Java.net blogs: Maven Mythbusters #2 – Maven requires an internet connection to delete a directory “Maven seems to be one of those topics that brings out passion in many developers. In this series of articles, I want to take a look at some of the common myths and ideas that circulate about Maven, and see how they stand up to the light of scientific examination. Last time, we looked at the idea that Maven automatically updates for every build. This time we look at another myth quoted in this article: that Maven requires an internet connection to delete a directory.” By John Ferguson Smart, on January 11, 2010

Liferay Maven SDK “Starting to recover from jetlag after a two week trip Los Angeles and Liferay retreat. One of the things we finally made some progress during the developer retreat is providing official maven artifacts for Liferay as well as porting our plugins sdk to Maven. Things are not quite completed but I will provide some instructions here for all early adopters. So our goal is to provide our CE releases through our own public repository as well as provide means for our EE customers to install the EE versions artifacts to their local maven repository.” By Mika Koivisto, On 12/15/09

And I am in fact still heavily using excellent .Net Framework. There is certainly place for both of them, no flame war intended. But you know, everyone has a favorite one. With this post I start a series of articles in which I will try to explore some really cool Java technologies, which not so long time ago made Java my framework of choice.” By Vitaliy Tsvayer, on Friday, December 11, 2009

Tomas Malmsten’s blog: Automating Android test project with Maven “The last post explored how to enable Maven builds in a standard Android Eclipse project. This post will show how to enable the test project to be built with Maven. It will be a bit simpler to enable Maven builds in the test project since we will not need to do any of the prep work. The only thing required is to create a pom file for the test project…” By Tomas Malmsten, on Thursday, December 3, 2009

Stupid Java Tricks: Spring 3.0 RESTful Web Services By Example “If you’re reading this then you’re probably aware that the new Spring 3.0 release will have REST support (If you’re not familiar with REST here is a nice intro). In this article I’m going to describe the basic steps required to quickly get a RESTful XML web service going using the latest Spring 3 release candidate (3.0.0.RC3). In future follow-up articles I will describe how to switch between JSON and XML using selectors and how to use the Spring REST Template to read RESTful web services.” By Tony, on Dec 01, 2009
