Seems it was just that the OWB snapshot was updated and had some added/changed/removed methods.

Yep, IDEA and mac.

Love bash.  Frequently use it to automate common tasks.  Best resource for that, http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/.  

Think I would die without 'sort' and 'uniq'.  Frequently use 'perl -i -pe' to scrub files.  Or plain 'perl -pe' instead of 'sed' -- perl is just better all around.  On the mac you can manipulate the clipboard with pbcopy/pbpaste -- love those.  The 'ack' command line tool is pretty good. Nothing like 'cut -c 2-' to scrape off the first character of 'svn status'.

Emacs is very convenient for exploring jar files -- try it, it's pretty cool.

On occasion I'll whip out a bit of bash/perl to generate some code.

  basic bash template https://gist.github.com/727267
  basic perl template https://gist.github.com/727271

Was relying pretty heavily on this script, but it broke recently.  Probably easy to fix, just haven't had the time:

Those are some of my random tidbits.
