To customize what version of Java is used by default on your mac (once you've installed another version of Java):
At the command line:
cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions
sudo rm CurrentJDK
sudo ln -s /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk{version number here}.jdk/Contents CurrentJDK

For those updating their Macs to Yosemite it will revert the CurrentJDK symlink to the system default even if you have customized it.

Posting this because a friend needed it... I would never advocate using such a platform :)

Verified by creating the following class

import javax.crypto.*;
import java.security.*;
public class JceTest {
public static void main (String[] args){
boolean isUnlimitedSupported = false;
try {
KeyGenerator kgen = KeyGenerator.getInstance("AES", "SunJCE");
kgen.init(256);
isUnlimitedSupported = true;
} catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e){
isUnlimitedSupported = false;
} catch (NoSuchProviderException e) {
isUnlimitedSupported = false;
}
System.out.println("isUnlimitedSupported=" + isUnlimitedSupported);
}
}

and running: javac JceTest.java; java JceTest

Java XML Tutorial and How to read UTF-8 XML file in Java – (SAX Parser)

First Step:
Convert the cert into a Java Keystore:
openssl pkcs12 -export -name mycert.local -in /etc/ssl/certs/mycert.local.cert -inkey /etc/ssl/private/mycert.local.key -out mycert.local.keystore.p12

Second Step:
Import the new keystore (Using the primary java keystore of an Oracle Java install on Linux here:
keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore mycert.local.keystore.p12 -destkeystore /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/jre/lib/security/cacerts -srcstoretype pkcs12

Debugging with eclipse tips from codecentric.de

Particularly useful to me were the sections:
Navigation: Drop to Frame, Variables View: Show Logical Structure

The stuff on Detail Formatters was useful as well.

Note that Eclipse will truncate long strings in the detail view, but you can increase this limit. However, with very large values, you'll find it much easier to change the underlying code adding a log statement due to the detail view being really slow to render.

In your ~/.grails/settings.groovy

String archivaUsername = "daniel"
String archivaPass = ""
String archivaHost = "myArchivaHost.bowerstudios.com"
grails.project.ivy.authentication = {
credentials {
realm = "Repository Archiva Managed releases Repository"
host = archivaHost
username = archivaUsername
password = archivaPass
}
}
grails.project.repos.bowerStudiosArchiva.url = "http://${archivaHost}/archiva/repository/releases"
grails.project.repos.bowerStudiosArchiva.username = archivaUsername
grails.project.repos.bowerStudiosArchiva.password = archivaPass
grails.project.repos.default = "bowerStudiosArchiva"

Then, as long as you have the release plugin installed:
To install to your local maven cache:
grails maven-install
To install to Archiva:
grails maven-deploy

Created a private key and cert request using openssl. Sent it off to get a Rapid ssl cert, and had to do the following:

Concatenate the primary and secondary ca certs with the cert issued by rapid ssl:
cat primary_inter.cer secondary_inter.cer host.bowerstudios.com.cert > certs.cert

Next, I used openssl to create a "combined store"
openssl pkcs12 -export -in certs.cert -inkey host.bowerstudios.com.key -certfile certs.cert -name host.bowerstudios.com -out host.bowerstudios.com.p12

Now, import the keystore into a java keystore
keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore host.bowerstudios.com.p12 -srcstoretype pkcs12 -destkeystore tomcat.keystore -deststoretype JKS
