I want to create this types of Fixture in one body. Here square and circle both are different fixtures but attach in one body
Thanks in advance
You can use number of tools to make the fixtures. At my best knowledege there are some Tools listed as follows
Physics Editor
Vertex Helper
Sprite Helper
Level Helper
There might be more tools for physics editor, but I would prefer to use Physics Editor.

I have installed this great development tool and I´m testing how can I use spatial queries or customize other functions.
For example, in the petclinic-geo project create a new map that shows only the owners inside Valencia (area). I think there is no roo commands that can create spatial queries.
In this case, how can I create new custom functions ?, Do I need to remove Roo to do that or either codes can coexist?
Thanks
Sorry Allen, Currently this feature is not implemented on framework. But, in gvNIX 2.0 roadmap (current in definition), probably, will includes advanced search for geometrical entities.
Anyway, you could make push-in of generated .aj files to customize the data request used by map component to fit returned data to your requirements.
Good luck!
Before I start diggin' into the Photoshop SDK, I want to make sure what I'm aiming for is possible. My general Idea was to create a plugin that is shown as a layer in the layer-manager and renders clones of a layer that the user can specifiy, based on parameters of course.
Is this possible ?
For my project report, i need to show the class diagram of the software i've built which counts around 20 classes! The problem, is that when i render the class diagram in jpeg file(either using StarUML or ArgoUMl or whatever..) we can't see the details correctly (very big picture because of the large number of classes). Well, how to manage this situation correctly? Since the report is gonna be printed on A4 pages ?
Thanks !
With 20 classes I would expect at least 3 subsystems, (modules, layers), possibly more
Make package diagram showing the relation between those, one class diagram for each subsystem.
Add class diagrams for special things you want to show. Print each on A4.
If you can't split the diagram easily into modules, I'd consider that a design smell.
Its fun to print large diagrams on huge pieces of paper (like 500 tables on A0 ;-) but it really isn't of much use.
Producing a class diagram containing 20 classes is totally useless- what does it actually show? When using class diagrams I've never created a diagram that has more than about 5-8 classes on it.
The question to ask yourself is "what useful information am I trying to show with this diagram?". Don't produce a class diagram for the sake of it!
Breaking it down to demonstrate a particular design pattern, subsystem or component is what I find class diagrams useful for.
an other way is to not show all members but only the main ones, this reduce the size of the classes then the size of the diagram. Of course this suppose you use a tool allowing to choose which operations/attributs/relations must be visible, but this drawing setting is classical
may be you tool also have drawing setting to hide some part of the operation to reduce the width, for instance to show or not the parameters, or their direction, their type etc
Bouml (http://bouml.free.fr) has all this drawing options, and as it was said has PNG and SVG exports
best regards and happy modeling

There are a few things you can do:
Bigger paper
Don't display method signatures
Don't display private methods
Partition your problem into more packages
Fewer classes per diagram
This is one of the problems with trying to treat UML like engineering drawings: Once you get it off a whiteboard, it's a poor language for communication. It doesn't read so well.
Generally a good way to deal with this is to create different diagrams for different modules or areas of functionality for your software. Alternately you could print the single image on multiple pages and show how to assemble them to form the full image.
I think it's the inherent problem that you're trying to show so many things in one diagram. Your question is just like "how can I put 100 words in a sentence without the reader getting tired of it?"
You can probably refactor it with FacadePattern. Basically it's just breaking down stuffs into modules. For e.g. Timesheet, PayCheck, BonusRecord can be ground into ManagementSystem. Product, Order can be grouped into OperationSystem, etc.
Use BOUML. The ArgoUML and StarUML are classics which everybody mention when it comes to question "is there any free UML software?". It's funny that being a historic software does not make the software unknown and unused. In case of Argo and Star the historic coefficient makes them known and used.
BOUML can export to SVG. This will solve your problems.I described the tool here
Thanks to SVG you will be able to quickly switch between birds eye view and detail view. I do this with Firefox. It's rapidly fast.
PS. I just noticed that you want to print the report. The SVG is then probably not what you want :\
Split your classes in several diagrams! When creating a UML model, you can have model elements such as classes displayed (no not) in several diagrams. A diagram is just a view of your UML model so that you can highlight modules in your specific diagrams.
I need to create a customized graphical flowchart builder. There are only three classes of connectable components, and two kinds of connectors from which the flowchart is constructed. Each component and connector class, though, needs to have a tailored set of properties associated with the instances of their class.
So I'm looking for a "flowchart builder" builder that lets me configure the types of components, the associated properties, and has all the plumbing already in place to handle drag/drop, resizing, drawing, connecting, load/save, and so on.
Ideally the resulting application would save diagrams in an XML-based format, but anything parsable would be fine.
Dia has the capabilities I'm looking for, however, customizing it for a new type of diagram requires coding up the specifics of the component set. I'm looking for something that on a much shorter timeframe constructs a flowchart application ideally based on the content of component and connector configuration definitions.
If you want to use Dia: It might not be necessary to "code" your components. Maybe you can simply "draw" them:

Such shapes can also be equipped with attributes (you'll have to do some XML-Editing for this):

I'm not sure if you were aware of this information.
I want to use a template engine in a struts application and would like to know if using TILES can be recommended instead of FREEMARKER or VELOCITY.
I've used tiles before on a project. It was good for templating, however it can't really be compared to velocity or freemarker: with Tiles you use normal JSPs and are limited to the JSP tags youv'e got.
Velocity (and probably Freemarker although I haven't used it before) provide their own tags or expression language, so you can do thinks like:
Hello ${name}
Which you can't do in plain JSPs. [updated due to comment: in JSP 2.0, EL is included so you can do things like that. However, I think Velocity or Freemarker are more powerful in terms of what you can do with it.]
If you've got a layout with lots of different components (i.e. header, sidebar, etc) and you want to define various different templates, tiles isn't a bad choice. (Although be warned - it can be quite a lot of XML!)
But if you need something more "advanced" than plain JSPs Velocity or Freemarker might be the way to go.
I use tiles and velocity.
Tiles is great for dividing a page in components and reuse markup between screens while velocity is a great template language such smarty in the php world.
I recommend not to choose between tiles and velocity but instead use both. They complement each other really well.
Or you could use Stripes. MUCH easier than Tiles!
