I have been struggling with this error a lot of times. The solution is rather simple. Open the MANIFEST.MF file of your .jar file and add these lines:
Implementation-Vendor: Sun Microsystems, Inc
Implementation-Title: Java Runtime Environment
Implementation-Version: 1.6.0
The reason behind this error is simple. ImageIO needs to read some of these parameters. And if they aren’t set you get a null pointer exception.

If you want to install MongoDB on your Linux machine you should not use the default package handler. Instead download the tarball from this site. I tried installing MongoDB from my repositories at first, then I found out later that I had to manually install it to get it working with MongoTemplate in Spring. When you install the database, remember to create the folder /data/db on your system. All the dbs you create are stored there:
$ sudo mkdir -p /data/db/ $ sudo chown `id -u` /data/db

I have been having a lot of trouble getting Battlefield 3 stable on my computer. I’ve been experiencing triangular artifacts acting wierd, and most annoying, regular crashes. I have a Gainward Geforce 580 GTX graphics card. The solution that worked for me was simply to clock down the card from 783MHz to 583 MHz. I used a program called EXPERTool to do this. EXPERTool is developed by Gainward and is recommended for use on their card. There are several other methods of underclocking a graphics card. Search for it on Google, add your graphics card name on to the search string.

After a lot of struggling and frustration getting Android SDK, Maven and Eclipse working together I have decided to create the ultimate tutorial. I have not found a single page online describing how all the pieces should work together. I have only found bits and pieces of information at various sites. So this should be a post merging it all together. Read on if you want to know how I got it working. My goal is to create a post containing everything from installation requirements to getting the first project up and running.
