Cannot use SUN rmic, as it is not available.

I download ofbiz weekly build[ofbiz_20080602.zip] from sourceforge and try to build it on eclipse. How to config on eclipse? How to use ofbiz with external database? you can find out from google or may be I'll post here later.:P
This post is about error when I run ant build target 'run-install' to load configured data. Below error'll show on eclipse console.
...
stubs:
[rmic] RMI Compiling 1 class to D:\eclipse_workspace\ofbiz2\framework\service\build\classes

BUILD FAILED
D:\eclipse_workspace\ofbiz2\build.xml:125: The following error occurred while executing this line:
D:\eclipse_workspace\ofbiz2\framework\build.xml:142: The following error occurred while executing this line:
D:\eclipse_workspace\ofbiz2\framework\service\build.xml:101: Cannot use SUN rmic, as it is not available. A common solution is to set the environment variable JAVA_HOME or CLASSPATH.

Total time: 8 seconds

I solve this by browse to Window->Preferences->Ant->Runtime then highlight on 'Global Entries', click 'Add Externals JARs' then select tools.jar from your $JAVA_HOME/lib directory. Try run ant build again then it sould be fine.

Too many open files

Last week tomcat log file report many error about "Too many open files" when it has high traffic. Some in catalina_log say 2007-04-07 16:13:40 HttpProcessor[80][272] Starting background thread 2007-04-07 16:13:40 HttpConnector[80] accept: java.net.SocketException: Too many open files and here is from localhost_log 2007-04-07 16:13:40 StandardWrapperValve[myservlet]: Servlet.service() for servlet myservlet threw exception java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/log/mylog_070407.log (Too many open files) This is because too many file descriptors're opened by tomcat. File descriptor can be limited in both system level and shell level. To check maximum number of fd in system type 'cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max'. In my case it is 65536(someone said it should set to 200000). Tomcat error when try to open socket number 272 so I think 65536 is ok for me for now. Anyway if u want to set it add 'fs.file-max = 200000' to /etc/sysctl.conf pnix@pnix-a7:~$ cat /proc/sys/fs/fil...

using Class.getResource() load resource file in Eclipse

There are many ways to load resource file in java app. What sun recommended is using Class.getResource(" resource_name ") or Class.getResourceAsStream(" resource_name ") then you will get URL and InputStream respectively. If resource_name is specified without "/", it will be prepend with Class package. So resource file must be in same place[folder structure] as the Class. What I love to do is call getResource() with "/" and put resource file at the root of package. This way i can have separate resource folder. below is in Eclipse, 1. From Package explorer right click src folder->click import 2. In import dialog, Choose General->File System ->next 3. from directory:->Browse to your resource folder. 4. to folder:-> I add "resource" as a folder name under src folder. then click "Finish". In the code, load resource with this.getClass().getResource("/resource/buttons1.png") or this.getClass().getResourceAs...
