You can export the Java options you want to be global in your ~/.bashrc file, and they'll apply to all Java apps. In my .bashrc, I have <code>export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Xms40m -Xmx1024m'</code> The good thing about this is that it sticks even if I uninstall or upgrade Eclipse. Bad thing, it applies to every Java app I run. Hi :)

Just wanted to add that you don’t have to edit the local Eclipse configuration files to change Java’s VM memory restrictions.

You can export the Java options you want to be global in your ~/.bashrc file, and they’ll apply to all Java apps. In my .bashrc, I have

1
export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Xms40m -Xmx1024m'

The good thing about this is that it sticks even if I uninstall or upgrade Eclipse.

Bad thing, it applies to every Java app I run.

If your are using an application that use its own HTTP client to make some requests on remote servers, you will be happy to be able to pass authentication data via URL. Hello ;

Hopefully most developers are using bundler to control their gem dependencies, and luckily, bundler now supports the feature of blowing up if the ruby environment isn't set correctly. http://gembundler.com/v1.2/gemfile_ruby.html Hopefully this solves a few issues that creep in when having shared environments! “export RUBYOPT=”–1.9″” is quite horrible you’re right and slightly annoying to find.

They have a big flaw though, they make you test things you shouldn't necessarily be testing (the "have_db_column" for example). And some of them are quite slow and require data generation *before* the matcher, like validates_uniqueness_of. The shoulda-matchers are indeed nice.
