Eclipse update snafu

I finally updated Eclipse to 3.0.1. The first and second times I did this Eclipse would not restart. It would refer me to a log file for further info. In the log file I would find several messages like:

!MESSAGE Bundle update@/y:/Downloads/eclipse-SDK-3.0-win32/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.core.win32_2.0.1/ [7] was not resolved.

The first time this happened to me I re-installed Eclipse after a quick search for possible fixes turned up nothing. Today I looked a little harder and found a recommendation to delete everything in the configuration directory except the config.xml file. This forces Eclipse to re-index the plugins. The error above refers to the C/C++ Eclipse plugin so re-indexing the plugins could be a likely fix. Now Eclipse would start. Since my configuration checks for updates, Eclipse asked me if I wanted to update my installation. The installation process evidently knew it had the most current version of the files so it did not download the files again but proceeded directly to installing the files. When the installation process completed it asked to restart the workspace. This time Eclipse restarted without errors and the installation was up to date.

I am back at Article Manager 2.7

I found several bugs in Article Manager 2.8 yesterday so I went back to 2.7. This first bug appears on the home page as a separate block. It says it cannot find an article in a red font and then proceeds to create normal looking Article Manger block below it with all of the current articles. Then I tried to create a new article it said the template was missing. I do not know why I did not find these bugs earlier.

While trying to identify the source of the bug, I ended up screwing up the tables and had to selectively restore the tables from backup. It sure is nice that bluehost.com performs daily, weekly, and monthly backups.

Article Manager 2.8

Eloi has continued to refine Article Manager. The latest verions is 2.8. I have used it on two sites and I like the results. Most of the documents I want to publish fit into the style he supports so we are a good match. I am sure I could use a different style with Article Manager but I feel a need to publish more before going back to playing.

RE: Outlook & Exchange Resource List

Eric Legault has published his list of Outlook & Exchange resources… it’s pretty comprehensive…

Perhaps our Links page will need to have some additions…
