Using toUpperCase with Correct Locale

I'm trying to fix errors which are reported by forbiddenapis. I had that line:
paramMap.put(Config.TITLEBOOST.toUpperCase(), titleBoost);
So, its been reported as error as usual. I've tried that:
paramMap.put(Config.TITLEBOOST.toUpperCase(Locale.getDefault()), titleBoost);
and that:
paramMap.put(Config.TITLEBOOST.toUpperCase(Locale.ROOT), titleBoost);
also that:
paramMap.put(Config.TITLEBOOST.toUpperCase(Locale.ENGLISH), titleBoost);
However none of them fixed the error:
[forbiddenapis] Forbidden method invocation:
java.lang.String#toUpperCase() [Uses default locale]
What I miss?

Double-check that the bytecode you are analyzing is actually your most recent build output, and that you're looking at the same line forbiddenapis is :) . This looks to me like your source/bytecode/analysis are falling out of sync — the relevant rule shouldn't flag an error on String.toUpperCase(Locale).
Disclaimer: I haven't used forbiddenapis myself --- I wrote this answer based on the repo and on a blog post I found.

apache PIG with datafu: Cannot resolve UDF's

I'm trying the quickstart from here: http://datafu.incubator.apache.org/docs/datafu/getting-started.html
I tried nearly everything, but I'm sure it must be my fault somewhere. I tried already:
exporting PIG_HOME, CLASSPATH, PIG_CLASSPATH
starting pig with -cpdatafu-pig-incubating-1.3.0.jar
registering datafu-pig-incubating-1.3.0.jar locally and in hdfs => both succesful (at least no error shown)
nothing helped
Trying this on pig:
register datafu-pig-incubating-1.3.0.jar
DEFINE Median datafu.pig.stats.StreamingMedian();
data = load '/user/hduser/numbers.txt' using PigStorage() as (val:int);
data2 = FOREACH (GROUP data ALL) GENERATE Median(data);
or directly
data2 = FOREACH (GROUP data ALL) GENERATE datafu.pig.stats.StreamingMedian(data);
I get this name-resolve error:
2016-06-04 17:22:22,734 [main] ERROR org.apache.pig.tools.grunt.Grunt
- ERROR 1070: Could not resolve datafu.pig.stats.StreamingMedian using imports: [, java.lang., org.apache.pig.builtin.,
org.apache.pig.impl.builtin.] Details at logfile:
/home/hadoop/pig_1465053680252.log
When I look into the datafu-pig-incubating-1.3.0.jar it looks OK, everything in place. I also tried some Bag functions, same error then.
I think it's kind of a noob-error which I just don't see (as I did not find particular answers for datafu in SO or google), so thanks in advance for shedding some light on this.

Pig script is proper, the only thing that could break is that while registering datafu there were some class dependencies that coudn't been met.
Try to run locally (pig -x local) and see a detailed log.
Check also the version of pig - it should be newer than 0.14.0.

Run an ABCL code that uses cl-cppre

With reference to my previous question,
Executing a lisp function from Java
I was able to call lisp code from Java using ABCL.
But the problem is, the already existing lisp code uses CL-PPCRE package.
I can not compile the code as it says 'CL-PPCRE not found'.
I have tried different approaches to add that package,
including
1) how does one compile a clisp program which uses cl-ppcre?
2)https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/cl-ppcre/juSfOhEDa1k
Doesnot work!
Other thing is, that executing (compile-file aima.asd) works perfectly fine although it does also require cl-pprce
(defpackage #:aima-asd
(:use :cl :asdf))
(in-package :aima-asd)
(defsystem aima
:name "aima"
:version "0.1"
:components ((:file "defpackage")
(:file "main" :depends-on ("defpackage")))
:depends-on (:cl-ppcre))
The final java code is
interpreter.eval("(load \"aima/asdf.lisp\")");
interpreter.eval("(compile-file \"aima/aima.asd\")");
interpreter.eval("(compile-file \"aima/defpackage.lisp\")");
interpreter.eval("(in-package :aima)");
interpreter.eval("(load \"aima/aima.lisp\")");
interpreter.eval("(aima-load 'all)");
The error message is
Error loading C:/Users/Administrator.NUIG-1Z7HN12/workspace/aima/probability/domains/edit-nets.lisp at line 376 (offset 16389)
#<THREAD "main" {3A188AF2}>: Debugger invoked on condition of type READER-ERROR
The package "CL-PPCRE" can't be found.
[1] AIMA(1):
Can anyone help me?

You need to load cl-ppcre before you can use it. You can do that by using (asdf:load-system :aima), provided that you put both aima and cl-ppcre into locations that your ASDF searches.

I used QuickLisp to add cl-ppcre (because nothing else worked for me).
Here is what I did
(load \"~/QuickLisp.lisp\")")
(quicklisp-quickstart:install)
(load "~/quicklisp/setup.lisp")
(ql:quickload :cl-ppcre)
First 2 lines are only a one time things. Once quickLisp is installed you can start from line 3.

No Such method error during transformation to pdf in Java

Please let me know what could be the problem.

As described in the documentation
Thrown if an application tries to call a specified method of a class (either static or instance), and that class no longer has a definition of that method.
Here's how this can happen. Imagine you built some code that used a library with a method called foo(). You compiled your project and then later decided to upgrade the library. You do this by overwriting the old jar file with the new one. You don't recompile your code.
But what you didn't know is the new library removed the foo() method. Now if you run your code, it will throw this exception because your compile code calls this method and it's no longer there.
In your specific case, this isn't necessarily your code with the problem. It could be that you have one library that uses another library and the problem is there (for example, Library X uses version 2 of Library Y, but you only have Library Y version 1 in your classpath). If this is happening, you need to make sure the libraries are using the version they expect.
For your specific problem, you need to find the version of the jar that has org.apache.xmlgraphics.java2d.GraphicContext in it and it needs to have a constructor that takes a... list of org/apache/xmlgraphics/java2d/GraphicContext... maybe. I forget what (L...;)V means.

Mysterious ANTLR error

All I know is that it's stopping antlr from generating, I apologize. Here's the log file:
(10): internal error: /Bridge/bridge.g : java.lang.IllegalStateException: java.lang.NullPointerException

org.antlr.Tool.getRootGrammar(Tool.java:626) org.antlr.Tool.process(Tool.java:459)
org.deved.antlride.runtime.Tool2.main(Tool2.java:24)

I got the same error with a simple grammar for logical formulas. For me the problem was, that ANTLR could not find an obvious start rule because I had a recursion on my intended start rule. Adding a new rule pointing to the recursive one did the job (see http://thesoftwarelife.blogspot.com/2008/07/antlr-frustrations.html).
It's a pity that ANTLR IDE does not correctly forward the error message. On the command line i get:
warning(138): Formula.g:0:1: grammar Formula: no start rule (no rule can obviously be followed by EOF)

I had the same problem yesterday. Not sure if my case is identical to yours but it worth a try. I had a rule named annotation like this:
annotation
: AT class declaration?
-> ^(ANNOTATION class declaration?)
;
And I wanted to parse sub annotations in curly braces so I did:
subAnnotation:
: CURLY_START annotation CURLY_END
-> ^(ANNOTATION annotation)
;
This was given me the same error has yours. So, I end up wondering with it is not working. Even if I'm unsure, I think the problem is the recursion of the annotation rule that was causing the error. So, I ended up doing this:
annotationValue:
: CURLY_START subAnnotation CURLY_END
-> ^(ANNOTATION subAnnotation)
;
subAnnotation
: AT class declaration?
-> ^(ANNOTATION class declaration?)
;
This resolved my problem. Like I said, I don't know if this fix can be applied to your problem. Moreover, I thought that ANTLR was able to deal with non-left-recursive rule. Maybe someone with a better knowledge of the tool could confirm it.
I must admit I did not try the suggestion of #BartKiers, maybe it would also solve the problem.

Matt
