M2Eclipse: Maven Integration for Eclipse

Nexus 2.1.3 will add full support for RubyGem repositories with additional support for Bundler and interoperability with JRuby. Kristian Meier, who created the JRuby Maven Plugins, works with the Torquebox project, and has been dabbling with Gems ... [More] support in Nexus for over a year helped us implement this plugin. We’ve had some basic support for [...] [Less]

The New York Times had a great article this weekend that explored some of the disconnect in the industry. In “Power, Pollution and the Internet”, James Glanz writes: “[the] foundation of the information industry is sharply at odds with its image of sleek efficiency and environmental friendliness.” This article is interesting in that it calls [...]

Note: This post was inspired by Manfred’s post “You don’t do repository driven development? Where have you been?”. It immediately made me think of Star Trek… When I roll up to a new client in desperate need of build help, there’s always a chance I’ll have a “Scotty moment” – a moment when I pick [...]

Companies all over the place are trying to convert existing deployment scripts over to automated systems like Puppet and Chef.

When training the Maven Fundamentals or Advanced Maven Techniques classes or reading the Apache Maven users mailing list, it seems that again and again Maven 2 pops up. Sometimes even the long dead Maven 1 creeps up now and then.  Usually my first two questions to somebody using Maven 2 are Why? and Are you sure? The [...]

At Sonatype, the stakes are high, and so our standards must be as well. We toil over every detail of the product, tweaking, refining, until we get things just right.

Earlier this year, I wrote a piece about how it was only a matter of time until Java became a popular vector for attacks. The response to that particular article was a lot of fun for me. Let’s just say a number of high-profile, open source Java folks jumped up and down and shouted FUD. [...]

Consider, for a moment, your big corporate project that you work with every day. I know. It’s huge. I see several of these projects on a constant basis. Maybe you have one big project with multi-modules. Maybe you have a more mature approach that splits up a very large project into several multi-module projects. Whatever [...]
