I was wondering if you could help – we have previously used a version of Postsharp 2.1.5.1 basic features for the last number of years on a historical application.
All of a sudden, it has started asking for a license key and we cannot find one – it was originally set up by a developer who has long since moved on.
We are trying to use the basic features and don’t require a full license – is this possible?
The version runs on VS 2010 and every time I select an option via the pop up I receive a “Postsharp is configured” message, but when I build the solution, I receive build errors related to Postsharp. Also, the same windows pops up again, and I am taken back to the start of the process i.e. Trial, register or purchase a licence.
Am I missing something in the setup? How do you configure the Express version or download a licence, every time I choose the Express download from the web site I get the full version.
Hope this makes sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards

You should upgrade to the latest build of PostSharp 2.1. It will give you the ability to register PostSharp Express without getting a license on our website.

I am running zencart and use an add on module for sagepay form. I have just upgraded this to the latest version which should comply to v3 but when I log into mysagepay it still says I need to upgrade to V3. Is there somewhere else I should be going to make the changes? I have a copy of the technical guide for migrating from v2.23 to v3 which tells me the changes I need to make but I don't know where I need to go to make these changes. I am sure this is really simple but I am struggling. Any help would be much appreciated.
I'd recommend that you have a transaction ID (that you believe to be at 3.00) to hand and give Sage Pay a call - they can check the protocol value for you, so you can be sure you have upgraded successfully (MSP isn't always 100% reliable in the messages once you have upgraded!)
I can not find any link related with 2.1.5 from SourceForge. I wonder whether I can still use this version as a third party component in my product.
Any comment would be appreciated very much!
Sure you can. Search the web and you will find that version easily (e.g. here or here) It is a different question however whether you should still use that version. It is quite old and lots of bugs have been fixed and new functionality has been added. So do the following:
check the license restrictions (LGPL vs. AGPL)
if you don't have a problem with a GPL based license then use the latest 5.X version
if you can't use APGL buy a commercial license or use at least version 2.1.7
if you go the 2.1.7 route do some testing - in many cases it will do its job still fine. If not you'll probably have to fix it by yourself
Update: I would now use openPDF which is a maintained fork based on 2.1.7.
I need to do some UML diagrams, and doing the work right in Eclipse by reverse engineering classes is the best/fastest approach for me. Taking advise found elsewhere on Stack Overflow, I'm playing with eUML2.
The problem I have is this... I installed the Studio demo, and it worked well for us. However, for now, I just need to do the class diagrams which are available in the free edition. So I uninstalled the studio demo, and installed the free. However, it still thinks I have the studio demo installed as the background of my diagrams has it in 24pt font, and in the top right of the page it says "* Evaluation *".
Reading around, I assume this issue is around the problem with the license file contained in the install of the free version... or the fact that it is missing from the free version.
Anyone here figured out the license file issue with eUML2? Where can I find a free license, or an install with the free license in it? Where is the license stored in my install? can I just kill it?
I could ask this question on the Soyatec forum, however this question has been asked a number of times, with no answers provided. Either they do not monitor their forums, or one must pay the 100€ price for support to get an answer.
The studio license is installing a file in your folder user/.eclipse/configuration/... If you erase this file then the tool will consider it is a new install of the software.
Having said that I would not recommend to use eUML because it is full of bugs and adding UML tags in your code. A real mess mixing code and model !!
For your information it seems to me that it is intentional not to answer to any question and stop the Soyatec company.
Don't forget that Soyatec is more or less a kind of Omondo spin off. 4 shareholders having created the omondo company left it with the code of EclipseUML 2005. I know that the tool is now totally different because being revamped by a new team but the architecture is still more or less the same.
Omondo Corp is currently being under acquisition by a large US software company and once the sell will completed it could be possible that they claim redundancy package, or company shares etc... to the main shareholder who sacked them few years ago. They have a split contract but it seems that it is not valid.
Just money, always money. This world is disguising :-)
is there a way to create a task/activity report (say a weekly report) off tasks managed with Mylyn? I've been using Rachota TimeTracker which allows me to create reports (in html format)
http://rachota.sourceforge.net/en/demo.html
I've just started using mylyn (our company uses Embarcadero JBuilder which is is based on Eclipse), but I don't see anywhere in the Eclipse or Embarcadero docs about reporting capabilities.
Is it possible? Is it possible to query activities worked on a prior week and report statistics out of it (management like reports, you know;) I'm sure it is, but I haven't been able to google it out.
Thanks.
You're in luck, Tasktop Pro (the supported version of Mylyn) has reporting. It allows you to:
View all task activity times for the previous day, week, and month
Manually adjust times as necessary to account for meetings and discussions
Submit your adjusted times, on tasks you select, to your task repository
Create reports in various formats
I'd recommend this short video which explains the reporting features in about 6 minutes.

As you already know by now, the reporting functionality is included into commercial Tasktop product, which is developed by the same people who created Mylyn. So, obviously they are not interested to include some features into a free version. Now you have two options, either buy Tasktop, or develop your own extension for Mylyn. The task data is stored in reasonable simple xml file, so you not necessarily have to create an Eclipse plugin.
the reporting feature was stripped from the project when it used to be called mylar, in 2007, and since the project went commercial never came back to the open source mylyn for obvious reasons..
I found this simple perl script which outputs a pretty basic text only report, good enough for me.

No takers? Not surprised since I can't find anything on the subject. For what's worth, there is an experimental task/activity report available for Mylyn with the sandbox jar. However, I could not get mine to work as I'm tied up with a JBuilder installation behind a firewall (and I can't download anything on the corp network that is not pre-evaluated... it sucks, I know.)
I'm going to have to experiment with the mylyn sandox at home, but it would be great if someone knows of an easier, more stable alternative.
The home page for gchart, a client side charting add-in for Google Web Toolkit (GWT), has a long screed about how the project's only maintainer thinks his Google account has been hacked and because of that he will be "disavowing/abandoning my own project and Google account". Does that mean the project is an orphan? Is somebody taking it over?
There is always a risk on basing your project on somebody else's code because they may stop supporting it or abandon it during your project's life time, but it seems to me that with the fast evolution of Java and GWT, using gchart in a new project may be a big mistake. Am I right?
I've released Client-side GChart 2.7 in a brand-new Google Code project (untainted by the previous rootkitting of my laptop) that you can find here:
http://clientsidegchart.googlecode.com
For details on the new security-related improvements I've instituted in an effort to prevent a future breach, follow the "release notes" link on the home page to the GChart 2.7 release notes.
I wish it had not taken me so long to re-release. I was attempting to correct the part of the problem that was under my direct control: my deep ignorance of all things related to computer security and systems administration.
I encourage you to give the re-released, better-secured and administered, Client-side GChart 2.7 a second look.
John C. Gunther, Client-side GChart author
I would have to say so. If the only maintainer of the project has lost control of his account, using any subsequent versions of gchart could mean you're implementing malicious code un-knowingly.
Unless he spins up another project to move the code-base forward, I'd avoid it.
