How to pin Eclipse to the linux launcher?

First, create a .desktop file to eclipse:

gedit ~/.local/share/applications/opt_eclipse.desktop

Then, paste this inside (dont forget to edit Exec and Icon values):

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Eclipse
Comment=Eclipse Integrated Development Environment
Icon=** something like /opt/eclipse/icon.xpm **
Exec= ** something like /opt/eclipse/eclipse **
Terminal=false
Categories=Development;IDE;Java;
StartupWMClass=Eclipse


After that, open that folder with nautilus:

nautilus ~/.local/share/applications


If you want to use this launcher outside dash/launcher (ex: as a desktop launcher) you need to add execution permission by right clicking the file and choosing Properties -> Permissions -> Allow execution, or, via the command-line:

chmod +x ~/.local/share/applications/opt_eclipse.desktop

Finally drop opt_eclipse.desktop to launcher.

What exactly means MVW design pattern ?

What is a MVW framework? The abbreviation stands for 'Model - View - Whatever'.  Well there are many different JavaScript frameworks available , all invented for the same purpose. They all try to separate the presentation logic from the business logic where JavaScript holds the model and logic, and html the presentation layer. Quick overview : You can change the model without changing the view and vice-versa Unit testing is easy These are the core benefits of using such a framework. By separating presentation and business logic changes to the code are easier to implement and take less time. Another benefit is that code can be reused from a controller thus saving more time. Angularjs makes the code also shorter in comparison to other frameworks, which improves code stability. Less code means minor potential for bugs. For several years +AngularJS was closer to MVC (or rather one of its client-side variants), but over time and thanks to many refactorings...

Steps To Create Cordova Plugin

Introduction A plugin is a package of injected code that allows the Cordova webview within which the app renders to communicate with the native platform on which it runs. Plugins comprise a single JavaScript interface along with corresponding native code libraries for each supported platform. Due to following reason, we will go for plugin development To get the native capabilities of the device in the cordova based app Build the common functionality across the number of Cordova application(Reusability) Prerequisites For the creation of plugin you need to install plugman . npm install -g plugman Plugin Structure Decide Plugin ID & Name The plugin ID should be unique Plugin name should follow the convention “cordova.plugin.[your.plugin.name]” Create the structure Use the following command to create the plugin with plugin ID “cordova.plugin.test” and name “Test”. plugman create --name Test --...
