Change tab font in Eclipse Juno

If you tried Eclipse Juno, you may see that the tab fonts are “large”. The “Package Explorer” and “Outlet” tab font take a lot of space.

If you take a look in the preferences, in the appearance section, you won’t find anything related to these tabs.

The good news is that Eclipse use CSS for the main style, and you can edit these CSS.

If you take a look in ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins/org.eclipse.platform_4.2.0.v201206081400/css, you will find the different CSS used. On Linux, if you use the GTK style (in the Preferences/Appearances), the e4_default_gtk.css is used.

Edit this file and change the .MPartStack section :


.MPartStack {
font-size: 9;
font-family: "Droid Sans";
swt-simple: false;
swt-mru-visible: false;
}

Quarkus and "meta" extension

Quarkus is a great Java framework with a large ecosystem thanks to the extensions . Basically, if using Maven, your pom.xml contains the list of the extensions you want to use, meaning something like this: ... <dependency> <groupId>io.quarkus</groupId> <artifactId>quarkus-grpc</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>io.quarkus</groupId> <artifactId>quarkus-opentelemetry</artifactId> </dependency> ... It can quickly become large, and sometime you can have "conflict" between extensions (for example if you mix in the same dependencies set reactive and non reactive extensions). Quarkus "meta" extension To simplify the dependencies for the extensions you want to use (especially if it's basically the same extensions in all your services), you can create your own "meta" extension. This extension doesn't contain actual code, it "wraps" other exten

Getting started with Apache Karaf Minho

Apache Karaf Minho Apache Karaf Minho is a new runtime, completely created from scratch. The objectives are: super easy to use and run ligtning fast, including GraalVM support Kubernetes compliant to be easily used on the cloud helping to optimize cloud costs by supporting applications colocation providing turnkey services allowing you to create Minho applications in a minute Minho is composed by: minho-boot is the core of Minho. It contains the runtime launcher and the core services (service registry, lifecycle service, configuration service, ...). minho-* services provided additional functionnalities in the runtime. You can use these services to create your own services, it's also where you will find the services managing sepcific kind of applications, allowing colocation. minho-tooling optionally provide convenient tools to create your own runtime. It includes minho-maven-plugin for instance. In this blog post, we will take a quick tour on A

Apache Karaf Minho and OpenTelemetry

Image
Telemetry is an important part of a software stack, especially on distributed system (where services call each others). OpenTelemetry is a CNCF project coming from OpenTracing and OpenCensus. It provides API to easily instrument your code and tools to collect and export telemetry data (metrics, logs and traces). Before going into how to use OpenTelemetry with Minho, we have to understand some key concepts: Span is a single building block representing an operation or some unit of work that you want to capture. They are capable of standing on their own, referencing (or following) from other spans, storing metadata, tags, etc. Trace is a visualisation of the life of a request (or series of other operations) that is made up of one or more spans. This collection of spans work together to paint a picture of the overall request, allowing you to easily reconstruct what happened within each span, etc. SpanContext is a wrapper of key values pairs that associates a trace to one or mor
