ is my default go-to-IDE anyway. Unfortunately there are no noticeable new features or fixes for the CFML plugin that made it into version 12.1. […]

by kai 02/04/2013

So – more on the whole Java 7 thing again. The other day I got an “Illegal key size or default parameters” error on one of my dev VMs. I was using the VM for quite a while and from what I could see the codebase had not changed significantly. Weird. All of a sudden […]

by kai 01/04/2013

Aaaand… another JVM update…

by kai 10/03/2013

I thought it’d be over, but it turns out that I was wrong. Oracle has pushed out JDK/JRE 1.6.0_43 – their first (of maybe many) security bugfixes of Java 6 post-end-of-support. The new security baseline is now 1.6.0_43, check out the release notes and the relevant Security Alert document. From what I can see the patched […]
