Obscure Java error

Got a “java.lang.InternalError:Can’t connect to window server” while trying to get Glassfish up and running on a Mac G5 running Mac OS X recently at work which was pretty odd as our application and Glassfish do not fire up any GUIs. After some googling, problem was fixed by adding a ‘-Djava.awt.headless=true’ to the list of system variables.

Although it was fixed relatively easily, it seems rather odd that Java would actually try to access the X server even though I was running it through a SSH terminal window (PuTTY)..

Eclipse IDE 3.3 (Europa) released

EclipseIf you’re developing in Java and have not used Eclipse before, you don’t know what you’re missing out. :)

Probably would test out the Web Tools project of the Europa release as web services and distribution seems to be my domain at work in recent times..
