01:24 pdurbin "not enough memory to compile" sounds like quittin' time to me :)
01:25 pdurbin ooo, you guys were talkin' rest again
02:14 kotten pdurbin what are you doing if I may ask?
03:05 Bombe joined ##javaee

04:01 pdurbin kotten: just doing a little work in netbeans. time to restart it, I guess
04:02 kotten pdurbin I think it uses a limited amount that you can increase
04:02 kotten like 256 or 512 mb or something
04:02 pdurbin hmm. I'll have to try that. thanks
04:04 kotten np. Its just something i have vauge on the back off my head.
04:04 pdurbin cool
04:04 pdurbin kotten: probably too much information, but this is what I was sitting down to work on: https://trello.com/c/jmry3BJR/28-browse-dataverses
04:05 kotten pdurbin nice..
04:05 kotten a webpage? jsf, hibernate,primefaces and all that?
04:06 pdurbin primefaces
04:06 kotten It's a bit over my head, I am a network tech guy not really a programmer :)
04:06 kotten I just started using primefaces today
04:06 sfisque \o/
04:06 kotten It really brought me out of the 90's :D
04:07 kotten I was a huge fan of javaFX 2+ but it seems it died out?
04:08 sfisque different beast.  javaFX is for RIA, JSF is for webapps
04:08 sfisque like comparing JSP vs Swing
04:09 kotten yeah I guess. Me and a friend made a strategy game in javafx. Really liked it. Swing I never fell for
04:10 kotten sfisque Now I am on season 5 of TNG
04:10 sfisque :-D

17:09 CJ_ Interesting.  I'll have to take a look at that more later.
17:10 CJ_ Been debating adding in a style maven plugin to my projects.

18:16 Jhosepth Hello Guys  from Colombia
18:19 Jhosepth You could give me your opinion on which is considered a good library to work with  excel in java, I appreciate your opinion.
18:25 sess POI is fine if xls is good enough
18:25 sess dont remember if it has xlsx support, though I think it does
18:34 sajjadg POI from apache is good enough for anything so far. Jhosepth
18:35 sess also I dont think many here are from colombia
18:35 pdurbin now I want some coffee :)
18:36 sajjadg pdurbin: me too. bring me one please :P
18:37 sajjadg Jhosepth: how's Colombia? you are the first hacker from Colombia I've seen :-)
18:37 Jhosepth Thanks sess and sajjadg.  I Want basically to use an Excel book like l a data file for my application, and load the data using a third party library.
18:37 CJ_ I've used POI to read and write excel files.  Works well.
18:38 sess uhhh
18:38 sess you are using excel as a database?
18:38 sajjadg Jhosepth: why? can't you just use another form of DB? do you have a working excel file?
18:38 sajjadg do you know you can convert them!?
18:39 sajjadg don't you miss SQL in excel?! :P
18:42 pdurbin Jhosepth: so you don't necessarily need xlsx support? xls support is enough?
18:45 pdurbin "Using databases for the primary storage of your content is a known antipattern" -- http://indiewebcamp.com/databases-antipattern
18:45 Jhosepth The users of my program actually have your data in a Excel sheet,  they want to follow editing your data in Excel  and to need a program that make something with it data. I have  thought  to use VBA but  they(the users)  don't want that the code of the  program can be easily accesible.
18:47 CJ_ pdurbin, Interesting article.
18:52 whartung funny
18:52 sajjadg oh maaan, really jack? should I move to file!? :D come on... DBs are good boys... but files are handy sometimes. it's hard to handle strange data storages. it's not the best choice for most people
18:53 Jhosepth I think the same sajjadg.
18:54 whartung http://stackoverflow.com/questions/815626/to-do-or-not-to-do-store-images-in-a-database/815887#815887
18:54 sajjadg Jhosepth: you said your users are using excel to enter their data right? and you want to stay with .xls just for that?
18:55 Jhosepth True sajjadg.
18:57 sajjadg Jhosepth: go have fun with POI ;)
19:00 * semiosis looks into apache poi
19:01 Jhosepth Basically the worksheet contains  a list of  pilot , copilot  , technicians  and  gunners  and  they want from this list  generate   a list of crews  to fly helicopters. The program is used inside an in an anti-narcotics base.
19:03 whartung so you want to import and / or export XLS file?
19:06 sajjadg Jhosepth: I think you just want to read from the excel and generate a report with Japer Report. that would be OK
19:06 Jhosepth I  want   to import  the file  with the data and process it  and generate a  pdf with the crews to fly helicopters.
19:07 whartung you should be able to do that with Jasper
19:08 sajjadg Jhosepth: POI can read and write to excel. so the read part is ready. then you can use Japser to generate a PDF report. many other formats are available in Japser. I don't know other tools for creating pdf. maybe someone mentions an alternative
19:08 whartung Jasper can use custom data sources, so you may have to write one using poi to read your XLS file.
19:09 Jhosepth I have working with IText to generate PDfs.
19:09 whartung I'm sorry :)
19:10 sajjadg Jhosepth: yeah. that's OK. Jasper needs that for pdf too :-) so you got to the root ;)
19:10 whartung yea, Jasper should ideally be a bit easier to use
19:10 whartung and be careful of iText, since it's AGPL
19:10 whartung (the 5.x one is, 2.x isn't)
19:12 sajjadg what's wrong with AGPL?
19:12 whartung if you have a public  service, the public is entitled to the source of your app.
19:12 whartung I should say
19:12 whartung anyone who can access your app may ask for the source code to your app.
19:13 sajjadg wow. dangerous :P
19:13 sajjadg but who knows?
19:13 sajjadg :P
19:13 whartung yea. It's a good detail to know.
19:14 whartung yea, dunno. I don't know if iText embeds watermarks in their PDF files that make it clear to a read that it came from them or not.
19:16 sajjadg I don't think so
19:17 whartung but you don't know :)
19:17 whartung anyway, soothing to be keen about, is all
19:17 whartung *something
19:18 sajjadg yeah. thanks. i will check it more later
19:18 sajjadg good night.
19:18 whartung nn
19:20 Jhosepth Thanks for your opinions.
19:21 acuzio sajjadg seems to be one of the better aliases controlled by Quest
19:22 acuzio From what i know all of those guys are in the same company and so on -
19:22 acuzio whartung: hows you btw ?
19:22 whartung I'z good.
19:22 whartung hungry, but should be able to fix that soon...
19:23 whartung how u be?
19:30 Jhosepth Guys. Do you ever have created an installer for a Java program with a program without cost( that is free)?
19:34 sajjadg acuzio: I'm not from that company :-)
19:35 sajjadg Jhosepth: nsis
19:35 sajjadg Jhosepth: jinstaller
19:36 jmcveity joined ##javaee
19:38 jmcveity Hello.  Re-learning Java after 10 year hiatus.  Only took college courses - no professional experience. Looking for book suggestions.  I'm finding Head First to be annoying.
19:40 sajjadg jmcveity: I have "Thinking I Java" and that's one of the best. I also like "Core Java" but if you don't like to read books just go through Java Tutorial. you can download all of them in a gz file (big index)
19:41 sajjadg the Tutorial is update and faster to read/learn
19:41 sajjadg there's also a Java EE tutorial if you like to go that way (you should ;) )
19:42 sess random tutorials are fine for the basics jmcveity
19:42 sess after that, Design Patterns, and Effective Java is very recommended
19:42 sess both assume you know all basic syntax and concepts
19:43 jmcveity sajjadg: Thanks.  I don't  mind the reading.  I'm looking to refresh and some books assume no programming experience eg. Head First.
19:45 jmcveity sajjadg: You would suggest to follow the official tutorials then?  I will check out those books you mentioned.
19:45 jmcveity sess: Thank you.
19:47 whartung come up with an app and write it. The tutorials do't mean much if you can't apply it
19:49 jmcveity Thanks for the help!  Very much appreciated!
19:53 semiosis Jhosepth: i use the javafx native installer feature to make installers for a desktop app i'm building
19:57 Jhosepth Thanks for your help semiosis  . I will to test it.
20:01 neuro_sys joined ##javaee
20:01 neuro_sys joined ##javaee
20:04 semiosis using the maven javafx plugin, of course.  'mvn jfx:native' builds the whole installer for my app
20:04 semiosis it's great
20:04 semiosis javaeebot: lucky maven javafx plugin
20:04 javaeebot semiosis: http://zenjava.com/javafx/maven/
20:04 semiosis yep
20:13 Jhosepth semiosis , um, and what IDE are you using?
20:13 semiosis these days i'm all about intellij idea
20:13 semiosis but the maven thing works on the command line
20:13 kotten_ joined ##javaee
20:14 semiosis all my workstations/laptops are kubuntu, but when i need to make a build of the app for mac or windows, that has to be done on a mac or windows machine, and i just do git pull & mvn jfx:native on the command line on those systems
20:36 sajjadg semiosis: you use JavaFX? how's that? do you use it for Desktop apps or web or mobile?
20:36 semiosis <3 it
20:36 semiosis currently only using it for desktop
20:36 sajjadg semiosis: I like git command line. it's very cool
20:36 semiosis afaik the mobile stuff is still very new
20:36 semiosis mobile javafx stuff
20:37 sajjadg yeah. it's not official
20:37 sajjadg it's going to replace swing in JDK9
20:37 sajjadg and I hope it removes all awt, swing, applet packages
20:37 semiosis \o/
20:38 sajjadg those are messy
20:39 Jhosepth semiosis , and do you use the commercial version? or the community version?
20:40 sajjadg intellij idea is free for java se but I don't like to get addicted to it and then suffer when I'm doing java ee coding :-/
20:40 semiosis i'm using idea ultimate
20:40 semiosis and loving it
20:40 sajjadg idea is so lovable.
20:41 sajjadg but I don't want to crack it. /good boy sign/  and can't afford to buy it
20:42 sajjadg netbeans really improved in these years. I like it. just very heavy. should have at least 4G memory
20:44 Jhosepth I like use Netbeans in Ubuntu using xfce.
20:44 whartung I have a love/hate with Netbeans
20:44 semiosis i bought idea when they had a 75% off sale, now i'm renewing yearly at regular price & it's totally worth it
20:44 whartung but I think it's the best one for me.
20:45 semiosis i might apply for an open source developer license before my next renewal
20:45 whartung mostly it just slows down or goes stupid onme. very frustrating
20:45 whartung and I think it's maven integration is imperfect
20:45 whartung had several maven projects with libs it can't find (and thus 1/2 my lines go red i nteh IDE)
20:53 sajjadg whartung: me too. I hate to love it :P
20:54 sajjadg whartung: I don't have performance problem. and its maven plugin is way better than of eclipse
20:55 whartung our maven maven is an eclipse jockey, so, that's curious
20:56 sajjadg eclipse maven plugin (egit) is not cool. I had a problem and filed a bug. but they said it's not related! the problem was that when I was using maven clean and then runnig the project on server maven couldn't detect that it should build it first!
20:58 sajjadg eclipse 4.x is very bad. eclipse was good in 3.x version
20:59 conor_ireland joined ##javaee
21:15 sajjadg it's lost its cool after 3
21:36 sajjadg who wants ice cream?
21:39 whartung https://i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/7117397248/hB231940E/
21:44 sajjadg whartung: cool

22:37 Jhosepth Hello this is a list of java books that I have in pdf http://pastebin.com/j2nU85Fn, if someone wants a book can send me a email to jose.luis.pulido88@hotmail.com with the name of the book. Someone have books about apache POI that can share with  me , I will to be gratefull , thanks.
