Get rid of /CVS folders in your Eclipse project

If you’ve ever had to move your Java projects around and at the same time, need to sync to a CVS, you’ll know that having the CVS folders in the subdirectories of your project can really cause havoc. Here’s a simple way of removing them in Eclipse (sorry to other IDE users, I’m pro Eclipse ;)):

  1. Right click on the project
  2. Go to Team –> Disconnect
  3. When prompted, choose to delete the CVS meta data

I wish I had known about this earlier. Then I wouldn’t have resorted to writing a recursive directory-deleting util to remove them :)

1src’s take on Palm’s 10-K filing

For the uninformed, a recent blurb regarding business risks in Palm’s recent 10-K filing has caused quite a stir.The statement in the filing is pretty vague actually but it’s enough to cause Palm OS fans and nay-sayers to speculate that Palm OS is doomed, that no more Palm handhelds will be produced past 2006, that Palm will come up with its own OS, etc. Now here’s 1src’s take on it.

Sidenote: Since I’m not in US and thus unfamiliar with what this filing is all about (heck, I’m not even sure if the equivelant of such a filing in my own country), I Googled it:

Detailed annual filing required by the Securities and Exchange Commission of every issuer of a registered security, every exchange-listed company, and any company with 500 or more shareholders or $1 million or more in gross assets. The 10-K is more detailed, but otherwise similar, to a firm’s annual report.
