It has been a while since I used SpringSource Tool Suite. This has been a terrible mistake on my side as I was forced to use other IDEs. As I was finally giving a choice to re-start using it, I came across an issue that I thought will write about. I'm sure most people already know about this: XSD (for the Spring beans) are no longer included in the distribution. This means that if you are using STS from version 2.7.0 and above, you have to include the proper jar (including the XSD inside the jar) into the classpath. I think this is a good move on SpringSource as I can see why it would make sense for the IDE to help you resolve based on your classpath (i.e. what you are building).

Oracle JDBC Logging
During a database upgrade (oracle 10g to 11g) I had to debug a series of JDBC calls. I suspected a performance bottleneck in a database query and decided to look for the offending SQL statement. This is when I started to find how much information there is about JDBC logging. Most places I researched pointed me to p6spy, a nice tool which according to the documentation "intercepts and optionally modifies database statements". This was helpful to determine that the bottleneck was not a SQL statement from our application, but instead a library (open source) which needed metadata information.

Useful Closures use-cases in Flex
As flex is based on Actionscripts 3, it is possible to leverage some of the features of an ECMA-based language not readily available in strongly-typed languages. Most Java developers will probably ignore the ability to use powerful features such as closures when the use-case simply makes sense. Consider the following:
