Question Setting icon with javaFX does not show in task list
I try to set an icon (.png) with javaFX, but it does not show in the task bar, instead I see the default icon (white cogwheel on light gray background). Here is my code: ``` package application; import java.io.File; import java.io.FileInputStream; import java.io.FileNotFoundException; ...

Question Java: ignore warnings from generated code
Again, I'm playing around with `javaCC`, and get those annoying warnings about "unused" and "dead code". Is there a decent way to put a `@SuppressWarnings` annotation on a whole package but not on the whole project or workspace?

Question eclipse: change toString to prettyPrint
The task looks ridiculously simple, but I could not find a way of doing it but manually. I have a class with a `@Override ... toString()` method. I want to diversify this to a more specialized method that takes parameters to specify what should show up. Eclipse failed to simply rename ...

Question eclipse templates -- creating and setting a permanent variable
In eclipse (java) Window->Preferences->Java->New new templates can be created. In the field "Pattern" I entered ``` System.out.println("DEBUG ${label}"); ${cursor} ``` I like old-style debugging, so I use a lot statements like `System.out.println("DEBUG A");` ... `System.out.println("...

Question java.time.ZonedDateTime missing seconds in output
When printing a `java.time.ZonedDateTime`, it's missing the seconds in output, is it a bug or a feature? See my code: ```java package tryNcry; import java.time.Instant; import java.time.ZoneId; import java.time.ZonedDateTime; public class TestOfTime { public static void main(St...

Comment Post #294826 The solution with varargs looks interesting, I wasn't thinking of that. I had thought of the first alternative, but passing an instance instead of a class-object. As you mentioned, it looks like there is no straightforward solution. And, if the java dev-team would drop the erasure, there woul...

Question Java generics, how to work around type erasure?
This code doesn't compile: ```java package tryNcry; public class ExampleClass { S[] createArray(int n) { return new S[n]; // obvious compile time ERROR here: // Cannot create a generic array of S } } ``` The reason for this is obvious: due t...

Comment Post #294729 "When you give code a type, you are typing the variable, not the value." OK, looks like this is the main clue I was missing. So (Huge question mark here) the *variable* expects a *value* `Function<?, ?>` which is *broader* than the lambda expression given. The compiler has to make sure th...

Question Trouble understanding java lambdas and generics
Of course, everyone thinks to understand lambdas and generics. I was one of those until recently. Look at my code: ```java package debug; import java.util.function.Function; public class UnderstandingGenerix { public static void main(String[] args) { { Function code = (S...
