Configuring a Seam EJB project for development with Maven and JBoss Tools
Posted by Maarten Winkels in the late afternoon: June 6th, 2009
Say you want to build a web application and you want to use Seam for integrating standard technologies like JSF and EJB. Furthermore, you want to use the power of Maven to build your project for different environments, on different systems (like you continuous build system) and use its' rich reporting features to get an overview of the code quality of your project. And of course you want to use a good IDE, like Eclipse with JBoss tools to aid you in development. How does one go about setting up all these things?

Watch out when filtering resources with Maven
Posted by Boudewijn van Klingeren in the early evening: November 2nd, 2008
At my current project we are using Maven 1.1 for creating build artifacts. Although a little bit outdated these days, it still works well. As Maven 2 this version also has the option of filtering resources (e.g. XML or properties files) to substitute certain keywords with values specified in properties files and/or the command line. We are using it for a number of reasons and it works perfectly… if properly used, off course.
Readable url’s in Wicket - An introduction to wicketstuff-annotation
Posted by Jeroen van Wilgenburg around lunchtime: October 9th, 2008
Have you ever tried to pronounce a url generated by Wicket? It’s quite a tedious job and often end users want to have understandable url’s (even when that url has no meaning).
It’s is quite easy to get normal url’s in Wicket. In this article I’ll show you several solutions, the first two with plain Wicket and the final solution is with wicketstuff-annotations.
Beware of transitive dependencies… For they can be old and leaky
Posted by Jeroen van Erp around lunchtime: September 15th, 2008
In many JEE apps today, you almost cannot forgo XML. Whether it is in configuration, data structures or service interfaces, you will certainly use a number of XML files. In a recent project we had to deal with a number of external services which used an XML interface. Little did we know that we introduced a potential time-bomb in our application... (more...)
What’s in a name…
Posted by Lars Vonk mid-morning: August 28th, 2008
Using descriptive names is a good programming practice. Today I came across an example that does quite the opposite. In Maven 2 you can define a proxy when you are working behind a proxy server, and there is this active flag that sets this proxy to active or inactive.... or at least that is what you expect right?
Using Groovy to keep your Maven and Fitnesse dependencies in sync
Posted by Erik Pragt around lunchtime: July 29th, 2008
The problem
What if you're working with Maven, where you've got all your dependencies nicely organised, and now you decide to use any other piece of 'classpath-aware' software, like Fitnesse. The chances are that you'll need to use the same classpath in Fitnesse as in Maven. A possible solution could be to maintain it by hand, but why not write a very small script for it to do it for you? My (very very very!) basic solution is to use a Groovy, because it's easy to write, easy to read, and easy to use!

Maven2 Dashboard Plugin Released
Posted by Jeroen van Erp in the wee hours: March 27th, 2008
Quality is an everyday part of the life of a Xebia software developer. One of the ways to get insight into quality is by looking at metrics like FindBugs, PMD, Simian, Code Coverage, etc. With large software products consisting of different modules, quality assurance can become quite a trying task. This means that tools which alleviate this burden are a welcome addition to our toolbox.

Spring with Stripes - A Maven Based Sample Code
Posted by Balaji D Loganathan at around evening time: March 4th, 2008
The purpose of this post is to give a Maven based sample code of Spring with Stripes integration. The source code set is already in Eclipse project format, so you can use eclipse to view files content and structure.
This post will not explain about the techniques of integrating spring with stripes. The spring with stripes integration is very well explained at Stripes framework wiki page - Spring with Stripes. I kindly suggest you to read that documentation first before trying out the sample code given in this post. This post also assume that you are familiar with the basics of Maven, Eclipse, Stripes and Spring.
Few of the other "How to" samples (like Ajax addition, addition, echo, stripes layout reuse) that were documented in Stripes framework wiki page were also included in this sample code.
