Unable to access Eclipse's secure store

Unable to access Eclipse's secure store. Please verify your secure store settings. org.eclipse.equinox.security.storage.StorageException: Unable to locate secure storage module (org.eclipse.equinox.security.windows password provider 64bit).

If you come across this error then rename the .eclipse folder inside your home to get it resolved.
This issue happens when you switch between a 32 bit and a 64 bit eclipse usually.

In my case it occurred when I switched between eclipse Indigo vs STS ide.

Today morning I received a News letter email from SpringSource about their springone conference. The email is sensational and its the first time I'm seeing such a beautifully constructed email which is really helpful too. No need to search for words to get an approval from your manager. Just edit the template.

No repository found containing: Error while updating ADT

If you come across the following errors while updating Android ADT

No repository found containing: org.eclipse.update.feature,org.eclipse.datatools.enablement.oda.feature,1.10.0.v201201161512-7A7T7CDZRDKHF_HnGjOX

Disable all the update sites except ADT and the go for Check for update one more time. It will work.

Adding and Removing Spring initialized beans from Container

Yesterday one of my friend shoot a question on Spring bean management on runtime. His requirement is to remove bean for container and register it back after doing some operation.
The idea is straight, We might run into these situations depending on our business use cases complexities.

Here is a test case code snippet to remove bean and register it again to the spring container
