  • IntelliJ IDEA Change Sets - Cool, but I want more!

    I’ve been using the IDEA 6 EAP for a week or so now. In terms of what I use day to day, most of the new features aren’t relevant to me, it’s just a bit smoother in some areas like CSS and JSP editing. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to get the EMMA integration working […]

  • Upgrading Pebble from 2.0.0-M2 to 2.0.0-M3 / no, this isn't the Pebble blog

    Have just upgraded the blog software to Pebble 2.0.0-M3 which was just released, which was quite painless.

    As the post above indicates, the following changes are needed:

    Add the multiBlog property to the applicationContext-pebble.xml file.
    Changed configuration of pebbleUserDetailsService and added pebbleSecurityRealm to the applicationContext-acegi-security.xml file.
    Added a ROLE_BLOG_PUBLISHER role that can publish/unpublish blog entries.
    Changes to the CSS

    I basically […]
