Thanks for another release of my favorite linux app.
Out of curiosity (and please excuse my ignorance about Macs) are you going to make version of XScreenSaver that works natively with the Macintosh screensaver subsystem (if there is one) or is that unfeasible?
grumpy_sysadmin says:
Given that xscreensaver is really an alternate screensaver subsystem... Itym "are you going to port the xscreensaver hacks."
dojothemouse says:
Alternatively, we could modify an X windows server to run as a macintosh screensaver.
Hehe. That would be one hilarious waste of time.
So, you're either a moron or completely unfunny. Which is it?

You realize that it runs on MacOS right now, using the available X subsystem?
Yeah. But that's not what <lj user="johnxp"> and <lj user="grumpy_sysadmin"> were talking about. There are apparently downsides to running xscreensaver that way.
It would probably take way way more effort, and I'm not trying to say it would be a good idea, but it could be done and it would obviate porting the xscreensaver hacks. It would work, right?

As others have pointed out, that really means "port the hacks to the native saver framework." Yeah, I'd like to do that, but I haven't gotten around to it.
It should be relatively easy to port the OpenGL hacks (probably just a few ifdefs), but the X11 hacks will take some more doing. For the X11 hacks, I'm thinking the way to go is to basically write a tiny version of Xlib that implements only the pieces that xscreensaver happens to need, and shims between the X API and Cocoa. (The goal being to keep the same pile of source code building on both systems, rather than forking it all.)
Another thing that would be nice to have is some code that reads the XML files that are used to describe the per-hack xscreensaver-demo GUI configuration stuff, and emits Cocoa controls, so that the Mac versions would have sliders and stuff.
Mostly I haven't started playing with this (or with porting XDaliClock) because I'm still avoiding getting over the learning curve of XCode. I'm just really, really not looking forward to learning how to use that behemoth. If someone were to send me some proof-of-concept on the Mac side of this stuff, it might give me a kick in the pants...

Something like..
< http://www.javasaver.com/testjs/jws/03/ant.jnlp> ? **
(That should default to the Mac 'Aqua' PLAF, though I do not know how close that comes to the Cocoa 'Look and Feel').
Alternately, a quick perusal of the NIB files suggests to me (I don't run OSX) they (can) use XML to describe the widgets. So it might be possible to devise an XSLT that transforms the savername.xml to an appropriate NIB format description.
..and yeah, got the message re 'next release' for the DTD/XSD*. Cool.
For those that are .."DTD-minded", and just *cannot* wait for the files, I have put them here..
XSD < http://www.javasaver.com/xss.xsd>
DTD < http://www.javasaver.com/xss.dtd>
* Clarification for those who were not 'in' on that series of emails..
There were two validation files intended for this release that did not quite make the build, but were mentioned in the updated hacks/config/README.
** And, yes I do have a hide, presenting a java (sucks) component for consideration for the rendering of the XSS config. files on the Macintosh. (shrugs) I'm like that.
Note that the dialog that (hopefully) appears on-screen is a development version, with a few 'quirks' to it.
In case it's not obvious, any solution to this problem that introduces a dependency on Java is profoundly uninteresting to me. In fact, my indifference to that could only be described as "sexual" in intensity.
What about the XSLT to transform the savername.xml to the XML descriptions used by the NIB files?
As far as I understand.
- It is possible.
- Would assist in generating a Cocoa GUI.
- Would not require Java.

I can't help you with the coding, but I am more than happy to sacrifice my system to the testing effort.
gen_witt says:
I hacked this together this evening for qix. The code is a mess and shines bad light on me, but it is only a proof of concept (with lots of "errors"). I modified qix slightly to make life easier, I removed the alpha support (and assosiated util code), and the XRDB nonsense (hard wiring all configurable parameters to their default). Seeing as you abstracted out all of your XRDB calls that will make life easier.
Unfortunately, the Mac OS X screensaver messaging model is different than the Xscreensaver one. Under Mac OS X, the framework calls a function every time you are to paint, and under Xscreensaver the hack calls to the framework whenever it feels like ("once a frame"). In order to make a hack work like OS X expects it to, I used threads (really all I wanted/needed was a "context switch" a sort of longjmp that recreated the entire stack). Alternate means of adapting are more than welcome.
I used Xcode 1.5 and Mac OS X 1.3 on a Mac mini if there are incompatibilites. You can find my proof of concept at http://www.firebomb-w3c.org/lj/qix.tar.gz . Load the .xcode project file, build, and then double click on the .saver to install it. I am interested in building/maintaining a more complete shim, and am willing to adapt coding styles and take direction (I could build the shim on my own, but there is no reason for two people to be doing the same thing).
taffer says:
I did a couple (OK, three easy ones) as "native" OS X savers, but I didn't make any attempt to do it in a sane manner... they're basically rewrites with native UIs and the original algorithms.
If I had more time, I'd attack it from the other end (fake XLib; there's XML parsing in Cocoa already and you can build a UI programmatically). But, you know, lazy, busy, etc.

Sufis in Afghanistan

Jihadism in Dagestan
A growing problem in the fight against terrorism
Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen and Somalia are known to be hotbeds of Islamist activity. For some time now, many young, radicalised Muslims have been leaving their homes in Europe and northern Africa to join the ranks of radical Islamist groups such as IS. However, little attention has thus far been paid to the number of jihadis coming out of the Russian Republic of Dagestan. By Kiran Nazish in AfghanistanMore

"Islamic State" versus "Taliban Emirate"
One caliph too many
The IS terrorists' self-proclaimed caliphate does not recognise borders. For some time now, the black flags of "Islamic State" have also been sighted in Afghanistan. This is a direct challenge to their rivals from the "Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan", better known as the Taliban. By Emran FerozMore

The emergence of Islamic State in Pakistan
"They don't negotiate, they don't make partners"
Islamic State (IS) has shocked the world with its bulldozer-like advance over Sunni-dominated areas of Iraq and Syria. Ever since it declared a caliphate, there have been fears that the group may supersede al-Qaida as the vanguard of global jihadist movements. According to Kiran Nazish in Pakistan, IS has been trying to recruit from the jihadist stream in South AsiaMore

Afghan idioms and proverbs
"The arrival of the king leads to the downfall of the village"
Afghanistan is a multi-ethnic nation with language rich in idioms and proverbs. These are an integral element of the country's culture, although less familiar to young Afghans these days.

An unknown homeland
Simin Tander has undertaken a musical journey to her roots and to herself.

The destination is an exceptional album that transcends the boundaries between jazz, singer-songwriting and world music.

Releasing the single 30 minutes before the premiere of Saturday Night Live, where her ex-fiance, Pete Davidson, displays his dark and awkward comedic talents, Grande clearly understands the definition of being shady. Though the outside public can mistake this sudden urgency of Grande as cunning, after listening to the song can they begin to realize the empowering message that boasts through.
Approximately four months ago, Grande and Davidson made the decision to go steady, warranting skepticism, along with an intense amount of publicity, surrounding their relationship. Seeing each other for only a few weeks, the couple believed their infatuation for one another to be strong, yet only to end their engagement over circumstantial reasons.
In the midst of the couple's engagement, Grande's ex-boyfriend and thought-provoking rapper, Mac Miller, "accidentally overdosed on fentanyl, cocaine, and alcohol," according to People Magazine. Knowing about his substance abuse issues, and him being one of her best-friends, Grande would find his death to be a painful, traumatic experience of which she couldn't handle.
Taking a break from social media would prove beneficial to Grande, as she took time to work on her fifth-studio album, which 'Thank You, Next' will appear on.
With the death of a close friend, and a broken relationship, Grande would remain triumphant as each of these moments in her life has taught her love, patience, and pain.
You might ask yourself, why would anyone want to remember their ex?
For some, completely erasing the memories of past relationships is the path to take, but for Grande, accepting these mistakes offer a better understanding of herself; allowing her to gain a foundation of confidence and self-love.
The pop sensation clearly pens her relationships down in this song, those good and bad, to showcase the lessons she's learned and the power of letting go. Now that she has, she can finally move past the sobbing tears and heartbreak and revel in the opportunities of the future.
Heading into the new year, Grande can slowly go beyond the troubles of her sorrow and welcome a new era of Ariana. One where, instead of gathering tissues to brush away tears, she can dust her shoulders off and find love, not within others, but within herself.


Before I had ever sold a piece of art or made a print, I brought some paintings to the sunny Venice Beach Boardwalk at the suggestion of a friend. This is where my journey began!
Venice proved to be an amazing creative catalyst and small business training ground. Starting about eight years ago, it forced me to evolve based on people's boardwalk shopping habits. I started developing wallet-friendly prints from my original larger works - prints which now enable me to focus on my creativity full time.
I'll always remember Venice Beach and the interactions I've had with boardwalk visitors. Over the years they inspired my art and offered encouragement and support to keep creating.

Over a decade after its release on the PlayStation 2, Square Enix has released the remastered version of Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age for the PlayStation 4.
New players of the series might have a hard time at the early stages of the game, as some enemies can be hard to take down. This guide will help you power level at a fairly early part of the game, allowing you to take down any enemy with ease.
For this method of Power Leveling in Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age, players will have to take down a monster with the help of Phoenix Downs. So you will have to get your hands on that. If you do not have any Phoenix Downs on you, not to worry, as this guide will help you farm Phoenix Down as well.
Before we take down the monster that will help you level up, we will need to get our hands on an item called Phoenix Down. The monster that needs to be killed is quite strong, and you won't be able to take it down without this item. By using the Phoenix Down on the monster, players will instantly kill it and you will get a ton of XP and LP (Licence Points) for the kill.
This jar will spawn randomly and it contains the Phoenix Down. Directly behind the spot shown in the image, is a small village. Once you have opened the jar and have obtained the Phoenix Down, go to the village behind you and then enter this area again to loot the jar. Sometimes the jar will not spawn so you can just go back to the village and repeat the whole process.
If you are looking for an easier way to get Phoenix Downs and have a lot of Gil, then the second method is a lot more convenient. The second method requires you to purchase the Phoenix Down from the vendor. To unlock the item for the vendor, you must first get Penelo in your party and have the quest called Lightstone/Shadestone. Once you have met those requirements, you have to talk to Jinn in the South Giza Plains. He will be next to a black rock. Talk to him and he will give you a Shadestone. This will update the vendors and they will now sell the Phoenix Down you are looking for.
Once you have the shadestone, head to the Nalbina Fortress. Look for a vendor right next to the entrance of the fortress and he will sell you the Phoenix Down. Make sure you have a lot of Gils, as one Phoenix Down costs 200 Gils and that is a lot for the early stages of the game. If you don't have any Gils to spare, then resort to the first method.
Before you enter the area shown in the image, you must reach the requirement needed to spawn the monster mentioned before. The mob you want to kill, in order to level up, only spawns while you are below 10% HP, so before you enter the area, remove your weapon and hit yourself until you have below 10% HP.
Make sure you save the game before doing that, because you can kill yourself by accident. To make life easier, you will have to change a couple of options in your Config settings as well. You will have to change the Battle Mode option to Wait and Battle Speed to slow. This will allow you to get off an attack before the mob.
Now that you have sorted out your options and have the Phoenix Down needed, you are ready to go into the area where the Mob is located. Once there, instantly open up your items menu and use the Phoenix Down. This will instantly kill the Mob and you will get the XP and LP for the kill. Run back to the previous area and repeat the process. This will give you a ton of XP and LP, and you will be able to power level very quickly.
While doing this whole process, make sure you save often, as the Dustia mob can kill you with one hit. Hopefully this guide helped you get a ton of XP and reach the level you wanted.


In late 2015, 20th Century Fox tapped filmmaker Josh Boone to helm an adaptation of 'The New Mutants'. Throughout the following year, the director behind 'The Fault in Our Stars' worked with co-writer Knate Gwaltney and the team of Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber to punch up the script. Now in 2017, we're closer than ever to getting the X-Men spinoff as the production has entered the casting phase with 'Game of Thrones' star Maisie Williams and Anya Taylor-Joy of 'The Witch' and 'Split' being the first stars added to the project. But as Fox assembles the teammates of Wolfsbane and Magik, we've got new details about what kind of story we'll be seeing in spring 2018.
A horror movie where the heroes save the world from themselves? This is most certainly an intriguing idea and definitely something that sets this movie apart from the rest of Fox's X-Men universe. But as with any great idea, it all depends on the execution. As we wait for more details on the upcoming Marvel mutant movie, let us know what you think about 'New Mutants' so far in the comments below.

Only 10% of illegal Filipinos leave Saudi Arabia
Gulf Saudi
Some Filipinos who left Saudi Arabia said they were treated 'like animals'
Published: November 05, 2013 14:00 By Barbara Mae Dacanay, Bureau Chief
Manila: More than 12,000 overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) have processed their papers and are waiting for their exit clearance and visa before they could return home, but they represent a little more than 10 per cent of a total of 108,000 undocumented OFWs in Saudi Arabia where authorities began a crackdown on illegal foreign workers on November 3, giving the Philippine government a very big problem to solve, sources told Gulf News.
Some 12,729 OFWS are awaiting exit clearance, confirmed Labour Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz.
The Commission on Overseas Filipinos (COF) said that 108,000 OFWs in Saudi Arabia are undocumented based on labour records in 2012.
Since the processing of papers take time, following the month of Ramadan, of the 12,729 OFWs who are ready to go home, only a total of 1,433 OFWs — 992 in Jeddah and 441 in Riyadh — are near the finish line of getting their clearance and exit visa, said Baldoz, hinting that the rest, about 11,296, would have to wait longer for their papers to be processed.
As a stop-gap measure, the Saudi government has given the assurance that those who have processed their papers would not be arrested, said Vice-President Jejomar Binay, also a presidential adviser on overseas Filipino workers' affairs.
Meanwhile, the Philippine government has to solve two major problems: to give shelter to OFWs whose papers are being processed, so that they will not be arrested, and give assistance to OFWs who have not yet processed their papers. This could come in many forms.
The number of OFWs who have not yet processed their papers could be as high as 90,000 or as low as 80,000, said a source from the labour department who requested anonymity.
"As of November 2, prior to the November 3 deadline for amnesty to illegal foreign workers, 727 OFWs, 428 women and 299 men, had called up the Philippine Embassy in Riyadh regarding access to shelter," labour secretary Baldoz said. On Monday, about 206 OFWs were sheltered in the Migrant Overseas Workers Resource Centre in Riyadh, she added.
Migrante, a non-government organisation that looks after the welfare of OFWs has identified a low number of 6,700 illegal OFWs in the Middle East who need assistance.
About 1,700 of them are in Jeddah, and 5,000 in Al Khobar, Damman, and Riyadh, said Gary Martinez of Migrante, whose office launched hotlines for OFWs who would need shelter.
Sources said that Migrante has the liberty to offer shelter to illegal OFWs, whose number might prove too big for a non-government organisation.
Monetary assistance
At the same time, the Philippine government has set aside 50 million pesos (Dh4.16 million) additional budget for all OFWs who would be affected by the crackdown in Saudi Aarbia starting November 3.
The assistance includes travel documents for illegal OFWs, said Ambassador Raul Hernandez, spokesman of Manila's foreign affairs department.
An undocumented migrant can be imprisoned for six months to one year and fined from 12,000 to 20,000 Saudi riyals (Dh11,749 to Dh19,582).
The Philippine government has also set aside a 2-billion peso (Dh 166.6 million) fund for the re-integration of OFWs who are deported to the Philippines.
The Philippine government also faces the problem of slow return of illegal OFWS. "They come back in trickles, and the suffering they reveal sound like hell, which the Philippine government must promptly appease and soothe," observed another source from the labour department who requested anonymity.
The snail-paced arrival of illegal and vulnerable OFWs from Saudi Arabia could mean more work, time, and money for Philippine officials.
With the help of Senator Cynthia Villar's Villar Foundation, 30 deported OFWs arrived on Sunday night. Sobbing, they told reporters about "feet being chained," or "being treated like animals".
Thirteen more OFWS, including children, are arriving on Wednesday.
Different line agencies have been giving different numbers of OFWs who were repatriated — from 4,420 to 4,530. "The Riyadh Philippine Embassy and the Jeddah Philippine Consulate have released travel documents to 10,760 OFWs," said the foreign affairs office.
On March 28, Saudi Arabia began a crackdown on illegal overseas workers. Giving a reprieve, King Andullah Bin Abdul Aziz allowed illegal foreign workers until April to process their papers to pave the way for the legalisation of their stay in the country.
The request for extension from July 3 to November 3, the deadline of amnesty for undocumented workers, came from the governments of Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Philippines; and employers of foreign workers from these countries.
More than one million OFWs are based in Saudi Arabia. More than 10 million OFWs are based worldwide.

During my study of "strange phenomena" I continually saw how people maintained belief in some of these things no matter how flimsy the evidence was.
Clearly the desire to believe could overcome almost any obstacle – even confessions of hoaxing were dismissed. Objective truth really didn't matter. Reality was what someone wanted to believe.
This experience made me increasingly aware of how Christians can also fall into the same trap and their faith becomes more subjective, based on experience and desire instead of on a solid and sure foundation. Even when the reality created out of experience and desire contradicts the claimed foundation of their professed faith, experience and desire are given priority. Excuses are made by applying select portions of scripture in a way that is clearly not appropriate to their context. Verses are used in isolation to mean what is most useful to the one quoting them.
One area that I see regularly stretching the truth is teaching on the last days. A key warning sign regarding this teaching is when the bible has little part to play in the teaching. Yes a verse or two may be quoted – but usually the quotes are taken out of context to support a point already made by the preacher, rather than starting with scripture to see what IT could mean as a stand alone revelation. If it were possible to consider the quote WITHOUT the expectation already created by the speaker we would probably never come to the conclusion he has led us to draw.
So many of the preachers on this topic start with a current political situation and then support it with a few bible verses. Recently I heard a talk about Europe that promotes popular conclusions about the European community being set up as a revived Roman Empire from which antichrist will arise.It was very interesting and very convincing.
The speaker mentioned one of the symbols of this revived Empire – the image of a woman riding a beast, an image straight from the book of Revelation.Unfortunately, being an audio source I wasn't able to see the visual evidence that the speaker was presenting to his audience and I had to check it later through an internet search.
The results of that search are part for the reason for writing this article.
I found plenty of examples of this "woman riding the beast" and yes, on seeing this evidence the speaker's claims are quite convincing…UNTIL we turn to scripture itself. Scripture DOES describe a woman riding a beast – but do the European images match the scriptural description?
The European images refer to Europa riding a bull (an image from Greek mythology), a common enough animal with one head and two horns. The beast being ridden in Revelation has SEVEN heads and TEN horns. Surely this is quite a significant difference.
This particular speaker is not the only one to link the Europa image to the Revelation reference. In my search for photos I found that some of them were provided by sites devoted to "end time prophecy". While Europe does make use of an image of a woman riding a beast, linking this with the description in Revelation is a clear case of misusing scripture. I would even go as far as saying it is an ABUSE of scripture.
A few years ago I bought a DVD from a visiting speaker at a local church. The DVD was about "The End Times", and I was interested to see what the speaker had to say on the topic. I shouldn't have been surprised to find that there was little (actually I don't recall ANYTHING) that addressed scripture. The speaker concentrated on some allegations he had read about Mikhail Gorbachev that supposedly had something to do with end time's prophecy.
And I can't claim innocence in this matter. In the late 1980s, exposure of the "New Age Movement" was becoming popular with many Christian communicators. Several books were released and I collected a few recordings of preachers speaking on the dangers of the New Age. I became extremely interested and when I had the opportunity to preach at my local church, I made this the subject of my sermon. It made a fascinating study and the congregation were very interested in what I had to say – but in reality, what relevance did it all have? At the most it gave a highly speculative view of the end times that had a very tenuous connection to what is revealed in bible prophecy. Even saying there was a tenuous connection is being far too complimentary – in reality there was NO real connection at all between scripture and the content of my talk. The same can be said of the majority of popular "End Time" teaching that I've come across.
I would add another that Christians should be wary of: "Speculation" dressed up as Biblical truth.
Bring it Brother! I hope there's a Part III.
I'm sure enough examples could be found for part III, part IV and beyond.

Q: Why does MATCH (FullTextSearch) AGAINST ('*' IN BOOLEAN MODE) return nothing? MATCH (FullTextSearch) AGAINST ('k*' IN BOOLEAN MODE)
return something
Namely anything with a word that start with k
MATCH (FullTextSearch) AGAINST ('ku*' IN BOOLEAN MODE)
return less
MATCH (FullTextSearch) AGAINST ('kuc*' IN BOOLEAN MODE)
return even less
we figure that more should be returned if we just use *
MATCH (FullTextSearch) AGAINST ('*' IN BOOLEAN MODE)
returns nothing instead of what it should, namely EVERYTHING. Why?
Note: This means I have to specially code my sql command for empty string.

A: Per the MySQL Documentation on Boolean mode Full Text Search the aserisk wildcard is only applicable in the context of a word.
The engine is looking for a word that starts with whatever precedes the asterisk.  Since there is nothing preceding the asterisk, and no words start with an empty string, you get no results.

The Coalition Government has been running into huge political opposition to its attempts to marketise and privatise parts of the NHS. But meanwhile they have actually started to do this to schools and nobody appears to have noticed. An article in the Observer this weekend called State schools hover on the brink of huge private sector revolution seems to have woken up quite a few people.
As this blog has reported a free school is to open in Brandon in Suffolk when the Breckland Middle School closes later this year. This school is to be run by a Swedish company who are going to make a profit. They are even calling the school after the company. It will be known as "IES Brandon".
The way this has happened involved smoke and mirrors. There was a local school group called "SABRES" who are a group of parents who set out trying to save Breckland Middle School from closure. Matthew Hancock, local Tory MP and other politicians began to "help" the group. They got to go to London, meet the Secretary of State, got their name in the papers. As the group lacked the expertise to actually manage a school themselves they were convinced by the said politicians that they needed to tender for "experienced" companies to run the school.
The group are assured that it them that will be really running the school but in reality they will have far less control over the school than the Governors of the Middle School it will replace had. The name of the school tells you who is running it. This is in effect a contract between the Secretary of State and the company IES. The local Governors seem to be there for appearances more than anything else. But this trick allows the DfE to claim that the school is not profit making as the local founders make no money from it.
"It is awful, but we kind of have to accept failure more than we do at the moment. So if a school does fail because of its results, then that is right that it should fail – it should not be kept going at all costs. Yes, it is awful at that time for that year group, but surely the next year will be better for them rather than saying we are going to forsake the next five years of that child's education. So if there is an awful company out there, then they should be allowed to fail and then someone else can take over."
I am not sure if they included this in their pitch to run the Brandon Free School. Probably not.
A market as King points out requires failure to work. Bad business fail and are replaced by better ones. It is interesting that King picks up on what is so wrong with this model when it comes to schools. The damage done to the children going to the school whilst it is being allowed to fail.
And in some areas, Suffolk in particular, there is simply not enough "competition" for this model to work even if it was desirable. It will become like the train line I simply have to use to get to work. Run by whatever private company happens to win the contract. I don't have any "choice".
the profit motive attracts investment. It puts private capital to work in productive ways, incentivising efficient management of resources and consistent delivery of quality outcomes, so that learners are not lost to competitors. Any profit generated, or capital gain, is new wealth, which may be invested in expanding the benefits of the services provided to new customers.
these advantages do not depend on people being especially public-spirited. All that is required is sensible business decisions and standards may be raised.
And to be honest I have not seen any evidence of "investment" by the private sector. The capital costs for Breckland for example are being paid for by the DfE not IES. They seem to be able to take the profit without putting up any of the capital.
The privatisations of the last Tory Government have had mixed success. The railways probably represent the worst and clearly demonstrate that running something to make a profit does not guarantee a good service. As it is a combination of ancient rolling stock, inadequate investment in the infrastructure and poor customer service makes the experience deeply unpleasant and the fact someone is actually making money out of it just adds insult to injury. They certainly don't deserve to.
So they are coming for our schools now. Local schools that have been managed locally for a hundred years or more in many cases. Built by the Church or by the local council for the public good. Built out of the belief that education is a right for all, that it is something special and important. That bringing up children and educating them is something unique not just another business.
They say a village dies when it looses its pub but the loss of its school is worse. A school is an integral part of the local community, part of what binds people together.
So when they come for our schools we should tell them that they are not for sale. That some things are too important to fail. Too precious to be measured in pounds and pence. We must wake up and stop this happening before it is too late and our local schools are stolen from us to make money for the few.

                    Ideally we would use maven-protoc-plugin to invoke protoc, but that plugin is not in Maven
                    Central. We wish to deploy this library to Maven Central, and guidelines for doing so
                    forbid relying on dependencies which are not also in central:
                    https://docs.sonatype.org/display/Repository/Sonatype+OSS+Maven+Repository+Usage+Guide

                    Therefore we use maven-antrun-plugin to invoke protoc as a workaround. Note: like
                    maven-protoc-plugin, this requires protoc to be installed on the machine, and be accessible
                    via the 'protoc' command.

                    To install protoc (Google Protocol Buffers), follow instructions at

                    refer to dependency classes in their new package.

                    Also we configure some transformers to merge open source licences present in any of the jars.

Q: Confluence Plugin I am going to develop Confluence plugin using JAVA .I downloaded Confluence SDK and installed in my local machine. We don not know how to create plugin project in either Netbeans or Eclipse IDE.

A: Atlassian has e very good documentation about this:

*

*Create a HelloWorld Plugin Project

*Set Up the Eclipse IDE for Windows

*Set up the Atlassian Plugin SDK and Build a Project
Also have a look at:

*

*Confluence Plugin Guide

*Writing Confluence Plugins

A: Have you tried that?
https://wiki.base22.com/display/btg/Setting+Up+Your+Environment+for+Confluence+Plugin+Development#SettingUpYourEnvironmentforConfluencePluginDevelopment-Importprojectintoeclipse
A simple Google search should be enough...

The United Veterans of Holyoke will honor the city's veterans during a Nov. 10 ceremony at Holyoke High School. At 9 a.m., a Massachusetts National Guard helicopter crew will land at Roberts Field adjacent to the high school. The ceremony begins in the auditorium at 10 a.m.
The service usually occurs annually on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, at the War Memorial Building.
Nov. 11 recognizes the month, day and time the guns fell silent on the Western Front during World War I. The carnage left millions dead, destroyed cities, scorched countrysides and caused deep-seated resentments that led to World War II.
Holyoke Mall, Pet Night With Santa!

The recognition and development of new opportunities are at the heart of entrepreneurship. Building from Kirzner's (1973, 1999) work, cognition theory, and McMullen and Shepherd's (2006) recent development, we offer a model involving three distinct elements of alertness: scanning and search, association and connection, and evaluation and judgment. We then conduct multiple studies to develop and validate a 13-item alertness scale that captures these three dimensions. Results demonstrate appropriate dimensionality, strong reliability, and content, convergent, discriminant, and nomological validity. The resultant instrument provides researchers with a valuable tool for probing the entrepreneurial opportunity development process including antecedents and outcomes.
