  • EGit pushes all local branches when no explicit RefSpec is found

    Cloning a Git repository with EGit 1.0 and no further configuration causes some unexpected behavior. The moment you clone a repository, say from GitHub, everything is set up for you, and you are ready to push and pull. And since you fully adopted the Git workflow, you do create a new branch for every bug…

  • JCrypTool on GitHub

    JCrypTool moved to GitHub! Migration was a little pain in the ass, mostly due to our somehow strange project structure in our Subversion repositories on SourceForge. The new repositories on GitHub are much cleaner and easier to use. Besides that, of course, GitHub (and Git) is much faster. Our projects at SourceForge will be read-only…

  • New JCrypTool Developers and Users groups at Google

    The JCrypTool Developers and JCrypTool Users groups are now located at Google groups. The new developers group is available here: http://groups.google.com/group/jcryptool-developers. And the new users group is available at http://groups.google.com/group/jcryptool-users. Feel free to join the JCrypTool community!

  • JCrypTool full-screen support on Mac OS X 10.7

    Thanks to Alex Blewitt's blog post JCrypTool now offers full-screen support on Mac OS X 10.7. Not a perfect solution, since some Eclipse internals are used which create the corresponding Java compiler warnings. But better than no full-screen at all. The visualizations look just great in full-screen! Hopefully Eclipse will provide an official solution for…

  • Push up your code – next generation version control with (E)Git @ Java Forum Stuttgart

    The slides from my talk Push up your code – next generation version control with (E)Git today at the Java Forum Stuttgart are available for download. All the other slides are available here.

  • XML Security tutorials now on GitHub

    The German XML Security tutorials are now developed on GitHub. This does not affect the Eclipse XML Security Tools at all; the German tutorials will never be integrated there. The sources are only used to generate the tutorials available on my home page. I'm working on some content updates. As soon as this will be…

  • Integrating XML Security Tools into JCrypTool – chapter 2

    More updates for the XML Security Tools in JCrypTool: download our latest pre release candidate 5 build and enjoy a working Digital Signature wizard! Most of the other stuff is working too, at least partly. Feel free to report bugs or missing features, your feedback is always welcome.

  • Integrating XML Security Tools into JCrypTool – chapter 1

    The first commands of the XML Security Tools are running in JCrypTool! Download our latest pre release candidate 5 build and have a first look. There is still a lot to do, only the XML Canonicalization is fully working so far. And most of the documentation is available. The integrated Apache XML Security library has…

  • My session at the Java Forum Stuttgart

    My session for the upcoming Java Forum Stuttgart, Push up your code – next generation version control with (E)Git, was accepted! May session takes place at 12:15 p.m. (D4). As you can probably guess, it is about Git, especially about the Eclipse version EGit. The slides are in English, but I'll be speaking German. See…
