I haven't tried creating the keyboard mapping file yet. The solution I use is to go into the International settings in System Preferences and enable showing of the keyboard input type on the menu bar. From there I select the US and US Extended. Toggling between the two usually does the trick.

Posting HTML or XML markup on Blogger

Finally getting around to this but this tool is essential. Nicely done.

Character Shifting Algorithm

Here's a simple character shifting algorithm. It gives me a chance to test out google-code-prettify JavaScript/css I just added to my blog.

public class CharacterShift {

 /**
  * @param args
  */
 public static void main(String[] args) {
  char[] word = "iphone".toCharArray();
  int shift = 3;
  char[] result = new char[word.length];
  
  for (int k = 0; k < word.length; k++) {
   int p = (k + shift) % word.length;
   
   result[p] = word[k];
  }
  
  System.out.println(String.valueOf(word) + " shifted by " + shift + " becomes " + String.valueOf(result));
 }

}

For me this replaces MyEclipse on my Mac.

The step I have been missing is the maven-eclipse-plugin.

  <plugin>
   <artifactId>maven-eclipse-plugin</artifactId>
   <configuration>
    <wtpversion>2.0</wtpversion>
   </configuration>
  </plugin>
