Eclipse: Install new software wizard does not enable the Finish button

2010-05-02T10:15:00.000-07:00

This is a known bug in eclipse 3.5(may be other versions too!)
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=277265

But I found that this behavior occurs only when user selects more than one update from the the updates list.

When I tried to select only one item from the updates list and go through the wizard the finish button was enabled. So it may be a good workaround to install each update individually.

Dalivk & Android

2010-05-02T02:31:00.000-07:00

Dalvik is the virtual machine on Android mobile devices.

It runs applications which have been converted into a compact Dalvik Executable (.dex) format suitable for systems that are constrained in terms of memory and processor speed.

Eclipse: "Install New Software" does not work!!

2010-04-30T09:21:00.000-07:00

Sometimes you need to install a plugin for eclipse IDE using URL, But when you paste the url in the update manager (Help > Install New Software) nothing appears in the update list

A workaround that may help is to try to type anything in "the filter text area" (ex: 1111).
Then clear these characters and it should work!!

what are Dynamic programming languages?

2010-04-29T13:22:00.000-07:00

They are the languages that can execute common behaviors at runtime where other languages perform at compilation time!!

Example:
Eval
This function takes a string parameter containing code in the language, and executes it. If this code stands for an expression, the resulting value is returned.

In python :

>>> y = 1

>>> print eval('y+3')

4
