Ubuntu Setup

I just moved to Ubuntu from Windows for numerous reasons and as I'm setting up my Ubuntu I have listed few points for future me. Here it goes..

Ubuntu 14.04 comes default with Java 7, I need Java 8 for new projects and Java 6 for some legacy projects.

GlassFish V3 admin console taking too much time to load.

If you have installed Glassfish V3 and trying to load admin console, but after signing in, is it taking too much time to get to the main page ? Do you have server.log entry like this: admin console: initSessionAttributes() Cannot refresh Catalog : Connection timed out then its time to tweak some files. Here its how: 1. Update the %GLASSFISH_HOME/glassfish/domains/domain1/domain.xml -Dcom.sun.enterprise.tools.admingui.NO_NETWORK=true This will block up the News item, the registration item, etc 2. Remove update tool jar (Backup and remove this JAR) %GLASSFISH_HOME/glassfish/modules/console-updatecenter-plugin.jar Delete this dir: %GLASSFISH_HOME/glassfish/domains/domain1/osgi-cache %GLASSFISH_HOME/glassfish/domains/domain1/generated Now start the server (bin/asadmin start-domain) and you will see the admin console won't be hang up and take you directly to main page.

Java Generics: Why I get "name clash" exception when I override methods with different "type" parameter ?

import java.util.*; class Parent { void foo(List<String> list) { System.out.println("parent"); } } class Child extends Parent { void foo(List<Integer> list) { System.out.println("child"); } } When you compile this code you will get an error like Parent.java:7: name clash: foo(java.util.List<java.lang.Integer>) in Child and foo(java.util.List<java.lang.String>) in Parent have the same erasure, yet neither overrides the other class Child extends Parent { ^ 1 error This "name clash" error thrown because of "type erasure" thing when "generics" code gets complied. Let’s see how, When we complied any generics code, the compiler removes the type from the code and treat it as a simple pre Java 1.5 code, like, in our case, compiler saw something like this, import java.util.*; class Parent { void foo(List list) { // oops, <String> get erased. System.out.println("parent"); } } class Child extend...
