JavaFX for iOS NetBeans Plugin available

For NetBeans 7.4 there is a plugin available for building JavaFX applications for iOS devices. The plugin uses RoboVM to translate Java byte-code to native ARM code.

It can be downloaded here: http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/52156/javafx-for-ios-project-support

Install JDK 8 on Raspberry Pi

What you need:

• Raspberry Pi (model B)
• Raspbian installed

Install JDK 8:

• Get Oracle JDK 8 (with JavaFX) for ARM from the Oracle download page: http://jdk8.java.net/download.html
  You need the Linux ARMv6/7 VFP, HardFP ABI version
• Extract it to /opt/jdk1.8.0/ using:
  sudo tar zxvf jdk-8-ea-b*.tar.gz -C /opt
• Setup Java
  

  sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/opt/jdk1.8.0/bin/java" 1
  sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javac" "javac" "/opt/jdk1.8.0/bin/javac" 1

If there is more than one java runtime installed check which version is used by output of:

java -version

If it is the wrong java runtime version, solve this by running:

sudo update-alternatives --config java

And choose the appropriate option.

Enable/Disable GPGMail 2 Sign by default

After Installation of the GPGTools (including GPGMail 2) the mail app tries to sign all outgoing mail by default. Unfortunately this can not be configured in the settings. But there are hidden settings.

To disable sign by default (one line!):

defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/org.gpgtools.gpgmail SignNewEmailsByDefault -bool NO

To enable sign by default (one line!):

defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/org.gpgtools.gpgmail SignNewEmailsByDefault -bool YES

For the complete list of hidden GPGMail 2 settings see here: http://support.gpgtools.org/kb/faq-gpgmail/gpgmail-2-hidden-settings
