What Is WinSCP?

SCP is a secure alternative to FTP\SFTP for securely transferring files between local and remote computer and everything is encrypted.

SCP (Secure Copy) works within SSH which lets you exchange files freely between Linux and Windows. WinSCP is a free SCP client. WinSCP which stands for Windows Secure Copy is a free client for Windows.

One of the most common uses of WinSCP is transferring files between Linux and Windows. For example many Windows professionals prefer to transfer files over to Linux using WinSCP because it provides a Windows Explorer like interface. It has two panels, left for local directory and right for remote directory, where you can just copy and paste or drag and drop files from the Windows area pane to the Linux area pane. It is far easier than knowing which commands to type from within the Linux operating system.

Many professionals also just use their Windows text editor to do the Linux commands and then copy it across using a client utility such as WinSCP.

What is Notepad++?

Notepad++ is a powerful, feature-packed text editor that more or less has everything Notepad needs but lacks (it can replace Notepad in Windows). It supports 27 programming languages, searches regular expressions, and supports syntax highlighting and folding, synchronized edits and views, and much more.

Loads of options: Behind a clean face and busy but efficient toolbar, Notepad++ is a wonder of features and options. One favorite: Default Directory has two choices, Follow current document and Remember last directory. Another: The "old, obsolete" desktop icon is a setup option.

Options to load: We could set Notepad++ not to use %APPDATA% but rather to load or write config files from the installation directory; this is handy when running Notepad++ from a USB device.

Plug-ins, too: Notepad++ comes loaded with useful plug-ins plus a Plug-in Manager. But we could also select a startup option to load plug-ins from AppData -- a potential security issue that Notepad++ only recommends for experienced users.

What is Oracle SQL Developer?

There are numerous products available to programmers and those who want to manage database solutions might appreciate the functions of Oracle SQL Developer.

It is a so-called IDE (Integrated Development Environment) meant to cut down the hassle when it comes to the development or management of Oracle databases. Before installing it, users need to make sure they have Java installed onto the host computer or the setup process will fail.

Not only does the software solution support editing and debugging of PL/SQL applications, but it also comes with a platform for deploying SQL scripts or queries.

Due to the app’s integrated DBA console, developers can easily administer the database contents, generate reports or migrate third-party databases to Oracle.

The interface is neatly organized within several sections, so that each action or query can be performed without needing to access additional windows or menus. Thus, the left panel can be used to find and select objects, while the right section provides details on the selected items.

In addition, Oracle SQL Developer can be used to connect to non-Oracle databases with as little effort as possible, so users can explore data stored in Microsoft SQL Server, Access, MySQL, Sybase Adaptive Server, and IBM DB2 databases.

Other functions provided by Oracle SQL Developer are the creation or import of database designs, along with the building and editing of Data Modeler objects.

The component palette can also be adjusted, yet the options are quite limited for certain page types and existing components.

Overall, the main purpose of Oracle SQL Developer is to simplify the process of database management for all those who work with Oracle data. However, only advanced users who experiment with the application, as it might come with a steep learning curve for the novices.

What is iReport?

iReport is a program that helps users and developers that use the JasperReports library to visually design reports.

Through a rich and very simple to use GUI, iReport provides all the most important functions to create nice reports in little time. iReport can help people that don't know the JasperReports library create complex reports and learn the XML syntax, taking a look to the generated code. iReport can help skilled report designers compose very complex pages, saving a lot of time. iReport is written in Java.

iReport is a visual designer for JasperReports. But What's JasperReports? JasperReports is the best (IMHO) open source reporting engine available for java community. It is developed by a small big genius called Teodor Danciu. JasperReports has always had one lack: it doesn't provide an adapted tool to visually design reports. JasperReports has hundred of features; possibilities of use are infinitely... a person that does not have much confidence with the XML could have some problems to take fully advantage from the JasperReports library.

What is VisualVM?

VisualVM is a Java profiler, one of the several types of Java performance tools (to see more of our favorite Java performance tools, check out this post). In today’s post, we’ll take a look at VisualVM, how it works, and some integrations and alternatives.

VisualVM is a powerful tool that provides a visual interface to see deep and detailed information about local and remote Java applications while they are running on a Java Virtual Machine (JVM). It utilizes and integrates some of the command-line tools that JDK provides and bundles them up to see the application within JVM; this bundle includes command-line tools jmap, jstack, jConsolem, jstat, and jinfo. All these tools are available in standard JDK distribution.

It helps the programmers and architects to track memory leaks, analyze the heap data, monitor the garbage collector and CPU profiling. It also helps to improve the application performance and ensure that memory usage is optimized. With features like thread analysis and head dump analysis, it is very handy in solving run-time problems.

What is a WebLogic Server domain?

A domain is the basic administrative unit of WebLogic Server. It consists of one or more WebLogic Server instances, and logically related resources and services that are managed, collectively, as one unit.

A domain includes one WebLogic Server instance that is configured as an administration server. All changes to configuration and deployment of applications are done through the administration server.

The administration server provides a central point for managing the domain and providing access to the WebLogic Server administration tools. These tools include the following:

• WebLogic Server Administration Console: Graphical user interface to the administration server.
• WebLogic Server Node Manager: A Java program that enables you to start and stop server instances—both administration servers and managed servers—remotely, and to monitor and automatically restart them after an unexpected failure.
• Note that the node manager is installed on all the machines that host any server instance – both administration server and managed servers.

What is JBoss EAP 6?

The JBoss Application Server is one of the most popular open source Java application servers on the market. The latest release, JBoss AS 7 / EAP 6, is a major release that includes many improvements and changes from the widely adopted JBoss 5 platform. 

JBoss AS starts with installation, architecture, and basic configuration and monitoring. It covers management using the new and expanded Web console, as well as the structure of the management model and how to use it via the admin CLI (Command Line Interface) and via scripting. It includes coverage of using the management tools to deploy and configure Web and Enterprise applications, datasources, JMS resources (topics, queues), as well as covering the configuration of the major subsystems, including the Web (HTTP), Web Services, Messaging (including the new HornetQ based provider), Logging, and Security subsystems. 

You will also learn the structure and contents of the underlying XML configuration files that reflect the actual configuration. Also covers the use of JBoss in standalone mode (consistent with previous releases of JBoss), and explains the new domain model for managing multiple JBoss nodes from a single management point. The last part delves into the details of clustering JBoss for high availability and load balancing, as well as going into the details of setting up and managing a JBoss domain with the new domain model.
