Seeing two instances of my app in eclipse servers pane? - eclipse

I just upgraded to IBM Mobile First (worklight) 7.1.0.00.20150913-2345.
I've noticed that my app now shows twice in Eclipse servers pane. Other services shows twice too. Is this normal or something in my configuration is causing it?

This is a recent regression that was introduced in MobileFirst Platform Foundation 7.1. It is harmless, but will be taken care of regardless...
If you so choose you can open a PMR (support ticket), but it is scheduled to be fixed regardless.

Brand-New MAUI .NET 7 Project Fails to Display the Welcome Page in VS 17.4.3

I understand .NET 7 is new, but I think a workflow that should work out-of-the-box is to create a new MAUI template project (".NET MAUI App"), choose a name for that, and successfully build the just-created project. On my system, this consistently fails with this warning:
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Warning XA1004 File 'obj\Debug\net7.0-android\lp\101\jl\res\..\res.zip' already exists. Ch0501 C:\Program Files\dotnet\packs\Microsoft.Android.Sdk.Windows\33.0.4\tools\Xamarin.Android.EmbeddedResource.targets 36
While I do not like this warning on a brand-new project, there is another issue: I nothing happens when I launch the project by clicking Windows Machine:
For .NET 6, this would launch a "welcome" form, welcoming you to MAUI. Now, the program runs but then ends without presenting any UI.
How are users expected to get started with MAUI with issues like this? I will single-step and debug to try to see what's going on, but shouldn't this just work??
Does anyone familiar with .NET 7 MAUI know why I am encountering these issues? What do I need to do to run the app so that it displays the MainPage "welcome" form on Windows?
I decided that I don't have time for MAUI's broken-ness. I visited several devoted MAUI forums, and many users have complained about functionality that's broken out-of-the-box using the latest of all available IDEs, frameworks, and tooling. MAUI's bug list is ever-growing and outpaces the rate at which bugs are fixed (often needing further fixes due to lack of QA testing). The fact that my basic question about MAUI received a few dozen reads (as of this writing) and no useful reply suggests that broad understand of MAUI fundamentals does not yet exist in the developer community. I don't have time or interest in being an extension of MAUI's QA team and to work with tools whose "hello world" out-of-the-box sample cannot run on a new installation. It's just ridiculous.
I installed Uno 4 instead, and their "hello world" app ran without a hitch (using .NET 7) on Windows and on my tethered Android device. So I plan to use Uno for my multi-platform C#/.NET 7 project. Maybe in the distant future, MAUI will be ready to be reconsidered--for now, it's a pet project that desperately needs some professional attention.

Why is my Google Cloud Platform for Eclipse resulting in Error Not Found?

I upgraded Eclipse and moved to Google Cloud Platform for Eclipse for my existing Standard App Engine project. I also moved to Java 8.
Now, when I deploy my app, the size shown in the console is only 7.1mb vs. 220mb prior to the upgrade. And when I try to go to the app after deployment I get an Error: Not Found message.
Is there something in the setup for my new configuration that would be causing this?
Your question is indeed somewhat broad; you'll need to provide all necessary detail. A correspondingly general information page might help here, though, namely Eclipse "How-to Guides".
Have you adapted and re-written your app for Java 8? If so, in which way? Have you edited your app.yaml configuration file accordingly?
Cloud Tools for Eclipse writes out the app-to-be-deployed to a directory in your workspace called <workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/com.google.cloud.tools.eclipse.appengine.deploy/tmp/<timestamp>/staging-work/exploded-war, where <timestamp> is the time of the last two deploys. Look at the exploded-war directory and see what files are missing. You may then get a better sense of what needs to be remediated.

Distributing Windows Application through internet

We have window application developed in .Net and want perfect deployment technology
which enables easy application installation and upgrading.
The client can be accessed from anywhere in the world where an Internet connection is available.
In future we want the same deployment technology for provide support user's who use Window 7 and
Window 8
Looking at the the initial requirement we have decided to use Click Once technology
but found many issues in the deployment. They are below
You will need to sign a Click Once application with trusted certificate
otherwise it is blocked and instantly removed by Antivirus program.
ClickOnce may not be supported by all browsers , the behavior are different in IE and
other browser
ClickOnce to doesn't install components into the GAC , doesn't installed in the program
files rather it install and maintain user wise in the client machine.
ClickOnce has issue with proxy network and unable to customize the setup screen.
Community has faced many issues with ClickOnce Setup and does not have enough solution or
updates on Click Once technology solution
Do we have perfect deployment solution for window app over internet other than ClickOnce? Which methodology is widely used for window app deployment over internet?
Which deployment technology provide better success rate for easily maintenance and version update for the Window app over internet ?
You could build it as a standard executable and create an installer. A good way to make an installer is InnoSetup. However, the user has to have .Net Framework already installed.
As of Windows Vista, version 2.0 is included, Windows 7 includes 3.5, and Windows 8 includes 4.5. If you change the target .Net Framework of your application you can target these systems. Go to Properties > Target Framework > Choose 2.0, 3.5, or 4.5 (client profile if available).
As for updates, you should implement this in your application on your own or get another third-party updater. I don't know any good ones though.

PyDev Breakpoints in App Engine 1.7.6 broken?

I just upgraded to the App Engine 1.7.6 SDK for my python app and realised that breakpoints no longer work in PyDev (Eclipse plugin) when using the new dev_appserver.py.
Does anyone know of a way of enabling them again? I assume the new server is spawning a new process for the web server, and the debugger isn't attaching to that one. I'm not sure how to configure it to do that though.
In the meantime I am using the old_dev_appserver.py server.
UPDATE 2012-07-27:
Following the comment, I verified, the issue is solved after updating to
PyDev. 2.8 and App Engine 1.8.2
OBSOLETE:
I found the following analysis of the problem at googleappengine issues tracker
The reason why PDB doesn't work is because dev_appserver is using
stdin/stdout for interprocess communication. Python has built-in
libraries for IPC: http://docs.python.org/2/library/ipc.html.
dev_appserver should use these, and then stdin/stdout can be left
alone so that PDB still works.
So it seems that there is no workaround, rather than reverting to use old_dev_appserver.py
UPDATE 2013-04-23:
Inability to debug is annoying.
Many developers complain about it

Yep, ran into the same problem.
Open your Run/Debug Configuration and set the Main Module to:
${GOOGLE_APP_ENGINE}/old_dev_appserver.py
Do you mean pdb.set_trace() isn't working?
Look for the function MonkeyPatchPdb() in google/appengine/tools/dev_appserver.py
Run that somewehere in your own project before you use pdb and it should fix it.

Gwt hosted mode stopped working from Eclipse on adding a special dependency via maven

On integrating a library on server side of my gwt app (maven, gwt 2.4) the development/hosted mode stopped working. The app works fine if deployed or run with "gwt:run" and all unit tests and integration tests pass as before.
If i start development mode (run/debug as web application) from Eclipse the develpoment mode view pops up but nothing else happens. normally the console should show some output but console keeps empty. So i don't even have a hint whats going wrong.
Can someone give some advice where to look / what to do to get at least a hint what's wrong?
if i check out the revision before integrating the library the development mode works! - at the moment i add the dependency (only adding not using it) it stops working.
Background about library i added (don't know if my problem relates to this):I had some problem on integrating the library. the library uses eclipse birt charting engine. This engine has a dependency to Apache derby db, this conflicted with another library. i solved this by excluding the derby dependency via maven. the second problem was a "command line too long" error on unit test - this was solved by updating the maven-surefire-plugin.
The Problem was hard but the solution is simple: With Java 7 it is working!
The problem could be reproduced on 2 of 3 machines. The machine without the problem is the only one that uses java 7. So i installed java 7 on my machine and linked eclipse to it - now hosted mode (from eclipse) works again :-).
