Mac: moving large amount of files off to external drive

I have tried to clean up my hard drive in preparation to upgrade to SSD. Moving files using Finder FAILS all the time an in the end you don't know what was copied and what was not.

I used rsynch tool because it it smart enough to copy ONLY new and changed files, so I can run it multiple times and transfer only the differences (delta).

$ sudo rsync -varpog --progress ~/Documents/SourceDir/ /Volumes/1TB_BU/DestinationDir/  Password:building file list ... 8943 files to consider.DS_Store      159748 100%  121.10MB/s    0:00:00 (xfer#1, to-check=8941/8943)2013-08-15 09.35.24.mp4    87290465 100%   22.57MB/s    0:00:03 (xfer#2, to-check=7445/8943)2013-08-15 11.51.18.jpg

Options:

-h show full help

-h unman readable
-q quiet for non-error

-r recursive

-b backup

-p preserve permissions

Java: find jar

When you are looking for a given Java class, you can use this online database to locate jars:

Example, looking for log4j

http://www.findjar.com/index.x?query=log4j

Among others I get response:

[JAR] log4j-1.1.3.jar in log4j/log4j/1.1.3
[JAR] log4j-1.2.11.jar in log4j/log4j/1.2.11
[JAR] log4j-1.2.12.jar in log4j/log4j/1.2.12

Maven: installing apk, or arr, or jar in .m2

Sometimes you get a built artifact (apk, arr, jar) and instead of keeping it in your Downloads, or com up with a nice folder structure, you can simply put it in your Maven .m2 repository, that what it is designed for.

$ mvn install:install-file -Dpackaging=apk -DgroupId=com. mycompany.android -DartifactId= SomeApp -Dversion=1.4.42.0 -Dfile=/Users/uki/Downloads/SomeApp-1.4.42.0.apk

TextWrangler: formatting XML file

Go to directory where TextWrangle keeps all the scripts:

$ cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextWrangler/Text\ Filters 

Create a new file for XML formatting:

Text Filters $ touch FormatXML.sh 

This will open the new file in TextWrangler (or whatever editor you have set).

Text Filters $ edit FormatXML.sh 

Enter this text in that file and save:

#!/bin/sh
XMLLINT_INDENT=$'\t' xmllint --format --encode utf-8 -

Now you can format any XML by selecting TextWrangler menu: 

Text > Apply Text Filter > FormatXML
