Developer Onboarding webinar this week


July 26, 2010 By hloney

There are only a few days left to register for Sonatype’s next  Maven Studio for Eclipse webinar.  This webinar is an introduction to Maven Studio for Eclipse’s Developer Onboarding capabilities.

How much time and money are you wasting on getting new developers up to speed on a project? 

Developers sacrifice days to the inefficient process of configuring a new development environment every time they begin a new project or set up a new workstation. Maven Studio for Eclipse’s Developer Onboarding cuts the configuring time from multiple days to minutes. Developer Onboarding allows an organization to standardize and capture development environment configuration in a single location, enabling developers to start coding with a single mouse click.

The webinar takes place on Thursday July 29 at 6:00am PDT. It will be led by Blaine Mincey, Senior Systems Engineer at Sonatype. Although this webinar is free, registration is required. We look forward to you joining us this Thursday!

Sonatype at Eclipse Day, August 2010


July 19, 2010 By hloney

This August Sonatype will be presenting at Eclipse Day hosted by Google in Mountain View, California.  Each year Google hosts an Eclipse Day and puts together an agenda that includes Eclipse and Google related topics.  This year there will be presentations that feature Android, Helios, GWT, EGit, Linux Tools, Eclipse 4.0, EMF, XText and more.

Sonatype founder Jason van Zyl will be presenting on next generation development infrastructure with Maven, M2Eclipse, Nexus and Hudson.  This presentation will show how to employ best practices when using these tools individually as well as together, as a powerful set.

All development organizations eventually converge on a set of tools to reduce costs, lower onboarding time, and leverage knowledge in strong communities to create standard processes. To this end we see in many organizations the emergence of a standard development stack consisting of Maven, M2Eclipse, Nexus & Hudson. Sonatype itself leverages this stack on a daily basis and this discussion will focus not only on the tools individually, but how they can work together to create a best practices approach to building and delivering your software in your organization.

Eclipse Day takes place on August 26, 2010 in Mountain View, California.  For more information please visit the Sonatype events page.  We hope to see you there!

Google's GWT 2.0.4 Available on Maven Central (via Nexus OSS)


By hloney

Sonatype is happy to announce that Google Web Toolkit 2.0.4 jars are now available in the Maven Central repository.  The Google Web Toolkit blog explains this move in more detail:

Better maven support has been frequently requested on the issue tracker and mailing list, and this is a first step in that direction. In the future, Google will publish GWT releases to maven central as part of the release process.

The GWT 2.0.4 jars currently in the repository include gwt-user, gwt-dev, and gwt-servlet.    To publish these artifacts in the Maven Central repository, Google publishes artifacts to Nexus OSS, the Open Source oss.sonatype.org repository.   You can see the Google-specific repository on this server here.   Releases are staged to this Google repository on oss.sonatype.org and then subsequently released and synchronized to the Maven Central repository.
