My Nana Broke My iPhone Calendar

The other day I was following Google's instructions on how to sync my Google Calendar with my iPhone. I've been a big fan of Rainlendar for a long time, and it just so happened that every important Birthday is in my Rainlendar calendar. First, I setup the syncing. Piece of cake - I chose to go the CalDAV route, rather than Google Sync.

Great - events are showing up on my phone. Ok - let's import my Rainlendar birthdays iCal (.ICS) file to Google. Also easy - now everyone's birthday is in my google calendar, and should now make their way to my iPhone.

There's just one problem. Now every day on my calendar has a dot, even when there are no events. I check my Google Calendar - it looks fine...so I do some searching, and what do I find out? 

My Nana Broke My iPhone Calendar.

You see, there's a bug in the iPhone calendar. It cannot handle with recurring events that start prior to December, 1930. Nana, I've made you 3 years younger to make my iPhone happy - I hope you don't mind.

Eclipse and Mockito

Mockito is great. A big part of it is the syntactic sugar, which relies on using static imports. Eclipse, by default, removes static imports when you use 'Organize Imports' (Ctrl+Shift+O). This saddened me, so I found a way to fix it. Thanks go to this post on static import content assist and the post it links on organize imports. I will repeat both instructions in here in one place.

Part 1: Tell Eclipse Not To Remove My Precious Static Imports

1. Open Preferences (Window-> Preferences)
2. Browse to Java -> Code Style -> Organize Imports
3. Change 'Number of static imports needed for .* to '1' 
4. Click Ok 

Part 2: Get Eclipse to Create the Mockito Static Import for Me

1. Open Preferences (Window -> Preferences)
2. Browse to Java -> Editor -> Content Assist -> Favorites
3. Click 'New Type...'
4. Enter org.mockito.Mockito
5. Click Ok twice. 

Now you can write unit tests with Mockito in Eclipse without issues. You can now type mock and ctrl+space and Eclipse will add the static import for you. It will also leave it alone when you Organize Imports going forward. No more trying to remember not to Ctrl+Shift+O when editing a mockito test.
