Constants in Spring Context

Found an easy way to include a constant declared in some random Java file into the context file.

http://www.unicon.net/node/601

<bean id="Context" class="javax.naming.InitialContext"> 
    <constructor-arg> 
        <util:map id="jmsProperties" map-class="java.util.Hashtable"> 
            <entry> 
                <key><util:constant static-field="javax.naming.Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY"/></key> 
                <value>org.apache.activemq.jndi.ActiveMQInitialContextFactory</value> 
            </entry> 
            <entry> 
                <key><util:constant static-field="javax.naming.Context.PROVIDER_URL"/></key> 
                <value>tcp://localhost:61616</value> 
            </entry> 
        </util:map> 
    </constructor-arg> 
</bean>

Installing the Aptana plugin in Eclipse makes Quick Diff colors unreadable

When I install this plugin my Quick Diff colors change, making it near impossible to read an SVN compare.

I have found that there are a couple potential fixes, or combinations thereof:

1. Go to Preferences -> General -> Editors -> Text Editors -> Quick Diff.
  • Changes ->  H:80 S:240 L:240 R:221 G:225 B:221
  • Additions ->  H:80 S:240 L:240 R:221 G:225 B:221
  • Deletions ->  H:0 S:240 L:232 R:255 G:238 B:238
2. Go to Aptana Studio -> Themes. Ensure Eclipse is chosen from the drop down box.
