Filter .svn folders in Eclipse Navigator

Gepubliceerd op 16 november 2010 in Programming.

To hide the .svn folders from the Eclipse Navigator there’s no UI setting, you need to create a plugin. So here it is, a little plugin to hide .svn folders:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?eclipse version="3.0"?>
<plugin id="com.kwebble.ide.navigator.filter" name="Filter .svn folders" version="1.0">
	<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.ide.resourceFilters">
		<filter pattern=".svn" selected="true"/>
	</extension>
</plugin>

Put this in a com.kwebble.ide.navigator.filter folder under the Eclipse plugins folder.

To filter files with different names adjust the pattern accordingly.

A trim() method for the JavaScript String class

Gepubliceerd op 25 juni 2010 in Programming.

Just rediscovered that IE still doesn’t include the trim() method on the String class. Here’s a snippet of code, based on an answer on StackOverflow, to make sure there’s a trim method available:

if (typeof String.prototype.trim !== 'function') {
    String.prototype.trim = function() {
        return this.replace(/^\s\s*/, '').replace(/\s\s*$/, '');
    }
}

On the positive side I also found out about the debugger included in IE 8. Just like Firebug, available via F12!
