Removing a file/directory that starts with a "-" in Linux/Unix
Removing a file/directory that starts with the character "-" can be tricky in Linux/Unix. On Linux/Unix you may get this error when attempting to remove a file/directory:
Some commands may give you a hint e.g.
This is exactly what is required i.e just append the "./" to the file/folder to resolve your problem.
rm: invalid option -- '1'
Some commands may give you a hint e.g.
Try `rm ./-1' to remove the file `-1'.
This is exactly what is required i.e just append the "./" to the file/folder to resolve your problem.

Slow startup of Weblogic server on Linux
Had a strange problem on our Linux server recently after installing Weblogic 10. The server was very slow to startup. Seems the problem is this bug in Java 5: Bug 6202721
The fix is to edit the java.security file in the jre/lib/security folder of your java installation on the server. Alter the securerandom.source field to be file:/dev/./urandom as suggested in this article: How to improve Weblogic Servers Startup Time

The exception above can be resolved by adding this Hibernate property:

"No runnable methods" when using Maven for a class that shouldn't be Tested
I recently ran into a problem doing a Maven build where I had a utility class to be used for my Test cases. Adding the @Ignore tag didn't seem to help. It turns out the solution was simply to add this plugin entry to my pom.xml file as my file had the suffix Util.java:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/*Util.java</exclude>
</excludes>
</configuration>
</plugin>

ClassNotFoundException: org.hibernate.hql.ast.HqlToken
When using Hibernate to read from a Database using Weblogic 10 and Springframework 2.5.6, I encountered the following error:
ClassNotFoundException: org.hibernate.hql.ast.HqlToken
The reason for this is that it by default will use Weblogic's default classloader to load the antlr jar file and doesn't use the version included within your .war file.
To solve this you need to wrap your .war in an ear file and within the META-INF/weblogic-application.xml file within you .ear file include the following:
<prefer-application-packages>
<package-name>antlr.*</package>
</prefer-application-packages>
This should resolve this issue.
