  Bristle template: when you don’t have time to do your Moustache 

  Usually I generate my pages with Velocity. Recently I had a project where even implementing Velocity was not worth the time. I tried both MessageFormatter and StringTemplates and both had problems with some portion of HTML/Javascript markup.

  So I did what we, engineers always do in this situation: run your own. Good news, it took just over an hour and I ended with a single very small file. It  can only variable substitution but that was enough for me. Here it is:

  http://codebistro.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/misc/src/main/java/org/codebistro/util/BristleTemplate.java

  The best part: it has no dependencies so you can just copy file into your project and template away.

  Of course you can Maven just as well:

      <repositories>
          ...
          <repository>
              <id>codebistro-open</id>
              <name>codebistro-open repo</name>
              <layout>default</layout>
              <url>http://codebistro.googlecode.com/svn/repo/</url&gt;
          </repository>
          ...
      </repositories>
      ...
      <dependencies>
          ...
          <dependency>
              <groupId>org.codebistro.util</groupId>
              <artifactId>misc</artifactId>
              <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
          </dependency>
       <dependencies>

  Microframeworks are popular these days. This thing doesn’t even qualify to be called micro- or even nano- but I got a feeling I am going to use Bristle template in the future…

  Google+: “Oops, you need a google profile to use this feature” and a workaround 

  Update: This is no longer relevant. Google+ allows to log in with a Google Apps account.

  I use my custom domain name Google Apps account as my primary email. I still have Google account and Google profile but I am not logged into this account by default.

  So when I go to http://google.com/+ I get this dreaded error message:

  

  Oops, you need a google profile to use this feature

  I found a workaround to this problem. The solution requires that a) you have a “regular” Google Account (…@gmail.com) and b) this account should be enabled the “Sign in to multiple Google Accounts” feature (thanks Paul for the tip) :

  1. Go to any profile page on Google plus:

  

  2. Click on the Account -> Switch Accounts menu:

  

  3. Select the Google Account (not the Google Apps account) or log into your Google Account:

  

  Bingo! Your Google plus is now working!

    Good tip – note that you will need ‘Sign in to multiple Google Accounts’ enabled before you can see the ‘Switch Account’ link. You will find the switch on your google account page.

    Did they block this workaround? or is this also subject to throttling? As it doesn’t work for me atm..

    I am signed into my Gmail and my Google Apps email and I see the posts on the person’s profile (as I did before) but still with no comment/+1/follow buttons on the page.

      Just checked — works as it was. Guess you need to “Switch account” to your Gmail one. Just logging in won’t cut it

    This is no longer working.
    I did the following
    1) enabled multi account login on both my
    accounts
    2) logged into my apps account
    3) switched to my regular account
    still get the same message

      Jake —

      Just checked it again in a fresh ‘incognito’ window on Chrome — works for me just as it did. Did you try to clean cookies?

      Thanks,

    I tried this and it was a no-go. Cleaned cookies, etc. Wonder if the two step authentication I enabled is messing about somewhere in Google’s entrails. Ah well, it’ll be available officially for apps users soon (or so the word goes)

    Unfortunately doesn’t work for me because my personal Google account wasn’t set up as @gmail.com, but rather using my own domain. That personal account and the Apps account were separate logins (with the same email address) but now they’ve been merged so I can’t log in using that identity as a “personal” user anymore. Hopefully Google fixes these login issues soon.

      Andrew, I am in exactly the same situation: I have my GA and Gmail accounts linked. Did you try to login into http://gmail.com directly?
