Review for Maven 3.0 Cook Book of PacktPublishing

http://www.packtpub.com/apache-maven-3-0-cookbook/book
review: of http://java.dzone.com/articles/apache-maven-3-cookbook

This book is targeted to people that are not familiar with maven at all.
Good start point, and nothing else for close to advanced user.

Smth that I found useful:
- shell command "tree -a" to show folder structure in terminal.
- few active profiles could be used in build "mvn install -P profile1, profile2"    or "mvn install !profile1, !profile2"
in maven2 I had problem with profiles to generate maven site, look like in maven3 it is fixed.

Attention. As usually right books appear after few useless:

Xmodmap and xbindkeys to disable Media buttons

Dell Vostro 1510 have weird problem with constant permanent media button - stop.

Here is log of my changes that I did on Fedora(I hope this will help fro Ubuntu too):

Cut margins for PDF file to ease reading on Kindle DX

That works best for me is: pyPdf + custom script.

Description: just specify how much should be cropped. No huge difference in size of result PDF.

Install pyPdf module: "sudo yum install pyPdf"(Fedora) or "sudo apt-get install python-pyPdf"(Ubuntu)

Save scripts to "pdf_crop.py"
Usage:
"-m" mean  margin = "left top right bottom"
Examples:
python pdf_crop.py -m "25 30 7 25" -i progit.pdf
python pdf_crop.py -m "-5 0 -5 0" -i java_concurrency_in_practice.pdf


Consider also: calibre (in ubuntu repo), k2pdfopt, PaperCrop, and pdfread.

Pdfcop is useful tool by means of it I could easily read PDFs on it. It removes margins/borders of PDF.
This tool is not ideal - it always increase size of document in 2 till 100 times, even ones from 3Mb to 540Mb.

On Fedora:
sudo yum install texlive-utils
usage:
pdfcrop input.pdf output.pdf

Ubuntu users could try.

Also consider PDFEdit application
sudo yum install pdfedit
or
sudo apt-get install pdfedit

Example of cut is here , but I failed to use it.

Additional tools that could come in handy are here.

Vertical panel in Ubuntu 10.04

0. Screen before, default ubunu view, as you can see that we have shortage of vertical space and plenty of  horizontal that is wasted and not used  - use vertical panel.

1. install DockbarX
http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/DockbarX?content=101604

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dockbar-main/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install dockbarx
sudo apt-get install dockbarx-themes-extra

2. Make top Panel vertical: right click on it in context menu select "Properties", Orientation = Right.

Right is more preferable as usually users work at left side of screen, and all other should be far and not distracted. Additionally majority of users are right-handed and all tools and switchers should be placed right.

3. Add more laconic "Main menu" to panel, right click over panel, in context menu select "Add", in list select "Main menu". Remove old menu, that is not good for vertical layout(right click over it and "Remove from this panel"). Move new menu to the top, right click over it and select "Move".

4. Change width of panel to 44 pixels. 

5. Add to panel new applet "DockbarX", move it up  "Main menu" and lock it on panel.

6. Bottom panel could be deleted. 

7. Change theme to light. Main Menu -> System -> Preferences -> Appearance. Select "Clear look" theme but change icons to to Humanity in "Customize".

8. Remove "Indicator Applet Session" from right panel - its functional will appear in  Main menu.

9. Date-Time should be configured to show only time in "Preferences".

10. System monitor could be added to panel as applet. Background color should be changed to white and length to 20pixels.

11. Enjoy result,and full usage of vertical space of the screen:

How to remove Ubuntu Linux from dual boot

Source: http://www.raymond.cc/forum/linux/9367-how-to-remove-ubuntu-linux-from-dual-boot-%5Btutorial%5D.html

    Everyone who uses Ubuntu know how to remove Ubuntu when you installed it with wubi. But sometimes it's hard to remove (uninstall) Ubuntu when you installed it in separate partition (without wubi).

    Some people may ask "why not just delete Ubuntu partitions?". No we can't do like this because Ubuntu installs a boot loader called GRUB into the Master Boot Record (MBR), if you delete Ubuntu partitions all the data will be deleted but not GRUB! So when your restart your PC, GRUB will look for Ubuntu , when it does not find Ubuntu it show some error and you cannot even boot into windows. So here I'm going to show you two ways to safely remove Linux.

    -------------------------------

    First (Using MbrFix)

       1. Download mbfix from here. http://download.cnet.com/MbrFix/3000-2094_4-10485990.html
       2. Extract all files in mbrfix.zip to C:\.
       3. Open Command Prompt (start->run-> type cmd -> OK).
       4. Type cd \ and press enter.
       5. Then type mbrfix /drive 0 fixmbr /yes and press enter.
       6. Now you can delete Ubuntu partitions (/, swap etc) using Easeus Partition Manager or Windows Disk Management or other partition editor.
       7. Restart your PC.

    This will overwrite GRUB with Windows boot loader . So you will see Windows boot loader instead of GRUB.

    Second (Using Windows CD)

    XP Users:

       1. Boot your PC with Windows XP CD and select Repair.
       2. Then select the OS, once you are there you'll have a command line.
       3. Type Administrator password. If Admin password is blank, just press Enter.
       4. Type fixmbr, and then press Enter.
       5. Restart PC.
       6. Delete Ubuntu Partitions.

    Vista Users:

       1. Boot PC with Windows Vista installation disc.
       2. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.
       3. Click Repair your computer.
       4. Click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.
       5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Command Prompt.
       6. Type Bootrec.exe, and then press Enter.
       7. Delete Ubuntu Partitions.

    This will also overwrite GRUB with Windows boot loader.

    Notes:

    (i) If you have any doubts about using Recovery Console read this and this.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307654
http://askbobrankin.com/fix_mbr.html

    (ii) It's always good to back up MBR. (Raymond had written an excellent article about that.)

Ubuntu how to install and setup Krusader for convenient work

Install krusader:
sudo apt-get install krusader

Launch krusader:

on first launch Krusader will offer to configure it or you can continue configuration in any time by

selecting menu Settings -> Configure Krusader.

For windows user I suggest select TotalCommander way of selection:  

specify gnome teminal: "gnome-terminal --geometry=150x30" or update default/unnamed profile in gnome-terminal settings
ATTENTION: in latest Krusader you need to put full path to executable - "/usr/bin/gnome-terminal"

Provide path to gnome sudo and diff tool. I use meld

 That is all. I recommend to open settings of internal editor and remove backups for file editing.
Select any text file in krusader panel, press F4. In window select menu "Settings->Configure Editor"

 Enjoy!

PS: for ubutnu 12.04 consider workaround to not uase backup-files on any file editing, page.
Search my blog for more Krusader related articles.
