Install Maven in Eclipse: the eclipse.ini -vm option
While setting up the Maven for Eclipse, if you use a Java JRE instead of JDK you’ll be prompted like this:
Clicking on the first active text takes you to their Help website – Running Eclipse section where you’ll find a plethora of attributes to set in order to customize your IDE.
You have to go and edit into eclipse.ini, which situated in your Eclipse directory. Being a text file, edit it with your preferred editor. I use very much a free product made by a community of enthusiastic people called Notepad++.
The trickiest part when configuring the “-vm” option in eclipse.ini is that you have to place the path to your jdk on a new line:
…
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_18\
…
and not:
…
-vm C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_18\
…
You can check it visually, by going into configuration options: Help -> About Eclipse Platform, then click Configuration Details button.

SCRUM Presentation

We acknowledged today from Mr. Jens Trompeter, Board Member in Itemis company, that there’s more in SCRUM than just that we learned from the Agile Lab and OOSC class: we had the opportunity to get real life, production-grade advices on how actually this technique (who is used to manage the projects) can help companies to finish projects in a timely and budget manner.
GPS vs aGPS vs WiFi vs GSM localization
about 2 years ago - 1 comment
No method is perfect – GPS needs clear sky, aGPS improves this but still needs some satellites to be seen, GSM works like a charm if you have lots of antennas but falls dramatically if you’re in a remote place and WiFi positioning is good in cities, but absolutely lacks in remote zones. Only the composition of all can cover all the situations encountered in a normal life – crowded city when going to work and big, empty spaces when going to mountains to relax.
Latest Flash UI changes
about 2 years ago - 1 comment
Latest additions :sounds in our application, allowing user to get auditive feedback, background and confirmation for hit sounds for improving the User Experience, creating an immersive experience who tries to transpose the user into the real wood atmosphere, self generating levels, allowing users to improve themselves beyond our ideas about their possibilities: the user gets 60 seconds levels in which he has to hit more and more animals as he becomes better in targeting ( and in ball retrieval 
), changed the aspect ratio of the game from 4:3 to 16:9 to bette use the whiteboard’s surface
Flash UI changes
about 2 years ago - No comments
Since last week the Flash application changed- I added support for numerical keys for hitting. We mapped the numerical keys 1 to 6 to the 6 animals positions that can be hit. This way, it is enough to press a key to simulate the throw of a ball.The reason behind this application architectural change is that we needed an smart way to simulate the sensors that were hit, without actually having the entire setup in our workplace.
iMeet application presentation

iMeet application is ready. I am very proud of this application, as it represents my achievements in fast learning and adapting to: new way of programming, as XCode and Interface Builder truly represent the ModelViewController paradigm; new language- Objective-C, which as any language has its pluses and minuses; new device: mobile devices on which I didn’t work since my experience on Sales Force Automation in TotalSoft company, back in 2005, on Windows CE.
Objective-C: Putting markers on Map control
about 2 years ago - 1 comment
Adding the points to the map is not as intuitive as it might seem, so let’s start by creating a new class called POI – point of interest. Assuming that we have the Latitude and Longitude as NSStrings, we check if they are filled. Then I create the CLLocationCoordonate2D which basically is a tuple of two doubles and then create the point of interest.
The User Interface
about 2 years ago - No comments
This week we work also on the User Interface – the Flash GUI. It was challenging sinceI haven’t previous experience in creating games in Flash. The application creates 4 spots in the bottom of the scene and 2 in the top to show randomly an new animal each time one is hit. This areas are hit areas designed to respond to phisical sensors placed on the back of the board on which the Flash Game will be projected.
