Change a .classpath linked to an IDEA project and want to cheat out of reloading the whole project? Try this:

In IntelliJ IDEA, when you update a .classpath file externally IDEA pops up dialog that complains and tells you that you need to reload the project. I think they’ve fixed this in 8.x for .iml files, but not for linked Eclipse .classpath files.

When I’m running 2 apps under the debugger I don’t want to lose all that and start over just because I screwed up a dependency.

It’s simple:

Delete the module.
Make your modifications.
Re-add the module.

You’re done! Significantly faster than stopping all running apps, reloading the whole project, and starting all over again.

Free Public WiFi:

Have you ever seen an ad-hoc network named “Free Public Wifi”? I see it all over the place, especially at airpoirts? It’s not a virus. An interesting tale…
