Embed Jira Issue Details in Connfluence page - jira

I am currently looking for a way to integrate detail views of selected Jira Issues into a Conflluennce page. It seems it is not a problem at all to embed a list of Issues into confluence, but I am looking for a way to integrate the detail-view of a single Jira Issue into a Conflluence page.
The reason I need this, is that I am currently defining a workflow for formmally planning a Project. Currently I export the Issues of a Project version to Word and then update the resulting document to become a formal specification document. I would now like to do this in Confuence.
Any help greatly appreciated.

This is available in the latest Confluence version, 3.5. Here's the documentation.

Well I solved my problem by creating my own confluence macro that accesses Jira using the REST interface. Works like a charm. If I find the time, I'll try to make it generally available (currently It's extremely tied to our configuration (hard-coded urls and credentials) Will be looking forward to utilizing the trusted communication features in the future.

How to do floating Native UI (Android) using cordova-ace plugins?

I am looking for documentation for Ace to do "Floating UI" , i want to to like facebook "Chat Heads". So far there is no documentation only mentioning coming soon , which means avaliable but undocumented right?. Is it already available in github latest master?
They decided to close the support for this project:
As of December 2016, this project is no longer maintained by Microsoft. We built ACE to provide developers with an “escape hatch” to access native code from within JavaScript. After nearly a year in production, we learned that most developers are satisfied with the access granted by Cordova’s Plugin Model. Thus, we’ve discontinued active development. We appreciate your interest in the project and hope you found it exemplary of Microsoft’s commitment to experimentation and open source software. if you're interested in continuing this project, please feel free to fork it. As of December 2016, we will no longer monitor or respond to open issues. You can keep up with other projects from Microsoft’s Cordova team by visiting http://taco.visualstudio.com. Thanks for your support!
I was also looking some plugin to implement "chat heads" in Cordova, without any luck :(

How to use angular2_material dart

Does anyone know of a site where angular2_material Dart example can be found?
I know it is its alpha state but it would be nice to be able to experiment with it.
The Angular GitHub repo contains some examples.
Seems they are built so that the Dart code can automatically generated but I haven't done that myself yet.
Seems there are only very few Angular2 material elements available yet.

List & Label web report designer cross browser compatibility

I'm planning to use list & label as a reporting tool for my MVC Web Application, I downloaded the trial version and the sample code was really helpful.
I'm almost settled on using this as my app's reporting tool but I'm thinking twice on their web app report designer tool, because I needed to install the chrome extension before I can use it.
I'm using version LL v.20
So my questions are:
Is the chrome extension really needed for the designer to work? I'm thinking that if my app goes live, will I require my clients to install this plugin first?
Will the designer have issues on other browser? So far I haven't seen extensions/plugins for IE (only Fireforx, Safari, Opera, Chrome).
PS. If all else fail, can you suggest an alternative for this? The reporting tool that I need is web-based and allows end-users to edit the reports. Thanks!
1) Yes, you need to install the plugin on the client side.
2) For IE, there's a Designer ActiveX. Simply open your existing app in IE, you should be offered to install the OCX right away.
As to your general concerns:
We plan to replace the plugins with a client-side application that can be one-time installed with a couple of clicks in LL21. The reasoning is the step-by-step deprecation of plugins by most browser vendors. Changing between the plugins and the new designer app will be quite easy. The new designer will also support previewing at design time. Depending on when you plan to ship your application it may well be worth the wait till October.
I have tried List and Label Web Designer and found that installing additional application for all users is not a good idea. Will look for another solutions, may be FastReport.Net. That online designer is realy online and can work not only on Windows.

OAuthorizer for Thunderbird Extensions

I am about to build an extension where every user has
to grant access on his Evernote account.
I am a bit confused about all this authorization thing,
so I would be glad if someone could give me any advice
about if I can use OAuthorizer on this extension or
whatever he thinks is good to know about it.
Thanks!!
You can consider using OAuthorizer, but I recommend you look into alternatives (and report back if you find them!).
I am using OAuthorizer in version 1.9 of my goo.gl lite extension.
When 1.9 was reviewed, the reviewer expressed concern that I was including another extension within my own (as well as a secondary issue with synchronous HTTP requests within OAuthorizer). I have not resolved these issues yet myself.
Ideally, extension authors could just specify an OAuth library as a dependency, and it would be installed automatically, without requiring copying the library in, or multiple copies if the user had multiple OAuth-using extensions.
In the meantime, "copy it in" is the only option I'm aware of.
Another issue is that OAuthorizer does not seem to be actively developed. The last commit of mozilla/oauthorizer was on Jan 23, 2012. There may be a better or more actively developed library out there.

Code reuse tools

I usually maintain code snippets that I can resuse in a Wikidpad personal wiki with a small index page that can take me to any code that I want.
I want to share these snippets with my team and am looking for easy ways to do it.
Are there any tools that would help me setup such a repository? Or should I simply install a wiki and port my personal wiki there?
Thanks
Hari
Google Docs, perhaps? Search-ability is the key. No one has time to cross-index, keyword-stuff, and organize "snippets" into complex ontologies.
Also, remember that when someone reuses code, they also reuse the bugs, limitations, and performance issues you may have worked out in subsequent revisions. The best way to reuse code is not to copy it, but to document it and make it accessible for direct reuse.
Some IDEs have a code-snippet utility built into them. e.g. Visual Studio has Code Snippet Manager.
Or perhaps an addin like Resharper. My point being find something that integrates nicely with the IDE that your team uses.
Why not use code snipplr
An easy and reusable solution: a repository with web interface like subversion. Also Github can be a good option since you don't need installation
