Finally, after many problmes, I got Suversive working on Ganymede. So here I report what you have to do, if you want to do the same.
The update URLs to use are the followings:

http://download.eclipse.org/releases/ganymede
http://www.polarion.org/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/2.0/ganymede-site/

The first one is already present in Eclipse, the second one, you have to add.
From eclipse menu HELP => Software Updates...
Select Available software [...]

I blogged before about how bad is the choice to "incubate" Subversive in Eclipse.
Friday evening I wasted much time to find a tutorial on Eclipse and Polarion site explaining how to install Subversive in Ganymede. No way: Eclipse site point to Polarion and Polarion site points to Eclipse site, and both of them are outdated, [...]

Typing password is tedious. The "remember my password" has been invented to avoid users to type the passwords. A nice day some genius invented the "password manager" and... guess what? It asks for a password!
The Secure Storage has been added in Eclipse Ganymede, it is compulsory, and this is why I really hate it. I [...]

Looking at little details, also in the user interface, Eclipse Ganymede is not a stable release. I tried on Linux, so I don't know if things go better with Windows.
The worst part is the update manager: incredibly slow, bad working and hangs frequently; much better the old one.
I lost a couple of hours this morning [...]

Since the update to Eclipse 3.3 I am noticing that on my current work project the hot code replacement (while in debug) is nomore working: not triggered at all. I’ve not made further investigation, other than checking on Eclipse release notes that someone worked on that feature. But I found no warnings. If someone noticed […]

I needed a tool to convert Java source code to a nicely printed HTML for this blog.
I already knew about Java2Html, that does a great job, but I wanted a clever html and nicer row numbers. Looking inside it, I found that the code for parsing could be simplified, and generated html could be lightweighted, […]

I really love Google Personal HomePage. Google Personal HomePage lets you to have GMail, Google Calendar, Google Reader, Google Analytics, weather forecasts, and much more in a single page for a quick overview. Almost any application can be integrated with it.
Recently Google launched Google Docs & Spreadsheets, which makes possible to write and […]

It has been a long wait, but finally Eclipse Callisto is ready for the download!
Callisto is a sort of distribution of 10 projects released and tested to work properly together. This is a big step for the Eclipse IDE: the time of different plugin releases conflicts is over.
Sometime ago I used to build my […]

A thing I usually do with firefox is to read documentation. Usually also BIG documentation. An example of that is the JDK javadocs or other libraries documentation. I think that this is quite common to any kind of developer.
So a thing that I would like that any browser to do is the ability to serve […]

Today I tried to use remote debugging with Eclipse and Tomcat. I usually use a Tomcat Sysdeo Plugin to run Tomcat inside Eclipse, but today I faced remote debugging. To run tomcat in remote debugging you can start it with command catalina jpda start But this will start remote debugging using shared memory, and Eclipse, as far as I [...]
