Configuring Nutch In Eclipse

Configuring nutch in eclipse can really be nightmare to developers, which may eventually lead them to unfollow the project.

Here are the simplest steps that can let any developer run nutch within eclipse.

• Get eclipse
• Get a copy of nutch source. 
• Save it somewhere in your eclipse workspace. Name it as NUTCH_HOME
• In the terminal, cd NUTCH_HOME
• In the terminal, run "ant" command to build the nutch project.
• now remove build directory, rm -rf build
• Now eclipse part. Create new Java project., name it as NUTCH_HOME...dont click finish...click Next.
• In the next screen, change the build directory from NUTCH_HOME/build to NUTCH_HOME/tmp-build
• Go to libraries tab, add src/conf to the class folder
• Go to order & export tab and move NUTCH_HOME/conf to top
• open the file NUTCH_HOME/conf/nutch-defaul.xml and change plugins.folder property to ./src/plugins
• set the agent name property.
• clean and build project...and you are finish

Happy Coding...!

A brief about Samsung BADA

Yet another mobile OS in the market, Samsung has launched BADA in the market.

Being a software developer i was quite interested to see the technology being used behind bada, so hit the Google for BADA developers,

like all the other mobile development platform BADA also provides the SDK, but was shocked to know that development on Linux is not supported.

The technology of C++ is good to be used by BADA, but the i do not understand the non-UNIX support, there after i lost the inserted in the BADA application development,

Sorry for all my Linux colleagues. :(

Hope to have Linux flavor for BADA SDK soon.
