Syntactically parallel elements in indentation

Why it is matter ?

https://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn-history/r130/trunk/javaguide.html#s4.5.1-line-wrapping-where-to-break
"The prime directive of line-wrapping is: prefer to break at a higher syntactic level."

https://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn-history/r130/trunk/javaguide.html#s4.5.2-line-wrapping-indent
"When there are multiple continuation lines, indentation may be varied beyond +4 as desired. In general, two continuation lines use the same indentation level if and only if they begin with syntactically parallel elements."

Cases from real code with bad indentation:
1)

 if ((rcurly != null) && !level.accept(rcurlyPos)
           && (rcurlyMustStart() || startsLine(rcurly))
      && !areOnSameLine(rcurly, lcurly))


2)
details.append("Focused : ").append(file.getPath())
.append(", start date :")
.append(", end date : ");

3)
if (toVisitAst != null
&& (toVisitAst.getParent().getParent().getNextSibling() == null
|| toVisitAst.getParent().getParent().getNextSibling().getType()
== TokenTypes.RCURLY)
&& toVisitAst.getType() == TokenTypes.LITERAL_RETURN
&& toVisitAst.getParent().getNextSibling()== null) { }

Wrong link generation by maven javadoc plugin for org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler

Issue MJAVADOC-423 - wrong link generation for org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler has been successfully created.

New Check: Grammar in names and negative names restrictions

One more ambitions for Checkstyle - check grammar in method names and negative names restrictions.

Reason:
- developers do typos
- not all developers are good in English, and this nightmare to other team members who English by native
- Force developers to avoid negative name usage "isIncorrect()", "isNotIgnoredClass()"

Why negative name is bad approach - as it force to use that Negative Logic in other places.

Example:

Negative logic/name:

public boolean isNotCorrect() {...}

force other to have code like :

if (isNotCorrect())  // OK

if (!isNotCorrect())  // is NOT OK - it is unreadable!!!

So lets remove negative logic/name:

public boolean isCorrect() {...}

force other to have code like :

if (!isCorrect())  // it is OK

if (isCorrect())  // it is OK

BUT live is not that ideal sometime it is convenient to use negative logic or even more it is dependency from thirdparty code or legacy code.

That idea depends on grammar check in names base on vocabulary http://grammarist.com/usage/negative-prefixes/

we need options to check "boolean methods" "setter/getter" .... user might not need to test all names, option to check base on visibility - public/private/... .


http://www.liferay.com/community/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Javadoc+Guidelines#section-Javadoc+Guidelines-General+Guidelines , search for "Refer to parameters with "the", not "a" or "given"" - it will be good validation

Class: Initial and detailed description # "The first sentence of the initial class description starts with a verb (two verbs, in fact)."

How to change priority by filter in Zimbra web client

There is no such functionality in web client :(. But Zimbra support Priority setup, while composing, and display in mail list.

Proposals for Aqua mail-client android application

I use to have "Touchdown for smartphones" application to read mails for MSExchange mail server - perfect application and very customizable ! I loved it! But I moved to IMAP account and Touchdown does not support IMAP, so I have to switch from it to other application.

I did investigation of mail clients for Android and following application is really great and convenient for my workflow and usage.
Aqua mail client.

List of my proposals to make me forget about Touchdown:
1) New option: Do not mark Read on server.
2) How it is possible to filter UnRead mails in Folder
3) hide amount of mails in folder
4) new potion: hide Folder from list of synced Folders

Checkstyle Check to detect System.out.println usage in java code

Examples of usage in code:
1.
import static java.lang.System.out;
...
out.println("hello!")

2.
System.out.println("hello");

Requirement:
- Analyse import for short name usage "import static java.lang.System.out;"

Possiblle name for Check: ForbidQualifierUsage

Options:
forbiddenFullQualifierNames : String List-  qualifier that we will search for (Example:"System.err.println")
ignoredClasses : Regex -  ignores (Example:"com.mycompany.console.Main")

Bad sides:
1) we can not distinguish methods by parameters so any user method with same name and without package usage will be false-positive if not all methods are investigated to detects overlap of static import in local declaration .

import static java.lang.System.setIn;

public static void setIn(InputStream in) {
    // just a method with similar signature that is compiled
    // if you comment out that method System.setIn will be used (tested in Intelij Idea)
}

public static void main(String... args) {
    setIn(null); // it is local if local method is defined
}

2) Any overloaded methods(same name but different parameters) will be false-positives or known limitations :) :

   System.out.println("hi", "hi")

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se7/html/jls-7.html#jls-7.5.3

It is permissible for one single-static-import declaration to import several fields or types with the same name, or several methods with the same name and signature. 

So JDK is OK with multiple imports by single static import, so overloaded identifiers are ok.


Resolution:
So it is not complete solution, kind of same level of false positives as RegExp search on code approach.
Could we close eyes on that false-positives?
do you have other ideas and proposal?

Github need to have search of files feature in repo

I will be lovely if Github create search in repo at least by file name (with support of matching by Camel case), it will be very useful during sources investigation. Developers always search for files, and gihub is not just a web hosting - it is online editor, and allow contribution to project without clone to local PC.

This feature exists - https://github.com/blog/793-introducing-the-file-finder just press "t" and search appear.

Problem with switching LibeOffice windows by Alt+Tab and in vertical panel

Issue is open for this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/844119
Please vote to raise importance of this bug.

Workaround suggested Matthias Niess in bug comments:

switching works fine if open SpreadSheet from Dash and then open files from Cntl+O.

as an option you can install LibreOffice4 from official site - but in this case you loose Unity integration of menu, (instructions for installation).

update:
looks like fixed in latest ubuntu updates (March 2013), I aslo updated Libreoffice to 4.0 by http://www.webupd8.org/2013/03/install-libreoffice-40-in-ubuntu-1204.html

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-4-0
sudo apt-get update

.... and do install from ubuntu Center, and now Libreoffice works fine.

Thunderbird: Open link with different browser

I am just searching for convenient way to open links from Thunderbird in different Web browsers.

For FireFox there are good plugin Open With. I wish to have such addon in Thunderbird. I asked author   ... but no answer.

I in one year I searched the same problem and found a lot of requests/question for the same problem - :).

One of workaround that I use now - http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/applications/461076-how-do-i-get-thunderbird-open-links-google-chrome.html

Copy paste from this forum:

* Navigate to "Edit --> Preferences --> Advanced" in the Thunderbird menus and click on the "Config Editor" button.
    * Search for the following three entries:
          o network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http
          o network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https
          o network.protocol-handler.warn-external.ftp
    * Set the value of each of these three entries to true (you can do this by double-clicking on each entry, then close the "about:config" window and click "OK" on the "Thunderbird Preferences" window).
