High and low about Java and Web programming
Today, as many other days I had assigned myself a task from Jira and started to work. First, by checking what to do and then I started to write the complementary JUnit tests to get the tests to break. Is it not great!? Ofcource, it’s even more fun to be able to write whishful failing [...]
This book is a must have in a team of developers. It doesn’t really bring you much new stuff but it sure is a good collection of the tools you need at a dayly basis. I learned some new JUnit 4 and TestNG stuff today actually, the way test data can be set up in [...]
but I find myself involved in firefighting most of the time at work. We are shortstaffed with a high maintenence burden and I don’t know how we will take ourselves out of this. I was not a part of creating this situation but I hope I will be a part of the solution.
First, learn to [...]
We have a few things we would like to have done in and around the project. Should we spread the word that we would like to refactor other parties code (and maybe also do it) or should we just make some rumours appear that we are about to do something. I think the small difference [...]
This week I tried these two Eclipse plugins at work.
I wasn’t so happy with EclEmma but maybe I just didn’t get the settings right. Would have been nice to have see the result just by looking at a production code file. Running the coverage tests all the time is going out of the way to [...]
I stated in some earlier post that this year was going to be all about quality. I have started the long road where the goal is mainly the quality of my own work, but I also aim to be a good force and try to help whoever needs it (even if they don’t express it [...]

So, reading the book Clean Code is kind of a new start for me and I DO LIKE IT. I also try to act on it [...]
This was was not a good combination earlier but now with the Sonatype Eclipse add-on m2eclipse it is easy to start or import a maven project into Eclipse. Either import as is or use one of many archetypes for Struts2 or other well known frameworks.
The tools also gives you nice tools for dependency hierarchy and [...]
This tutorial shows a simple way to get started with a Java web application at Jetty server with maven2 as build tool. Ok, so it’s for Windows but it should not be hard to port the non platform independent commands to other platforms.
1) Install Java
Download a Java Jdk version from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/, for example Java SE [...]
Took a look at some of the slides from Devoxx08 and found a few very interresting things (http://www.devoxx.com/display/JV08/Conference+slides). Among others, “Zero Turnaround in Java Development - by Jevgeni Kabanov” that you really should act on.
I’m joining a new project this week and I’ll try to add some pressure in this area if I get the [...]
