Welcome to this Blog. I am Software Engineer and work for Zühlke Engineering AG in Bern. This is my private blog, in which I will post mainly about technical stuff like Software Engineering or IT related topics.

In Eclipse, there is a nice feature to clean up Java code. First, you can change the Clean Up profile (Window – Preferences) and define, how you want the code should look like.

There are interesting clean ups like “Remove unnecessary casts” or to add missing Annotations like “@Override”.

After creating your profile, simply right click to the project and choose Source – Clean up.

Nice feature. If you want to know more about this feature, you will find here more information’s.

The standard way to read out the battery life on a Windows Mobile smartphone is a small icon on the top, which has 3 indicators to show, how the battery life is:

This is not really a helpful information. Today, I found a small, simple but incredible program (open source), which is the best battery program I’ve seen so far. It’s called Batti and it’s hosted on Google (http://code.google.com/p/batti/).

 

This program adds a 2-3 pixel deep line at the top. The line is coloured and has a gradient. With this line, I see know always, how many battery I’ve left. This is just nice.

There are many UML tools out there. But if I want to draw just a simple UML 2.0 diagram without having a heavy model as background, I use Visio. Why? Because it’s just simple.

Unfortunately, the built in UML templates are not quite good. But fortunately, you can download UML 2.0 stencils for Visio from the internet. These stencil are perfectly UML 2.0 conform and helps to draw simple UML diagrams.

I have some blogs, where I only read blog entries, if their headline contains some specific words. Today, I found a nice and really easy tool called Feed Sifter. This tool filters RSS feeds, which you can subscribe on.
