I don&#39;t have Eclipse installed to check, but from some searching it looks like there are two things to do.

To change the default format for new files:

`Window -&gt; Preferences -&gt; General -&gt; Workspace -&gt; New text file line delimiter`

To convert the file that&#39;s open:

`File -&gt; Convert Line Delimiters To -&gt; Unix`


Take look of following image for changing format:

I&#39;m currently working on a large and old C++ application that has had many developers before me. There is a lot of &quot;dead code&quot; in the project, classes and functions that aren&#39;t used by anyone anymore. 

What tools are available for C++ to make a analysis of large code base to detect and refactor dead code? Note: I&#39;m not talking about test coverage tool like gcov.

How do you find dead code in your project?

NUnit supports a feature where you can specify a set of data inputs for a unit test to be run multiple times.

    [RowTest]
    [Row(1001,1,2,3)]

    [Row(1,2,1001,3)]

I have a date in the following format: &lt;code&gt;2010-03-01T00:00:00-08:00&lt;/code&gt;

I have thrown the following SimpleDateFormats at it to parse it:

    private static final SimpleDateFormat[] FORMATS = {
            new SimpleDateFormat(&quot;yyyy-MM-dd&#39;T&#39;HH:mm:ssZ&quot;), //ISO8601 long RFC822 zone
            new SimpleDateFormat(&quot;yyyy-MM-dd&#39;T&#39;HH:mm:ssz&quot;), //ISO8601 long long form zone
            new SimpleDateFormat(&quot;yyyy-MM-dd&#39;T&#39;HH:mm:ss&quot;), //ignore timezone
            new SimpleDateFormat(&quot;yyyyMMddHHmmssZ&quot;), //ISO8601 short
            new SimpleDateFormat(&quot;yyyyMMddHHmm&quot;),
            new SimpleDateFormat(&quot;yyyyMMdd&quot;), //birthdate from NIST IHE C32 sample
            new SimpleDateFormat(&quot;yyyyMM&quot;),
            new SimpleDateFormat(&quot;yyyy&quot;) //just the year
        };

I have a convenience method that uses those formats like so:

    public static Date figureOutTheDamnDate(String wtf) {
        if (wtf == null) {
            return null;
        }
        Date retval = null;
        for (SimpleDateFormat sdf : FORMATS) {
            try {
                sdf.setLenient(false)
                retval = sdf.parse(wtf);
                System.out.println(&quot;Date:&quot; + wtf + &quot; hit on pattern:&quot; + sdf.toPattern());
                break;
            } catch (ParseException ex) {
                retval = null;
                continue;
            }
        }
    
        return retval;
    }

It seems to hit on the pattern &lt;code&gt;yyyyMMddHHmm&lt;/code&gt; but returns the date as &lt;code&gt;Thu Dec 03 00:01:00 PST 2009&lt;/code&gt;.

What is the correct pattern to parse this date? 

UPDATE: I don&#39;t NEED the time zone parsing. I don&#39;t anticipate having time sensitive issues moving between zones, but how would I get the &quot;-08:00&quot; zone format to parse????

Unit test:

    @Test
    public void test_date_parser() {
        System.out.println(&quot;\ntest_date_parser&quot;);
        //month is zero based, are you effing kidding me
        Calendar d = new GregorianCalendar(2000, 3, 6, 13, 00, 00);
        assertEquals(d.getTime(), MyClass.figureOutTheDamnDate(&quot;200004061300&quot;));
        assertEquals(new GregorianCalendar(1950, 0, 1).getTime(), MyClass.figureOutTheDamnDate(&quot;1950&quot;));
        assertEquals(new GregorianCalendar(1997, 0, 1).getTime(),  MyClass.figureOutTheDamnDate(&quot;199701&quot;));
        assertEquals(new GregorianCalendar(2010, 1, 25, 15, 19, 44).getTime(),   MyClass.figureOutTheDamnDate(&quot;20100225151944-0800&quot;));
    
        //my machine happens to be in GMT-0800
        assertEquals(new GregorianCalendar(2010, 1, 15, 13, 15, 00).getTime(),MyClass.figureOutTheDamnDate(&quot;2010-02-15T13:15:00-05:00&quot;));
        assertEquals(new GregorianCalendar(2010, 1, 15, 18, 15, 00).getTime(), MyClass.figureOutTheDamnDate(&quot;2010-02-15T18:15:00-05:00&quot;));
    
        assertEquals(new GregorianCalendar(2010, 2, 1).getTime(), MyClass.figureOutTheDamnDate(&quot;2010-03-01T00:00:00-08:00&quot;));
        assertEquals(new GregorianCalendar(2010, 2, 1, 17, 0, 0).getTime(), MyClass.figureOutTheDamnDate(&quot;2010-03-01T17:00:00-05:00&quot;));
    }

Output from unit test:

    test_date_parser
    Date:200004061300 hit on pattern:yyyyMMddHHmm
    Date:1950 hit on pattern:yyyy

Java SimpleDateFormat for time zone with a colon separator?

I want to convert the first character of a string to Uppercase and the rest of the characters to lowercase. How can I do it?  

Example:

    String inputval=&quot;ABCb&quot; OR &quot;a123BC_DET&quot; or &quot;aBcd&quot;
    String outputval=&quot;Abcb&quot; or &quot;A123bc_det&quot; or &quot;Abcd&quot;

I&#39;m trying to define a GUI layout using XML files in Android. As far as I can find out, there is no way to specify that your widgets should use a custom font (e.g. one you&#39;ve placed in assets/font/) in XML files and you can only use the system installed fonts.

I know that, in the Java code, I could change the font of each widget manually using unique IDs. Alternatively, I could iterate over all the widgets in Java to make this change, but this would probably be very slow.

What other options do I have? Is there any better ways to making widgets that have a custom look? I don&#39;t particularly want to have to manually change the font for every new widget I add.

After searching through some existing libraries for JSON, I have finally ended up with these two:

 - Jackson
 - Google GSon

I am a bit partial towards GSON, but word on the net is that GSon suffers from a certain celestial performance [issue][1] (as of Sept 2009).

I am continuing my comparison; in the meantime, I&#39;m looking for help to make up my mind.

Java classes are generally divided into logical &quot;blocks&quot;. Is there a convention to mark these sections? Ideally, it would be supported by the major IDEs.

I personally use this method:

    //// Section name here ////

However, some editors seem to have problems with this.

As an example, in Objective-C code you can use this method:

    #pragma mark -
    #pragma mark Section name here

This will result in a menu in XCode that looks like this:

What is the Auto-Alignment Shortcut Key in Eclipse?

I&#39;m running Windows 7 **with UAC enabled**. I&#39;ve always found it weird that [Eclipse][1] doesn&#39;t use an installer and doesn&#39;t use the AppData folder to store its data in Windows, but lately I&#39;ve had to reinstall it a couple times (hard drive problems) and I&#39;ve been wondering if I am really putting it in the best place.

I copy the eclipse folder to my `C:\Program Files\` directory and make a shortcut on my start menu, and then pin it to my taskbar. However, eclipse has problems so I go to properties, the compatibility tab, and enable &quot;Run as administrator&quot;. Then every time I open eclipse I have to hit yes on the UAC window, but everything works correctly, except for one side effect: my touchpad doesn&#39;t scroll any windows in eclipse. This is because the touchpad program is running as a normal user, so it can&#39;t modify eclipse running as administrator. So, then I have to close and reopen my touchpad software as an administrator.

Anyway, long story short... **Where is the best place to put the eclipse folder in Windows, and why?**

---

Edit: I just found [a possible suggestion][2], feel free to comment. Sounds like I can just run it as administrator once the first time and set up all my plugins and such, and then run it as a normal user for my normal tasks (coding). I can&#39;t believe I never thought of doing this, but I may stick to the Program Files directory and give this approach a try unless I get a better answer here.

[Ninite][3] places Eclipse in C:\eclipse. Ever since asking this question, that has been my install location for Eclipse. Eclipse still does not properly handle permissions when run out of the Program Files folder.

What folder should I install Eclipse to on Windows?

I developed a dynamic web project in Eclipse. 
I can access the app through my browser using the following URL: 

    http://localhost:8080/MyDynamicWebApp

I want to change the access URL to:

    http://localhost:8080/app

To do so, I changed the context root from the project &quot;Properties | Web Project Settings | Context Root&quot;.
However, the web app still has the same access URL. I have re-deployed the application on Tomcat and re-started the Tomcat, but the access URL is the same as earlier.

I found that there was no `server.xml` file attached with the `WAR` file. Without the `server.xml` file attached, how is the Tomcat determining that the context root of my web app is `/MyDynamicWebApp` and allowing me to access the application through this context root URL?

For a project at work, we&#39;re considering using the Maven plugin for Eclipse to automate our builds. Right now the procedure is far more complicated than it ought to be, and we&#39;re hoping that Maven will simplify things to a one-click build.

Or should I create a new Maven project and manually copy over all source files, libs, etc.

I have a text file containing unwanted null characters (ASCII NUL, `\0`). When I try to view it in `vi` I see `^@` symbols, interleaved in normal text. How can I:

1. Identify which lines in the file contain null characters? I have tried grepping for `\0` and `\x0`, but this did not work.

2. Remove the null characters? Running `strings` on the file cleaned it up, but I&#39;m just wondering if this is the best way?

I have a ridiculous question due to a ridiculous problem. 

Normally if I want to get the contents of an environment variable in UNIX shell, I can do

    echo ${VAR}

Let&#39;s assume, due to my ridiculous situation, that this isn&#39;t possible. 

How do I get the contents of an environment variable to stdout, without someone who is looking at the command itself (not the output), see the value of the environment variable.

I can picture the solution being something like `echo env(NAME_OF_VAR)` although I can&#39;t seem to find it. The solution has to work in sh.

PS I can&#39;t write a script for this, it must be a built in unix command (i know, ridiculous problem)

Thanks (and sorry for the absurdity)


UNIX, get environment variable

OS: Linux, Language: pure C

I&#39;m moving forward in learning C programming in general, and C programming under UNIX in a special case.

I detected a strange (for me) behaviour of the `printf()` function after using a `fork()` call. 


**Code**

    #include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
    #include &lt;system.h&gt;

    int main()
    {
        int pid;
        printf( &quot;Hello, my pid is %d&quot;, getpid() );

        pid = fork();
        if( pid == 0 )
        {
                printf( &quot;\nI was forked! :D&quot; );
                sleep( 3 );
        }
        else
        {
                waitpid( pid, NULL, 0 );
                printf( &quot;\n%d was forked!&quot;, pid );
        }
        return 0;
    }


**Output**

    Hello, my pid is 1111
    I was forked! :DHello, my pid is 1111
    2222 was forked!

Why did the second &quot;Hello&quot; string occur in the child&#39;s output?

Yes, it is exactly what the parent printed when it started, with the parent&#39;s `pid`.

But! If we place a `\n` character at the end of each string we get the expected output:

    #include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
    #include &lt;system.h&gt;

    int main()
    {
        int pid;
        printf( &quot;Hello, my pid is %d\n&quot;, getpid() ); // SIC!!

        pid = fork();
        if( pid == 0 )
        {
                printf( &quot;I was forked! :D&quot; ); // removed the &#39;\n&#39;, no matter
                sleep( 3 );
        }
        else
        {
                waitpid( pid, NULL, 0 );
                printf( &quot;\n%d was forked!&quot;, pid );
        }
        return 0;
    }


**Output**:

    Hello, my pid is 1111
    I was forked! :D
    2222 was forked!

Why does it happen? Is it correct behaviour, or is it a bug?

I am making the effort to learn Vim.

When I paste code into my document from the clipboard, I get extra spaces at the start of each new line:


    line
      line
        line
 

I know you can turn off auto indent but I can&#39;t get it to work because I have some other settings conflicting or something (which look pretty obvious in my .vimrc but don&#39;t seem to matter when I take them out). 

How do I turn off auto indenting when I paste code but still have vim auto indent when I am writing code?  Here is my `.vimrc` file:

    set expandtab  
    set tabstop=2  
    set shiftwidth=2  
    set autoindent  
    set smartindent  
    set bg=dark  
    set nowrap  


Turning off auto indent when pasting text into vim

I was wondering if there was any key mapping in Vim to allow me to indent certain lines of code (whether those lines have been selected in visual mode, or *n* lines above/below current cursor position).

So basically something that converts the following 

    def my_fun(x, y):
        return x + y

to

    #def my_fun(x, y):
    #    return x + y

I am okay with using either `#` or `&quot;&quot;&quot;` for commenting out the relevant lines. Ideally, I would also like the same keymapping to uncomment the lines if the given lines have been commented out.

Assume I&#39;ve got some arbitrary layout of splits in vim.

    |           | three|
    |           |      |

Is there a way to swap `one` and `two` and maintain the same layout?  It&#39;s simple in this example, but I&#39;m looking for a solution that will help for more complex layouts.

I guess I should be more clear.  My previous example was a simplification of the actual use-case.  With an actual instance:
