Inner Peace
I received the following in an e-mail from a friend in Vienna this morning and thought that the world should be told:
Inner Peace
I am passing this on to you because it definitely works, and we could
well use a little more calmness in our lives. By following
simple advice heard on the Dr. Phil show, you too can find inner peace. Dr
Phil proclaimed, "The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things
you have started and have never finished."
So, I looked around my house to see all the things I started and hadn't
finished, and before leaving the house this morning, I finished off a
bottle of Merlot, a bottle of White Zinfandel, a bottle of
Bailey's Irish Cream, a bottle of Kaluha, a package of Oreos, the remainder of
my old Prozac prescription, the rest of the cheesecake, some
Doritos, and a box of chocolates. You have no idea how freaking good I feel
right now.
Please pass this on to those whom you think might be in need of inner peace.

JasperReports Visual Designer for NetBeans IDE 5.5
Today Toni Epple released a first buildable version of Jarvis, the Jasper Visual Designer for NetBeans. I tried it last week or so, but many libraries were missing. Today, though, everything's there. Completely out of the box. Through CVS, you can get everything you need from https://jarvis.dev.java.net/. Literally, all I did was check out the sources from his CVS and then I installed the module and I was done. No separate download of Jasper, no separate download of anything else. However, note that Toni writes in his blog: "The version supplied here is neither stable, feature complete, nor extensively tested, and I guarantee that API and GUI will change a lot before the first official release. But I guess you can get an idea of how the Designer is meant to work."
Give it a try anyway, here's what you'll see after creating an "Empty JasperReport file" (in the "Other" category). Loads of cool stuff in the palette and a very neat looking design view (notice also the Preview and XML view, as well as the extensions to the toolbar):
Three cheers for Toni! This thing is looking really professional already.
