Apache Wink

By Gene De Lisa | Published: March 10, 2010

Apache Wink is an incubating project that will allow you to write RESTful JAX-RS (JSR-311) web apps – like Jersey. Read what Dr. Fielding has to say about what is REST and what’s not. DeveloperWorks has a recent article on Apache Wink. They do a commendable thing by giving instructions on how to “materialize” the [...]

jetty maven version 7 beta woes

By Gene De Lisa | Published: August 18, 2009

So I gave the beta of the jetty maven plugin a try. What I had was this: 1 2 3 <groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId> <artifactId>maven-jetty-plugin</artifactId> <version>6.1.19</version> I changed it to this which is the most current available version in the repos: 1 2 <artifactId>jetty-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>7.0.0.1beta3</version> N.B. for maximum cognitive dissonance the jetty guys thought it would be a [...]

JSF 2.0 is out.

Maven profiles : filtering for hsqldb and MySQL

By Gene De Lisa | Published: March 22, 2009

Many developers like to use a lightweight embedded database such as Hsqldb or Derby in their development environment.

Maven pom for Spring Integration samples

By Gene De Lisa | Published: November 18, 2008

How many poor suckers have wasted time configuring Maven to run the examples for the Spring Integration project? The sources are in a jar included in the download. I’d post a complete maven project but I don’t want to hear from any lawyers. Here is the POM that I slapped together. 1 2 3 4 [...]

maven and log4j

By Gene De Lisa | Published: October 23, 2008

For some reason log4j 1.2.15 has a compile time dependency on JMX even if you’re not going to compile log4j. Go figure. I’m not the first one to point this out since there is a bug report issued. What’s worse is that the jars are not in any maven repository due to Sun licensing restrictions. [...]

Maven and RAD 7.5

By Gene De Lisa | Published: October 3, 2008

RAD 7.5 was just released and I just installed it. Lots of improvements. It’s based on Eclipse 3.4 now. One glitch. I use the Maven plugin on many projects. I cannot install the POM editor. That’s mostly OK with me since I just use the XML editor but sometimes I like to have a second [...]

Maven plugin for Eclipse

By Gene De Lisa | Published: July 23, 2008

The m2Eclipse plugin has been accepted into the Eclipse Foundation.  Perhaps this will push development along. Already there is a ton of new features in the current release – along with decent documentation! Thanks! The update site at codehaus is still alive but it looks like the new versions will be at http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/update/ and for [...]
