I know that Community ediition doesn't support certain features of Ultimate but I want to know that there is NO way to make these features to run in anyway. For example, the Enterprise development (e.g. Tomcat, Glassfish, Oracle, etc.) or Web development (e.g. Spring, HTML5, etc. ). So, if I have to run these kind of development somehow can I succeed in doing these things only with the Community edition or I am locked and not able to do such things. Say, I don't have the luxury to go to Ultimate for some reason.
If you are a cheapskate use the EAP from Jetbrain's Confluence page.
The early access might have bugs - but it's free, has all the features of the Ultimate edition, and then some.
You may use IDEA Community Edition for editing the code, you just won't get any features specific to the servers you're using, e.g. run configurations. You'll have to launch your application using the command line. You'll be able to use Artifacts feature to build all the jars you need.
You won't get any Spring-specific code completion or code inspections, but you'll get a decent XML editor for its configuration files. You'll get some basic HTML editing features, but no JavaScript.
There's no way to get those features out of IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition source, they just aren't there.
BTW if you use Ultimate EAP as NimChimpsky suggests, and report plenty of bugs, the developers might be grateful for them and give you a free license in return at the moment of the release (around December).

I'd like to install a Java application as a Windows service. I did so successfully a couple of years ago using this Java Service wrapper. Unfortunately, it seems like this tool is not in development anymore and thus no Windows 7 and 64 bit versions are available. I need to install my Java application on Windows 7 and XP machines.
Does anyone know a good alternative?
Edit: I need this for commercial use; the suggested Java Service Wrapper from Tanuki is too expensive.
Some time ago I used the tanuki project and we were very happy with it. I believe is one of the most popular ones.
There is also YAJSW that is based on tanuki (as I understand ) with a LGPL licence
I'm now using WinRun4J - a really nice, lean tool that is easy to configure and handle and usable in commercial applications. Many thanks to assylias, whose comment pointed my in the right direction.
I have used Tanuki's Java Service Wrapper with great success; it's easy to use.
There are community packages (free) and professional packages (license).
AlwaysUp is a commercial alternative that supports Windows 7 and XP. This step-by-step tutorial shows you how to setup a java application as a service.
I have recently used Java Service Wrapper from Tanukisoftware and it works perfectly on windows 7. Also the tool is pretty handy as it provides pretty extensive integration mechanism from simple jar execution to shutdown hook functionality as well.
For normal use, you can use their Community License which falls under GPL v2.0, however keep in mind if your intended use is on server, you might have to double check licensing options.
Also windows resource kit includes a tool called servany.exe which i successfully used on Windows Xp to start a jar file as a service by lanuching java.exe with arguments to my jar file, however since windows 7 this somehow does not work.
You might want to do a little research since i have read some forums about people still affirming that it works.

Its being a almost 2 months since is started to work with JEE6 and JSF 2.0.
I have to say that in this time i learned lots of things and every day i like the world of JEE6 more and more :)
Now that i understand the very basics the components that i use in my JSF pages, i would like to find some gadget that can help me speed up a little bit my programming(Currently i write all my pages in Eclipse Helios HTML editor).
What i am thinking about is a component palette, plugin for eclipse or desktop software (I dont need a brand new IDE, i already use eclipse Helios) that can help me create a JSF pages within minutes.
Back in college when i started using swing i discovered JFormDesigner it was a really great tool, i was able to create very rich GUI within minutes, it was really easy to use an very intuitive for learning.
I am wondering if is there any tool like that out there, but just for JSF 2.0.
Any suggestions?
You can try and use JBoss Tools.
I used to have all sorts of visual functionality with it - although, some times I tended to do things by hand as it was quicker.
You have the option to install the plugin or simply pay for the IDE: as you probably know, the difference is that buying the IDE you get support from JBoss. Using the open-source version you are getting a version with probable bugs, but workable.
I've been using the open-source version for almost 4 years now and love it.
Good luck!
Inside Netbeans, there is a Palette menu that allow you to create dataTable, edit form ... for entity object in one click. This become very handy for me. Oracle have JDeveloper which, imho, is very awesome. It allow you to create a simple CRUD Java EE web app without even writing a single line of codes. There is a demo on how to use JDeveloper here. Dont forget tool like DreamWeaver can allow you to create rich layout very quickly as well.

Any recommendation on which Java open source helpdesk system i should use ?
i need these criteria
- come with dynamic approval level support for certain request (workflow)
Some of the java basec Open source helpdesk system are
itracker
Java based open source help desk application with an emphasis on modularity. It's also provides i18n support.
JTrac
A Java based open source issue tracking system.
If you want create your own Help desk management system then u can look at Jboss JBPM frame work I have worked on it and done a simple work flow management system using JBPM
Hope this helps !
This is made in ROR but can be deployed in Java with JRuby : www.redmine.org. It's the best free project management/tracking tool I know in my opinion.
I'm not sure, but this may be helpful:
http://www.sugarcrm.com/crm/
They have a comnunity open source edition.
You can find additional software here, some of them are in java:

I've been digging through Stack Overflow as well as a number of Google searches, and I cannot find a satisfactory code formatter for JavaScript.
I have found several related tools, such as syntax highlighters and pretty-printers, but I am looking for a tool that I can ideally create a wrapper for in Eclipse and simply run from the menu bar. Hence, if any Java-based ones are available, that is a big plus. Free and/or open-source is preferred as well.
I am looking for something that my development group can use to maintain a consistent code style.
Edit: Thanks to kRON for linking to the format customizations page.
Edit: Related question on Stack Overflow.
This is by far the best I've come across: http://jsbeautifier.org/
Available as an online tool, or on the command-line using node.js or python.
The source code is available.
In one breath: Aptana Studio! Yes, it's Java based and free (Eclipse, as standalone or plugin).
You can also customize the formatting.
If you already use Eclipse, I recommend you to try Aptana, you can install it as an Eclipse Plugin.
For Eclipse IDE you can use JavaScript Code Formatter based on Goolge's Style Guide
For IntelliJ IDEA you can use the same js code formatter xml file , but previously you have to install a special plugin Eclipse Code Formatter Plugin, which solves the problem of maintaining a common code style in team environments where both IDEA and Eclipse are used
If you also need Java programming I can recommend 'IntelliJ IDEA'
It offers excellent JavaScript formatting and refactoring out of the box.
Have you tried jsfiddler. It's great for trying things out with Javascript. Built in JSLint & something called Tidy. Not sure whether that infers jstidy Piotr Zalewa is the guy who wrote it. May be worth giving him a Tweet #zalun to confirm.
If you are using notepad++, you can try jsminnpp plugin

What is the best open source java workflow framework (e.g. OSWorkflow, jBPM, XFlow etc.)?
Here's an article that compares kBPM, OpenWFE, and Enhydra Shark that looks like it has some good, thorough info.
It depends what kind of initial investment you want to make. jBPM is the best in terms of features and flexibility, but OSWorkflow is a more lightweight, easier to get up and running and has with a smaller learning curve.
Drools Flow is the best workflow solution that I came across recently. It has a luxury to be better than other solutions, since it is built and designed recently, and based on lessons learned from other long existing, somewhat over engineered frameworks.
Drools Flow comes as a community project along with an official Drools 5 release that besides Flow includes: Guvnor, Expert and Fusion.
Unfortunately Drools Flow does not have an official Red Hat support contract yet, and that is a stopper for some big corporations to consider it. One might think the support is not there for political reasons due to the jBPM project living under same support roof.
I'll cast a vote for jBPM. We used it on a larg-ish ETL platform in-house and it seemed to work quite well. I don't have anything to compare it to, however.
