Goodbye to VMD

If you are running Linux 64 bit don't even consider using NetBenas Visual Mobile Designer (VMD). Actually do not consider developing mobile applications on any 64 bit platform (Linux, Mac or Windows).

The newer feature-rich Java ME SDK 3.0 is available only for Windows XP and Vista while the old Sun Java Wireless Toolkit 2.5.2 is available only for Linux 32 bit platforms.

In short, although you will see on the NetBeans download page that Java ME is supported technology for Linux 64 bit platform that is not true. One can create project but it is not possible to compile, run or deploy it.

You can try to install JDK 32 bit on Linux 64 bit but eventually you will run into problems.

Converting PHP_CodeSniffer XML report into HTML page (XSLT)

PHP CodeSniffer XML report will look similar to this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<phpcs version="1.2.2">
 <file name="/home/myhome/NetBeansProjects/LazyLoad/Libs/LazyLoad/Repositories/NestedSetNode.php" errors="7" warnings="1">
  <error line="39" column="11" source="Generic.NamingConventions.UpperCaseConstantName.ConstantNotUpperCase">Constants must be uppercase; expected LAZYLOAD but found LazyLoad</error>
  <error line="39" column="20" source="Generic.NamingConventions.UpperCaseConstantName.ConstantNotUpperCase">Constants must be uppercase; expected REPOSITORIES but found Repositories</error>
  <error line="58" column="1" source="PEAR.Commenting.ClassComment">Missing @link tag in class comment</error>
  <error line="69" column="13" source="PEAR.NamingConventions.ValidVariableName">Private member variable &quot;set&quot; must be prefixed with an underscore</error>
  <error line="75" column="13" source="PEAR.NamingConventions.ValidVariableName">Private member variable &quot;lft&quot; must be prefixed with an underscore</error>
  <error line="81" column="13" source="PEAR.NamingConventions.ValidVariableName">Private member variable &quot;rgt&quot; must be prefixed with an underscore</error>
  <warning line="148" column="9" source="PEAR.ControlStructures.InlineControlStructure">Inline control structures are discouraged</warning>
 </file>
</phpcs>
To transform PHP CodeSniffer XML report into human readable format XSLT stylesheet needs to be attached:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- add line -->
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="phpcs.xsl"?>
<!-- rest of PHP CodeSniffer XML report -->
XSLT stylesheet:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

To generate PHP CodeSniffer reports that will always have attached external XSLT stylesheet one PHP CodeSniffer file needs to be patched and one needs to be added.
New code generator CodeSniffer/Reports.Xls.php needs to be added:
