Sramana Mitra certainly things big when she resolved to help one Million entrepreneurs to reach annual revenues of at least one Million US Dollars.

"I have come to conclude that the most vulnerable phase in an
entrepreneur's life is the pre-$1 million revenue stage. This is where
numerous ventures fail. Once the $1 million revenue milestone is
crossed, it's easier for entrepreneurs to find additional customers,
manage working capital and access funding, whether it is credit or
equity."

Way to go, Sramana!  This is a great answer to the financial crisis of today.  If we want our wealth to be sustainable, we have to create it.

"A FEW times a year, Charlemagne has the luck to teach students at a European management school in Paris. It is an enlightening experience (for your columnist, at least). One popular question has been why some European Union policies are so contentious in places like France, notably the commitment to an internal market based on “free and undistorted competition”. After a while, the penny dropped. If you play word association, it turns out that for many in a Parisian classroom, the polar opposite of “competition” is “solidarity”: ie, the useful rigour imposed by competition is overshadowed by the pain caused as society divides into winners and losers. For Anglo-Saxon liberals, the instinctive opposite of “competition” is “monopoly”: ie, the pain of competition is justified by a quest for fairness, even before getting to arguments about efficiency and companies’ long-term fitness."

I had a few issues getting Rodin 1.1 to work properly after Updating Ubuntu to 9.10.  The main issue is the HTML-Viewer that Eclipse uses.  It wraps Firefox/xulrunner in an SWT-Control.  Unfortunately, Firefox 3.5 (xulrunner 1.9.1) is incompatible with Eclipse 3.4, on which Rodin is based.

To work around this problem, you need to install xulrunner 1.9.0.  I installed it locally at ~/opt/xulrunner-1.9.0.15

Next, you need to edit your rodin.ini (in the Rodin installation directory) and add the following line:

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=~/opt/xulrunner-1.9.0.15

That's it!  This also works for running Eclipse 3.4 (in that case, you have to edit eclipse.ini).

Good luck!

Great video that puts today's achievements and our expectations into perspective:

For my own reference:

• Create a new GWT-Project
• Give it a standard Plug-In name (e.g. de.jastram.gwtexample)
• Give the Project the Plug-In Nature (Right-click on Project > Configure > Convert to Plug-in Projects...)
• Add Dependency to de.jastram.jettyrunner
• Add Extension de.jastram.jettyrunner.warrunner
• Add a war-element
• That's it - don't forget to compile.
