Replace backslash character to slash in a String with JAVA

by admin on Aug.20, 2009, under General

Today I had a small problem with java, and I leave here my solution to help others who are in the same situation.

Here I give you a small trick to replace backslash special caracter to another caracter in Java. If you are doing some project, and you need to replace a backslash “\” with the forward slash “/”, you will notice you can´t do this in the normal way.

Let´s see “the normal way”:

String address = "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6"
address = address.replace("\" , "/"):

you will have a error.

try this….

String address = "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6"
String backslash= System.getProperty("file.separator") ;
address= address.replace(backslash,"/");
System.out.println(address);

OUTPUT:

C:/Program Files/Java/jre6

;)

inputPath = inputPath.replace(barra,”/”);
System.out.println(inputPath)

First Time with GWT

by admin on Feb.03, 2009, under Research and Development

This tutorial introduces you to GWT. You can do develop GWT apps without any IDE, but it is really helpful if you use one. I choose Eclipse with Cypal Studio for GWT (which was earlier known as Googlipse) to walk thru this tutorial.

Requirements:

  • You need the latest GWT. You can download it at here. Make sure you download the latest version.
  • Download and install Eclipse 3.4 with WTP 2.0. You can get it here.
  • You need a Java 1.5 VM to run Eclipse. You can get it here.
  • Download Cypal Studio for GWT from here and extract it to your eclipse directory.
