sola Ep. 11

Tuesday, June 19th, 2007

Alright, so nothing much happened in this episode. Now I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little disappointed by this, so there you have it, I was a little disappointed by this. This really goes back to the question I raised after viewing the last episode of just what exactly are they going to be talking about in the last three episodes of the series? I’m going to guess that the series will probably reach its conclusion around the beginning of episode thirteen and then the rest of the episode will just show what the surviving characters are doing (this of course assumes that some person or persons have actually died).

So will anyone actually die? Is this really the end of Mayuko and Takeshi’s role in this show? Personally, I don’t think that we’ve seen the last of them. It’s obvious that Mayuko is concerned about Matsuri, so she may have a second thought and try to come back and stop her. I don’t know what Yorito’s going to be doing, but I hope he does something besides dying (or disappearing or whatever). After all, he really hasn’t done anything of importance throughout the series if you ask me.

With episode twelve, I just might get what I wanted out of episode nine if Aono and Matsuri’s going to go at it. I’m not sure as to what Matsuri is up to carrying that sword around though. My own theory would be that she’s going to somehow get Aono to kill her with the sword. I don’t know how the whole reverting process for yakas is going to play out and all, but that’s just a minor detail per se. So anyway, if Aono returns to normal, will Yorito cease to exist? Is that how Matsuri and Yorito are planning to both leave this world? How does that bring happiness to Aono? I don’t know. Disregarding all that, I really do hope that there’s an awesome fight in the next episode, the music that was being played at the end of this episode was simply amazing. I hope all that build up isn’t going to be for naught.

Contextual launches with Eclipse’s Debug APIs…

Tuesday, June 19th, 2007

Ever wanted to add something to that ‘Run As’ context menu? Yeah, I had to today, and it wasn’t pretty. Let me tell you, that org.eclipse.core.expressions.propertyTesters ain’t no fun. It makes no sense and it just didn’t work out for me.

So instead I just ended up contributing my own content types with the org.eclipse.core.runtime.contentTypes extension point and then hooking that into the contextualLaunch element of the org.eclipse.debug.ui.launchShortcuts extension point. Just take a look at the plugin.xml files of the org.eclipse.ant.core and org.eclipse.ant.ui plug-ins and I guarantee that you’ll be good to go.

I’d paste some of that XML stuff, but it seems that WordPress for some reasons doesn’t want to render tags properly regardless of whether I put them in a code, a tt, or a pre block.
