A little while ago I was helping a colleague of mine to subscribe to the planetgeek.ch syndication feed with microsoft outlook. I personally use rss bandit because I think this is a really nice and small application. But nevertheless I thought with outlook I should be as easy as it is currently with rss bandit.

But see what happens if you try to subscribe to our syndication feed:

I’m often hearing thoughts about Test Driven Development from people not using it, which are not true (at least not 100%).

Therefore, I want to describe some of these myths here:

• Writing unit tests is difficult and complex
• Projects take longer because of the additional test code that has to be written
• Not everything can be tested with unit tests. Therefore TDD cannot be used.
• There is no need for architecture and design because TDD claims to evolve that from tests

Today I stumbled upon the problem eclipse did not find some classes with the code completition or [Ctrl-Shift-T]. If you write the class name in the code everything looks ok. I tried to clean my workspaces with rebuild etc. did not work.

But there is hope: After deleting all content in .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.core eclipse re-indexes the workspace again and everything is ok. I guess -clean as startup parameter would work likewise but I can’t verify.
