Iterators in PHP
Recently, while playing with Scala/Python/PHP comparative implementation of lazy algorithms (I will hopefully describe them some days later) with colleague and friend of mine Michael Fuks, I sorrowfully discovered that, despite there are several SPL units, which define basic Iterator interfaces and functionality, most of the functionality available for arrays is missing for Iterators.
So [...]

Programming in Scala
Got the Programming in Scala eBook. I hope to get time and build an experimental Eclipse Plugin with it.

Eclipse Galileo RC1 Update Manager RT Equinox P2 is still not good enough for me yet
I’ve just failed to install JDT over clean Eclipse Platform RC1 (and this time a bug has been opened):
An error occurred while installing the items
session context was:(profile=PlatformProfile, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.provisional.p2.engine.phases.Install, operand=null –> [R]org.eclipse.ant.ui 3.4.0.v20090504, action=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.actions.InstallBundleAction).
Error while loading manipulator.

Retrying causes the message immediately. Reverting to the previous installation stage does not help. Restarting does not [...]

Eclipse Maven Integration
Honestly, I was pretty unsure regarding Maven at all. “Why should I port my projects from Ant, where everything is plain, simple and predictable? Single point integration jars are connected to their dependent projects, shared ones are extracted to a Libraries project. Deployment is as easy as checkout and build…” - I convinced myself.
But soon [...]

Why Eclipse Equinox P2 Update Manager is not good enough for me yet
As you all know in Eclipse 3.4 there is a new Update Manager (more correctly - Plug-in Manager) which is intended to be better.
The update managing side of it is an improvement indeed. But the first thing raised my alertness is there is no place to point where do I want my selected plug-ins to [...]

Working with Eclipse on two displays - Picture
As I mentioned previously, recently I started to work on two monitors. Here comes the picture (sorry for the bad quality):

Working with Eclipse on two displays
Several days ago I was given an additional monitor, and the question of “how to arrange Eclipse view on two displays” was raised. After several tests I made the conclusion that the best way is to stay with my default preferred arrangement, with single difference - to detach and move all the non-editor views to [...]

Java Code Structure and Dependencies Analysis Tools for Eclipse
One of my first assignments at the new company (remember, I left Zend previous week), was analysing existing projects structure. Which means distribution of classes into packages, package dependencies, libraries usage etc.
The results, I would say, were far from being perfect, but I can bet, most of large (and especially proprietary) projects would look similar or even worse. But this is not what I was going to say.
What I am going to say, is for this purpose I evaluated several analysis tools and I want to share my opinion about them.
Here they are (in order of evaluation).
1. Eclipse Metrics(1) (CPL)
Pros: Runs fast, provides tangle detector.
Cons: Dependencies graph is not usable with large projects. No text output of dependencies is available.
2. Eclipse Metrics(2) (CPL)
Pros: no.
Cons: Does not analyze dependencies.
2. JDepend
Pros: Nice and simple UI, fast analysis.
Cons: Provides neither graph [...]

Maybe several additional, but minor [...]
