How to modify the Netbeans Application Configuration? - maven

I have a Maven Netbeans Application I want to modify its configuration. What do I need to do to change startup parameters from the conf file like: default_options?
I have to manually do it but would like to make it part of the build process.

You will have to create a netbeans.conf file in your nbm-application project and point the nbm-maven-plugin to it's location - please see http://mojo.codehaus.org/nbm-maven/nbm-maven-plugin/cluster-app-mojo.html#etcConfFile

Create your own ProjectName.conf, for example from default ProjectName.conf file.
Next place it in nbproject folder.
And add to project.conf line like this:
app.conf=nbproject/ProjectName.conf

How is this timestamp file generated from maven build?

I was working on a maven project and this project is generating some weird file.
The file name are like:
[PROJECT]/target/classes.531226305.timestamp
[PROJECT]/target/classes.1241815416.timestamp
[PROJECT]/target/test-classes.-1983166104.timestamp
And the content of the file are only a .(dot) inside it. Anyone has any idea of how this is generated? Thanks!
Does the project use the scala-maven-plugin? The scala-maven-plugin adds ".<hashcode>.timestamp" to files in the target directory. It's used for the incremental compile feature that is available for that plugin.

Spring boot external properties not working

My project structure looks like as attached file. Even though I have profile specific properties, I would like to run my app with external properties file i.e., outside of jar file.
I tried with following command:
java -jar test_service.jar --spring.config.location=file:///C:/external_props/test.properties
But its taking application-default.properties file.
from log file:
No active profile set, falling back to default profiles: default
Why it is not taking external properties file ?
When you pass --spring.config.location command line argument SpringBoot won't consider application-*.properties files in src/main/resources directory. The filename you mentioned for --spring.config.location is taken as base filename, in your case test. So, it will only load test.properties file from that path you provided as default profile.
If you want to enable certain profile, say prod, you need to create file C:/external_props/application-prod.properties and enable prod profile using --spring.profiles.active=prod.
Spring will automatically look for some property file in a specific location.
From where you execute the jar file, Spring will look in that directory for a property file called application.properties
An other way is to put a config directory in the directory you execute the jar from and put the application properties in there.
There is one more option and that is the -Dspring.profiles.active={profiles} parameter.
Spring will then look in the directory or config directory to application-{profile}.properties
Reference:
https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/boot-features-external-config.html
Also i think you use the
--spring.config.location=file:///C:/external_props/test.properties
is not used correctly for a windows based file path.
Windows uses the \ instead of the /.

How to externalize i18n properties files in spring-boot applications

I’ve succeed to externalize my spring-boot configuration file (application.properties) in a config folder when I run my spring-boot application as a unix service with the help of the official spring documentation https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/boot-features-external-config.html
I have also some i18n messages.properties files in my src/main/resources that I would like to externalize in the same config folder but I failed to do it. I’ve tried a lot of things, like playing with spring.messages.basename but unfortunately, it doesn’t work.
I’m using the latest version of spring-boot, and use auto configure mode with the default i18n properties name messages.
What am I missing??? thanks for your help.
Just a few notes:
classpath:message - will always lookup embeded message_xxx files
classpath:/message and classpath:message are equivalent
file:message - will lookup jar's external current directory e.g. ./message_en.properties <- this is what you want
file:/message - you have to put your message files to root "/" to make it work
use notation file:config/message if you need to put in config folder together with your
./config/application.properties
I think you need a leading slash.
Try: spring.messages.basename=classpath:/config/messages
I think, resource bundle is default to classpath. So there's no need to append it. just go straight to your folder location from classpath.
Try this: **assuming your config is inside static folder
spring.messages.basename=static/config/messages

How to configure relative datasource file for SQLite?

I'm trying to configure a SQLite database for an Spring Web App. The thing is that I'm not able to reach the database file that I've created in src/main/resources using a relative path.
I've tried several configurations for the jdbc url but none of them worked:
jdbc:sqlite:mydb.sqlite (here I changed the file location to the project root)
jdbc:sqlite:${jdbc.url} (here I passed the url as a parameter thru PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer)
jdbc:sqlite:src/main/resources/mydb.sqlite
A weird thing that I realized about is that the app is using Eclipse's directory as the directory to find the database file. I mean, when I put jdbc:sqlite:mydb.sqlite it creates an mydb.sqlite on Eclipse's directory not in project's root.
Check the JVM system property named "user.dir" and set the path relative to it. It is the "current dir" of your java app. It can be different if you run from eclipse or from cmd line or inside webserver(tomcat).
So, System.getPropery("user.dir") will tell you current dir of your running app. Set the path to db relative to that directory.
I would say eclipse does not run your app from the project dir, as it should by default. Check your "run" settings in the eclipse.

Could not find fetcher.properties on classpath

I am working to implement RSS feed using the spring integration as mentioned in the article http://comdynamics.net/blog/295/spring-integration-rss-feed-reader/. However, when I run the application I am getting the following error:
Could not find fetcher.properties on classpath
Can you point me in the right direction?
Can you verify that you have the folder that contains this property file in the classpath of the project? You would have to look at .classpath file to verify this.
Ideally you would want to keep this file in a config folder and must be added to the classpath just like your source folder.
create an empty file named fetcher.properties on classpath. You don't have to add any entry to it.That will solve the problem
