Sample ant build file for OSGi bundles

Okay.. after I put the example the other day, I realised it is so worse to be clicking on export and choosing the manifest file all the time. So For a quick start people can use this build.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project name="BundleName" default="deploy" basedir=".">
    <property name="version" value="1.0.0" />

    <property name="src" location="src" />
    <property name="build" location="build" />
    <property name="deployloc" location="/home/to/equinox/bundles" />
    <property name="dist" location="dist" />
    <property name="buildfilename" value="${ant.project.name}-${version}.jar"/>

    <path id="classpath.buildtime">
        <pathelement location="/home/to/equinox/equinox.jar" />
        <pathelement location="/home/to/dependency.jar" />
    </path>

    <target name="init" depends="clean">
        <tstamp />
        <mkdir dir="${build}" />
    </target>

    <target name="compile" depends="init" description="compile the source ">
        <javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${build}" classpathref="classpath.buildtime" />
    </target>

    <target name="dist" depends="compile" description="generate the distribution">
        <mkdir dir="${dist}"/>
        <jar jarfile="${dist}/${ant.project.name}-${version}.jar" basedir="${build}" manifest="META-INF/MANIFEST.MF">
            <manifest>
                <attribute name="Bundle-Name" value="${ant.project.name}"/>
                <attribute name="Bundle-Version" value="${version}"/>
            </manifest>
        </jar>
    </target>

    <target name="deploy" depends="dist">
        <copy file="${dist}/${buildfilename}" todir="${deployloc}" overwrite="true"/>
    </target>

    <target name="clean" description="clean up">
        <delete dir="${build}" />
        <delete dir="${dist}" />
    </target>
</project>

Decorator for Memcache Get/Set in python

I have suggested some time back that you could modularize and stitch together fragments of js and css to spit out in one HTTP connection. That makes the page load faster. I also indicated that there ways to tune them by adding cache-control headers. On the server-side however, you could have a memcache layer on the stitching operation. This saves a lot of Resources (CPU) on your server. I will demonstrate this using a python script I use currently on my site to generate the combined js and css fragments. So My stitching method is like this @memize(region="jscss") def joinAndPut(files, ext): res = files.split("/") o = StringIO.StringIO() for f in res: writeFileTo(o, ext + "/" + f + "." + ext) #writes file out ret = o.getvalue() o.close() return ret; The method joinAndPut is * decorated * by memize. What this means is, all calls to joinAndPut are now wrapped (at runtime) with the logic in memize. All you wa

One page Stock

Alright.. That was a long absence. The whole last week I dint blog. I dint go away. I was "occupied". I was learning stock trading. Its very fascinating. I have a good weeeked blog for you all. Here is my experience. I can literally hyper-link every word from the following paragraphs, but I am writing it as simple as I can so you can look up the italicised words in wikipedia . I got a paper trading account from a brokerage firm . You need one brokerage account first. Then it can be an Equity account where all your money is yours or a Margin account , where some of the money is lent by the brokerage firm. Then I get Buying power , which is the dollor value of how much stocks you can buy. I can make profit by simple rules. Buy when Price is low. Sell when price is high. There is another more intersting way of earning money. Selling short . Thats when price is not high, per say, but when are confident that the price WILL go down. then buy back when its lowest. This is what
