Where the itextpdf.jar library is? - itext

I have downloaded itext from here (https://github.com/itext/itextpdf) but I can't find any .jar file inside .zip. It says about Maven but I don't know much about Maven! I need to have the binary ready for use.
Thanks

You can find itext on Maven Central Repository.
At the moment, this is the latest version: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.itextpdf/itextpdf/5.5.13
From that page, just click the jar button and you will have your binary.
Or you can access it directly from this link.
UPATE:
5.x seems not to be the latest version, but 7.x (thanks #BrunoLowagie)
You can find the itext7 jars available here:
https://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Ccom.itextpdf
Also, you can take a look on their official development documentation available here on how to install it.
You have 2 options:
if you need a separate jar and download it, you will have to go through each jar and download it.
if you see yourself downloading manually to much, maybe it would be more advisable to make use of Maven and take itext7-core and that will download each of the jars from here

Here is the JAR download path. Click on below link to download JAR.
http://central.maven.org/maven2/com/itextpdf/itextpdf/5.5.13/itextpdf-5.5.13.jar

The other answers to this question explain how to download iText 5. However, iText 5.5.13 is a maintenance release of the old iText 5 version. The most recent version is iText 7.1.2. See also the official download page on the official web site: https://developers.itextpdf.com/itext7/download-and-install-information/Java
All development on iText 5 has stopped in favor of development on iText 7. New releases of iText 5 are made as a service for customers who aren't ready to migrate to iText 7 yet. New iText users should start with iText 7, NOT with iText 5!

upgrade gwt 1.7 to gwt 2.5

Our project uses gwt 1.7 and jdk 1.5.0_13.
We need to add support for IE9 and above.
For that, we need to upgrade gwt to latest version (2.5) and, therefore, upgrade jdk as well.
While doing so, we are getting errors related to missing source codes in gwt jars (e.g. TimeOutException source code not found).
We have simply replaced the gwt 1.7 jars with latest ones. What else do we need to change?
Is there any guide explaining the migration procedure for gwt?
AFAIK there isn't any detailed guide explaining the migration. In the documentation project you have only a brief list of features and breaking changes for each version, it is very useful though.
You have many posts with the experience of users migrating from 1.7 to 2.0, but almost very old since 2.0 was released some years ago. There is very little info for migrations from 1.7 to the the last 2.5.
Said that, the main problem you will deal with is the change in the tools for dev and debug, so I recommend first to get used with these tools. Then you have to fix each single 'red' mark in your IDE project. Then you should look for 'yellow' marks in order to avoid using deprecated classes/methods. Finally you could consider replacing some code of your project with new features in 2.x like cell-widgets, layout-panels, etc, see the showcase.
The process will be tedious, but it is worth to have your project using last releases if you plan to maintain the application in the future.
BTW, there are plans to remove support for IE6, IE8 and even IE9 in future versions of GWT, in order to improve and modernize gwt and to support new html5 features. It will be gradual though: Solutions for people needing IE7/IE8 support in future GWT releases
I updated from 2.2 -2.5 yesterday and had 2 errors I had to overcome.
Jar file was for 2.2- I deleted it, switched to non GWT toolkit, and switched back. This updated(created) to correct jar.
source code problem- for some reason the run config was not transferred correctly. Since i had used a new workspace when updating i copied over the old path to the new workspace. (this was located under: Debug config--> Arguments--> Program arguments
Hope this helps :)

Eclipse (SDK/Workbench) documentation in PDF?

Where can I get the documentation for the Eclipse "Workbench" in PDF form?
(The Eclipse FAQ says that the documentation for the Eclipse "SDK" (I assume this is the same as the Eclipse "Workbench") is available in PDF format from eclipse.org, but I can't find it anywhere.)
You can download here:
http://www.eclipse.org/documentation/
in particular, workbench user guide:
http://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.1-200506271435/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user.3.1.pdf.zip
which version of eclipse do u want documentation for , the 3.1 releases seem to be in pdf's here

How to install Axis2 plug-in to Eclipse (for Android dev)?

I got my Eclipse (Indigo Service Release 1, Build id: 20110916-0149) installed and running for Android development. Now, I want to consume a WCF WebService (wsdl) in my Android app. As I learnt, this can easily be done using Axis2 plug-in for Eclipse. However, I had hard-time to install the Axis2 plug-in.
I understand there are similar questions already asked, but I couldn't make it work using all the suggestions, and there is no accepted answer either. That's why I created this new questions. It would be nice if somebody can tell which version is working one? or how to make the latest (1.6.1) work?
I do not understand the plug-in installation processs in Eclipse. I see p2 folder in my local drive under Eclipse, so I assume I could just extract the download to dropins folder, right?
#Andreas Veithen
Thanks for your answer buddy. The 1.6.1 version was driving me nuts. I tested it both in a Mac and a Windows machine and the result was the same. It just would not work. I took your advice and got the 1.6.2-SNAPSHOT version and it shows up just fine now.
#miliu
No matter which version you are looking for, you need to get the Axis2 eclipse codegen plugin.
Here is the link to the page where you can find the 1.6.2-SNAPSHOT version:
https://builds.apache.org/job/axis2-1.6/lastStableBuild/org.apache.axis2$axis2.eclipse.codegen.plugin/
Download the axis2.eclipse.codegen.plugin-1.6.2-SNAPSHOT.jar at https://builds.apache.org/job/axis2-1.6/lastStableBuild/org.apache.axis2$axis2.eclipse.codegen.plugin/artifact/org.apache.axis2/axis2.eclipse.codegen.plugin/1.6.2-SNAPSHOT/axis2.eclipse.codegen.plugin-1.6.2-SNAPSHOT.jar and drop it in your dropins folder. The latest version of Eclipse should already have a dropins folder after you extract the downloaded archive. You should now see the Axis wizards in Eclipse after restarting.
The above answers were not easily understood so I'm adding this for anyone reading this in the future.
Taken from the Axis2 website:
Download the ZIP file for the plugin you want to install.
Extract the content of the plugins folder in the ZIP archive into the dropins folder (i.e. do not create a plugins folder under dropins).
Ps: Get the 1.6.2 version from this link
The 1.6.1 version has a bug and doesn't work. Use 1.6.0 or 1.6.2-SNAPSHOT (which can be downloaded from here) instead.
All recent versions of Eclipse use p2. You need to put the JAR files into the dropins folder.

what is the correct version of Eclipse for Coldfusion?

Usually when one wants to create a new file in the Eclipse IDE , Java, Javascript, Colsdfusion PHP etc are provided as the options for the new files.
I recently downloaded Eclipse for Coldfusion 8 and excecuted the file "software/dw/java/europa/J2EE-SDK-Europa-33-win32.zip" .
Now when I want to create a New File "only JAVA " option is available. There is no coldfusion or HTML!
So can any one provide me the Exact/correct link for Codfusion related Eclipse?
(On the Eclipse website there are many Eclipse related downloads but I am not sure which one is specific for Coldfusion.)
There's CFEclipse, a free, open-source Eclipse plug-in for working with CFML. And of course there's Adobe's ColdFusion Builder, a commercial product that works as either a plug-in for an existing Eclipse installation, or as a full stand-alone product (with Eclipse already baked in).
CFEclipse 1.3.6, the current stable version, works with Eclipse 3.4.x or 3.5.x. Here's the CFEclipse wiki.
The stated Eclipse versions required for ColdFusion Builder are 3.4.2 or 3.5. Here's Adobe's requirements page.
If you're using one of these as a plug-in and you don't need a lot of the other Eclipse features, the J2EE version of Eclipse is probably overkill (it's the biggest package). You can try out a more minimal Eclipse install, then update and add plug-ins as you need them. Try the Eclipse Platform Binary, for example.
There's also Adobe's ColdFusion Builder IDE specially created for this purpose. It proposes some features not available in CFEclipse, but not free (though there's a trial version available).
In addition to Ken's answer please note that you can already use preview builds of CFEclipse with latest Eclipse 3.6 Helios. I am using this configuration on daily basis and it is pretty stable and more efficient than previous version for me.
If you will expierience problems with preview builds, feel free to post them into the CFEclipse groups, developers usually react pretty quickly.
One more hint for you. Sometimes after installing the plugin via Add Sofware further updates do not work correcly. I've experienced this issue few times so it can be useful to know the solution.
To fix this check the Preferences > Install/Update > Available Software Sites. If needed entry missing -- create it manually using the same update URL as for installation.
Also there's an Eclipse-based version of Adobe CF manual available, see this help page for details.
Hope this helps.
