logback asyncappender

Since 1.0.4 logback has the famous async appender we all waited for at least me.
It's great news, not to use any custom appenders or custom async appender but their in house.

Just to inform you.

Skype has stopped working on windows 7

Had this once with the current version, 5.3.011.

I think that they already know about this issue and working to solve it.

I thought it's something with the firewall but it doesn't looks like.

My solution that worked for me, founded among many forums is:
Start -> Run -> write '%appdata%\Skype' in this directory, delete a file named 'shared.xml'
Restart skype.

But i know it doesn't solve the problem for all cases, meaning you may have like me windows 7 64bit, do the same solution but it won't work, why ? Don't really know.

Using platform encoding (Cp1252 actually) to copy filtered resources

Simple solution, just add utf-8 as a property like this:

<properties>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
</properties>

Apache maven.

Hoped it helped,

Element 'filters' cannot have character [children], because the type's content type is element-only. maven

Go this error while adding filter to web.xml.
My mistake was that i forgot creating the <filter> tag inside the <filters>.
I did this:
 <filters>src/main/filters/filter.properties</filters> instead of doing this:
 <filters><filter>src/main/filters/filter.properties</filter></filters>

Minor mistake that can happen in one minute out of focus.
