In the past weekend I've been able to improve the settings for automated Maven releases that I've blogged about about ten days ago. Peter Mount complemented the information with some practical examples on how to use that stuff invoking Maven with the proper parameters.

With the newcomer Vaadin module I updated the Arena Project script to support builds on Windows platform. Not a big deal in terms of configuration but it is worthy a notification in case you had tried to build the project before and got frustrated with the Platform Classifier restricted to the UNIX-family. Why to use Platform Classifiers? The lack of a good Maven support for the Glassfish...

After the latest upgrade of my Hudson instance, I noticed that a new option in the security matrix appeared: it allows anonymous visitors to have a (read only) look at a job configuration, if the administrator allows it. I think it's a great feature (that I was asking for some months ago), as it allows to share our knowledge about our favourite CI tool.So I've opened most of my jobs and you can...

YouDebug is a debugger but it's not a debugger. It's a debugger, because it builds on top of Java Platform Debug Architecture, and therefore is capable of doing everything your debugger can do — such as attaching to another process, breaking when certain conditions are met, inspect/manipulate variables, and so on. But at the same time, it's not your typical debugger, because it's not interactive. Instead of using point-and-click and GUI. You don't need source code either. Instead, it comes with a DSL-like syntax sugar on top of Groovy that controls what YouDebug would do against the target program

When you need to produce lots of fairly straightforward graphs, Java2D is your friend. In this blog, I show you how you can render simple images as crisp-looking PDF or EPS files, provided you can draw them on a Graphics2D object. Recently, I had to draw a bunch of simple images, such as this one or this PDF Of course, you can do these drawings in Illustrator or Inkscape. But if you are a coder...

When I started the mavenization of my projects, in July, I really didn't figure out that it would have been such a painful and long process. It is literally consuming me - also because I'm longing to see the end of the conversion, so I can resume the development. The first mavenized projects, BetterBeansBinding, jrawio and Mistral, were reasonably easy, also considering that I had to...
