Okay, there are two Maven plugins for Eclipse: m2eclipse and Q for Eclipse.

I use m2eclipse and I am a big Maven fan.  Unfortunately, I don't want resources to show up from my target directory when I use the open resource shortcut. So how do we get around this?

From what I understand there are three ways to do this.
1. Edit a xml file in the UI jar
2. Use a plugin available from the Eclipse plugin site.
3. Add the "derived" property to the target folder.

Probably the single most important thing these days seems to be submitting a sitemap.xml to Search Engines.  Most major search engines now provide tools for you to submit your sitemap and also see various page rankings.  It looks like Micrsoft finally joined the bandwaggon and came out will webmaster tools now as well.

Ever wondered why "Convert to a Dynamic Web project..." is under the Project Menu in Eclipse?

It is there for one reason and one reason only:

Yes, my friends it is their to tease and mock you.  How do I know this? Wel, it's simple actually.  Notice the trailing "..."?   You most likely are a software developer if you are reading this. Would you really put a "..." after something if it was supposed to work all the time?

So some time ago, I put up this site and thought I would use some proprietary SEO software I wrote to get me top ranked in the search engines.  I wrote a small suite of tools based on what I learned from reading SEOBook combined with some sneaky stuff I figured out on my own that would either get me blacklisted or be crowned the Search Engine king.  One week later, I became so engulfed in work that I haven't wrote a blog, or dusted the cobwebs off my SEO software that I never got around to using, since.

In order to use interceptors with Annotation-based controllers, you need to configure the DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping used by the Spring container.

I have written my own mod-rewrite for Apache Tomcat which allows you to use clean urls to access your web application.

I am selling Single Site Commercial Licences for $1500 and Multi-Site Licenses for $2500.

Apache Tomcat runs better when requests are not proxied through mod_jk. My Tomcat mod-rewrite allows you to use Tomcat to serve your web application without Apache web server and still be able to take advantage of URL rewriting.

Okay, so today is November 6th, 2007.  As of today, I am happy to say that out of 6,450,000 results, my site doesn't even come up when you type "Scott Murphy" in Google.  What is even more pathetic is that typing "ScottMurphy.info" in Google will yield 2 results--none of which are mine.
