I finally committed my libusb patch to gok. Horay! (Well, I shouldn’t celbrate too much, it did take a while )

Ok, so here are the nitty gritty details: GOK now has a command line option, ‘–with-libusb-input=VID:PID’, which allows you to specify an input device VID/PID pair you would like to use with GOK. This device will be detached from the kernel input driver when GOK starts and will be used exclusively for the GOK pointer. This feature needs a bit of love to make things work more automatically but in the mean time you can find device configuration infromation in README.libusb. This feature currently only works with GNU/Linux. Also, to use the patch, you’ll need to compile GOK with ‘–enable-libusb-input’. If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a line.

I finally got around to cleaning up the Java-GNOME plugin that Andrew Overholt and I worked on before we went to GUADEC in May. It’s a very simple plugin - all it gives you is a wizard for Java-GNOME projects but it may be useful for people who don’t want to fiddle with Eclipse too much and just want to start coding up some killer Java-GNOME project

To install the plugin, just unzip it into your eclipse installation directory. Unfortunately Eclipse does not provide a proper method for developers to release source tarballs or zips. So if you want to check out the source, you’ll have to grab it from my svn repo.

Props goes out to Dan Pilone for originally writing the plugin.

I’m starting to tie up some loose ends from before the summer. I just finished updating efj to use the latest eclipse (3.1.0) and I marked up the README so that people don’t have to download the tarball to get the deets. This is probably the last time I’ll update efj.
