Robotlegs Plugin for IntelliJ
So I started a little plugin a few days ago. I’m writing it for IntelliJ and it’s designed to make your life a little simpler, letting you navigate between classes with known ‘Up’ and ‘Down’ relationships in Robotlegs MVCS. Eg, The view is “Up” from the mediator and the service is “Down” from a command.
IntelliJ is really cool.

Mount VBox shared dir as normal user in Linux...
Rash wanted to mount a shared folder between his Windows desktop and a Linux guest running inside Virtual Box on said desktop.
He also wanted to be able to own and write to the mounted shared folder as himself, ( aka non-root user).
The syntax to put into /etc/fstab is:
[shared folder name] [mount path] vboxsf uid=[uid],gid=[gid],dmode=0755,fmode=0755 0 0
In Rash’s case this...

Without the Abs-Fac we don’t need ‘IVO’ and we can implement multiple interfaces because the concrete interface is all that our system needs. Sorry if I wasted your time with this drivel.
I’m currently looking at our...

On Robotlegs UI Architectures
There are now Caveats to all my posts.
I am considering everything in this post from the point of view of a N-Tier RIA developer’s point of view.
The Robotlegs MVCS presents a myriad of ways you can work with your tiers, without adding one line of extra framework code or departing from the Best Practices. Then there are the few presentation model mods I’ve seen around, such as Elad...

Verbose is a dirty word
I’m not saying verbose should be a dirty word, just that it does have a pejorative meaning. If you’ve used *nix command line tools often enough, you’ll know that -v is often used as a flag for “verbose”. This usually ends up in some useful information coming out of the log or stdout. -vvv usually means “very verbose” and too much information pours out to...
