I am working with Vaadin for a long period of time, but one thing really annoys me: The colorless ComboBox. As I found out, it is not possible to set the items via HTML or to add a color style attribute via ItemStyleGenerators. The last option to do this is implementing extensions as mentioned here: Question-link
But I have really no idea how to do this. Implementing extensions is really not as clear as possible and there are not that many easy tutorials on how to do this.
Has anyone an idea for how to do this or a good link to any detailed tutorial site?
To realize what extensions are, you must to read about client side Vaadin development. I suggest to start with: Client-Side Development
After that you can start to think about extensions.

due to reasons I am working with undocumented java library code that I cannot alter in any way or write into. Im using eclipse 2020-06 and I would like to leaves some notes for myself to make things easier. Is there a way to do that? or maybe an eclipse extension?
You can use bookmarks. They work somewhat similarly to breakpoints, without pausing execution when you're debugging.
You can add them via the context menu.
If I recall, you're a bit limited by the amount of information you can add. It's basically just a single text box.
See the help section on bookmarks
Maybe there's some plugins which extend the functionality (e.g. this one for adding keyboard shortcuts)
I'm new to JSF.
I have two use cases.
1: URL: https://site.com/context/part/{partId}
2: URL: https://site.com/context/register-token?tokenType=xxxxxx&token=xxxxx
in each of these cases i'd like to extract the variable information, execute code in a java class (scoped bean/#PostConstruct, i presume) then display appropriate content based on the values.
I'm sure this is pretty straight forward in JSF and I have seen quite a few nice suggestions on how to do pieces of these, but they seem to not be without controversy, so I can't say they're the correct way due to my ignorance. Additionally there seems to be significant enough changes in 2.2 the older posts could be out of date as far as "correctness" goes. Lastly there doesn't seem to be a guide (that I can find) that specifically talks to these workflows specifically in 2.2.
Can anyone provide me a semi comprehensive "correct" way to do these things in JEE7/JSF2.2?
Correct can be subjective I know, but my thinking though this seems rudimentary enough that in this case a vanilla happy path suggestion would be enough.
Much appreciated, thanks.
Finishing comment from above as the last issue has been resolved...
For workflow 1: i found this and it worked: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/java/jsf22-1377252.html
But it seemed limited to query params.
For workflow 2: I'm using prettyfaces and i was able to get it to work ~sort-of~ by using this (Section 3.6): http://ocpsoft.org/docs/prettyfaces/3.3.3/en-US/html/Configuration.html#config.actions
My web assets not resolving issue was resolved, by using this tip given by #chkal: PrettyFaces using mapped urls and actions, i lose all my stylings.
This suggestion pushed me over the edge to abandon a pure JSF solution and use pretty faces especially since im going to lean towards workflow 2 more often than not: Should I use f:event or action element in PrettyFaces?
We made our own api for airbrake.io in java. This works fine but airbrake is displaying parameters and stacktraces in some kind of Rails style. This is somewhat annoying. Anyone know of similar services made for java?
Example of how data is displayed:
Parameters
{"controller"=>"", "action"=>""}
Stacktrace
/testapp/app/models/user.rb:53:in `public'
/testapp/app/controllers/users_controller.rb:14:in `index'
UPDATE 2015-02-13: This service no longer exists. The GitHub account linked below is gone, as is the company website.
Have you tried using Coalmine https://github.com/coalmine/coalmine_java Its meant to be used with the Coalmine service: https://getcoalmine.com/
I work at Coalmine and we have been using this internally for some time now. We just open sourced the java connector this week and I would be happy to help you get started with it. You can send me an email at brad#builtfromsource.com
Have you tried using http://code.google.com/p/hoptoad/ . It's a little out of date, but it should just need to update an endpoint to http://api.airbrake.io .
A quick google lead me to http://logdigger.com/ which is designed specific for JAVA specific sites.
I work at Airbrake, and I would be happy to work with you to make our site more JAVA friendly. Please get in touch ben#airbrake.io, and I'll see how we can better display java specific information.
Just adding to the others suggested here, but Raygun (http://raygun.io) has first class support for Java.
Read more here: http://raygun.io/java
I work for Mindscape who built Raygun so can answer any questions you may have about it: jd#mindscape.co.nz. We already have a large number of organizations using Raygun with their Java apps, although Raygun does support other platforms (.NET, Node, Rails, PHP, etc)
I would like to have a JTree which also displays some extra information right adjusted, just like there was an extra column, see picture below. Any hints for accomplishing something like this or similar are welcome!

There are some articles at Sun about producing TreeTables in Java.
I remember developing a TreeTable using the sample code as a great starting point, but these articles are 10 years old now so you may want to approach with a little caution.
If you'd like something newer there is the NetBeans Outline Component.
You can achieve this kind of thing by using and configuring the JTreeTable from SwingX project.
Where is the best place to find custom compnonents? Ideally a repository, as opposed to finding a few here and there. We are currently about to re-design our look and feel UI for about 200 forms and we were hoping to find a lot of custom components... We were told they were everywhere by the pre-sales architect but even a simple google search returns nothing.
If you use Oracle ADF 11i Faces, you have over 100 Components out of the box (According to the Oracle site even over a 150 Ajax-enabled JSF components). Try using these first (could be better than custom components).
