JRebel Remote Installation on a Domino Server 12.0.2 - osgi

I have a question concerning JRebel Remote Installation on a Domino Server 12.0.2
https://manuals.jrebel.com/jrebel/remoteserver/eclipse.html#eclipseremoteserver
In the beginning it looked promising, jrebel seems to be installed correctly, but after restarting the server I got some xpages/osgi initialization errors:
notes.ini
JavaOptionsFile=D:\IBM\Domino\JRebelOptionsFile.txt
JRebelOptionsFile.txt
-agentpath:D:\jrebel\lib\jrebel64.dll -Drebel.remoting_plugin=true
Any idea what's wrong? Thanks in advance
UPDATE:
I have done the same thing on a Domino Server 12.0.1 without any troubles:

This might have to do something with the modified dll loading scheme in 12.0.2 as described here:
C API OSLoadLibrary changes
On Windows, if a fully qualified path is not specified for a library to be loaded, the C API OSLoadLibrary no longer searches the path for the library.
Instead, by default, this API searches the Notes or Domino executable directory, the Windows System directory, and the Windows directory. You can use notes.ini variables of the format OSLL_<#>= to specify up to five additional locations to search. For example:
OSLL_3="d:\Application\Libraries".
You could try to add the dll path of JRebel to Domino using the notes.ini variable OSLL_1 as described in a similar issue regarding ScanMail for Domino here.

Visual studio complains about spatial types

I have these CLR types installed on my local https://puu.sh/yEWG5/b4f77fba7b.png
Also, I have SQL server 2016 installed on my local system but when I try to run the project I get error as below

Can someone help? I tried installing latest nugget package from https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.SqlServer.Types/ but it did not help.
Though I am able to add a column of type geography in a table in my local database. It fails at runtime when I run my project and error comes as below
https://puu.sh/yEWQm/78a4220830.png
According to the docs if you have installed the CLR Types it should load from the GAC so I'm not sure why that didn't work for you. (I would check that you have the correct version as your dependency)
However, we do use the SQLServerTypes in our app without installing the CLR types by using the following method (this method is described in the readme.htm that comes with SqlServerTypes).
Grab the SqlServerTypes.nupkg and extract it to a folder lets call this folder SST from now on.
(Locations of the files I talk about in the following steps may differ from version to version but, the principle is the same)
Create a SqlServerTypes folder in your project
Copy the SST/nativebinaries/x86 and x64 folders into your new SqlServerTypes folder
Also copy the files from SST/content (you should see Loader.cs and readme.htm) into the SqlServerTypes folder.
Now all you need to do is call the Loader when your app boots up.
We do this during our autofac setup by making this call.
Utilities.LoadNativeAssemblies(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory)
You may need to adjust the param passed into this method to work with your application. If the correct path is used you should have access to the spatial types in your code.
edit: It may be possible to just call the LoadNativeAssemblies straight away (and avoid all the work I posted above) if you have installed the nuget package in your app but, I have not tested this as we are stuck on an old version of SqlServerTypes.
Because i cannot put a comment i have to put a answer, you can check that, that article and this, this, this and this answers, i hope they guide you to someting usefull.

i am getting error when i try to create web service client in Spring STS

i am getting this error when try to create new web service client.
IWAB0503E Unable to update Java build path. Please check your system environment.
Some web searching uncovered that what this error really means is “The Web Services generation tool detected multiple versions of the javax.xml.soap plug-in installed. Resolve this error by removing the conflicting plug-in.”
Sure enough, when I checked in Eclipse there were two versions.
WebService
I encountered two speed bumps when testing this theory:
There’s no easy way to uninstall a plug-in within the Eclipse UI, so I had to resort to removing the directory from eclipse\plugins directly from Windows Explorer.
Which version should I remove? It took me two tries to figure out which version was causing the error. Turns out that newer is not always better…in this case 1.3 was at fault and 1.2 (javax.xml.soap_1.2.0.v200905122109) was the version to keep.
This is old but, in my case the details of the error were:
IWAB0503E Unable to update Java build path. Please check your system environment.
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /lib/saaj.jar
So \lib\saaj.jar was not found in folder
C:\sts-4.8.0\sts-4.8.0.RELEASE\plugins\javax.xml.soap_1.3.0.v201105210645\
I created the folder lib and copied saaj.jar in it from another STS instance that I had and then it worked.

Running Pdfclown on the web

Does anyone know the command or the way to run pdfclown on java servlet? There's pdfclown.samples.web folder included in the library but the readme says nothing about how to run the server.
You have to setup a local Tomcat server and plug it to pdfclown.samples.web within eclipse (please, see among the countless trillions of tutorials available on the Web ;-) ).
BTW, you are right that the README doesn't mention the webserver setup: I'll remedy in the next release.

Netbeans javafx mac bundle without JRE

I am having a hard time trying to build my javafx app into .app (for mac).
I found a legit way to do that, here is resource for that:
http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/deployment/deploy_quick_start.htm
However, it is far from what I'm looking for. By following that tutorial, I managed to build an app from my javafx project, however the size of file was just ridiculous and it is because the whole JRE is being bundled inside. I am now looking for a way to deploy .app file with dependencies (it's important) ONLY and without JRE. (JRE should be pre-installed by user). Is there a way to do that? I really tried to find one, but faild. Hope you, guys, help me.
Instructions for packaging a JavaFX application as a native installable app without including a JRE:
JavaFX packaging tools update - Self-Contained Applications: Create Package without Java Runtime.
The tools used are the same as from the deployment quick start you mention in your question. You just set the fx:platform basedir="".
I'll just quote the article here:
This may sound a bit puzzling at first glance. Package without embedded Java Runtime is not really self-contained and obviously will not help with:
Deployment on fresh systems. JRE need to be installed separately (and this step will require admin permissions).
Possible compatibility issues due to updates of system runtime.
However, these packages are much much smaller in size. If download size matters and you are confident that user have recommended system JRE installed then this may be good option to consider if you want to improve user experience for install and launch.
Technically, this is implemented as an extension of previous feature. Pass empty string as value for 'basedir' attribute and this will be treated as request to not bundle Java runtime, e.g.
<fx:platform basedir=""/>

LicenseException for SectionReports, ActiveReports 7.0.6158.0

In an MVC app I am working on, we've recently began using ActiveReports 7 for our report-generating needs. On my local machine, everything works great. However, when we deploy to our Dev server for team-level testing, we get a LicenseException:
License for the SectionReport cannot be found.
We followed the user guide here to attempt different ways to resolve the problem.
What we have done:
Ensured that the licenses.licx file references the assemblies, and that the correct ActiveReports 7 assemblies are being built with and referenced by our project. As it stands, the licenses.licx file looks like this (sans the line-breaks):
GrapeCity.ActiveReports.SectionReport, GrapeCity.ActiveReports.v7, Version=7.0.6158.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc4967777c49a3ff
GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.Section.PdfExport, GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.v7, Version=7.0.6158.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc4967777c49a3ff
As this is a MVC web project, used the Assembly License Generator that comes with AR7 to create an [Assembly].Web.License.dll library, which we are building with the project in a /lib/ directory at the solution-level. This change had no effect on the License exception.
Used the Web Key Generator to create a key for the App.config file. This change had no effect on the License exception.
What we have not done:
Created some web form, and created an App_License.dll library that gets built with our project. The reason we did not do this is we are not using Web controls for our reports, we are not even using the GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Web assembly, and the error is not coming from any class in that library (which is logical, seeing how we're not using it.)
The only notable detail of all of this is that modifying the licenses.licx file had an early effect as we had a similar license exception on another component; ensuring that licenses.licx had the proper details ensured that that other component was no longer throwing LicenseExceptions in our app. I tentatively think from this that maybe my licenses.licx file still lacks something needed to make this app work.
The only thing remaining I can think to do is to recommend our lead license our server as a developer, but this possibility has already come up, and the direction we've been asked to take is to avoid that route if at all possible. I think it is possible because I have encountered similar posts involving people who followed the steps in the user guide above and presumably were able to solve the issue. Yet, for my team, these steps aren't working.
Question: What am I missing?
Using the Assembly License Generator as you have done should do the trick. Also, make sure that you are using the latest version of AR7 as according to this post on the ActiveReports 7 Support Forums, there was a fix done to some later version of ActiveReports 7 to correct some problem with licensing in this scenario. Specifically the steps given from the previously cited post said that following the below steps with the updated version corrected someone else's problem:
Run the program "ApplicationLicenseGenerator.exe" (as Administrator) from a location similar to "C:\Program Files\Common Files\ComponentOne\ActiveReports Developer 7\"ApplicationLicenseGenerator.exe"
Browse to the compiled ActiveReports DLL.
Press the "Generate" Button.
This generates a satellite assembly similar to yourclasslibraryname.dll.GrapeCity.Licenses.dll
Place the DLL in the bin folder of your web project and/or reference the generated DLL in your web service project.
Answer: for non-licensed users, [Assembly].GrapeCity.License.dll must be added to the web project as a reference!
Licenses.licx matters from a build perspective, though. But the license file was not missing anything.
