It would be really nice, if you could group your questions the next
time and send them to the appropriate lists!

File a feature request.

File a feature request.

Works fine here. Just tried. Are you sure it works for you for style
sheets without a dash?

Add this to your eogen script at the bottom ("Defines" part):
Key: EOGenericRecord
Value: your.cool.package.GenericRecord

Use links around image. Or WOActiveImage instead of a WOImageButton
(which, as it says, is a button, buttons submit).

Not that I know of.

Eclipse feature. Not that I know of. Edit your formatter appropriately
so that it does what you want I guess.

File a bug report. Actually, Format doesn't work for me at all at the
moment ...

Huah. File a feature request. But I doubt that this will get a high
priority.

Eclipse?! I haven't checked. I think I tried that years ago and
couldn't get it working.

So, if it works now, where is the problem? ;-) Haven't used that, so
somebody else will have to answer that.

I use Java for that. I seem to recall there is a way (I bet, at least
with WOOgnl there is), but I wouldn't bet on it and I think I like it
better to build the array in Java.

Set your run configuration to use a specific port. Then you can't
start a new instance while one is running. So you don't kill your
machine with hundreds of running instances.
Other tip: I always start in Debug mode, not in Run. Then when I
change things that can't be "hot-fixed" Eclipse shows a dialog whether
to terminate or restart the application or just to ignore it.

While I'm certainly not Mike or Chuck or Anjo, there are still some
spaces open in the class in Germany ... I bet there is some useful
stuff to see there. Not sure though ... ;-)
