Organizing Archetypes
Posted by Wilfred Springer in the late evening: October 14th, 2009
Maven archetypes are an excellent way of allowing people to create instances of a particular type of project without having them to know or worry about all of the peculiarities and details. (And the latest incarnations of the Maven Archtetype Plugin are actually way better than I realized: somewhere down the line, they introduced the ability to use Velocity templates for parameterizing the output. Nice!)

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?

Maven Dashboard integration with bamboo server
Posted by Himanshu Gupta in the early morning: January 7th, 2009
With the help of maven dashboard plugin, the dashboard is integrated with the project and the reports can be generated on local machine. One step further would be to configure the reports on the bamboo build server itself so that the reports can be viewed by everyone.
For this to happen, following changes need to be done in the configuration of bamboo plan:
- In Bamboo plan create the Maven goal "dashboard" using 'clean install site dashboard:dashboard' command and make the build JDK version to 1.5. The change in goal will make sure that at the specified time the build would run automatically and goal called “dashboard” would be executed. This will create the reports on the Bamboo server. Though the reports have been created, you can't see them yet.
- To see the reports, we'll use the artifact feature of Bamboo plan. Create a label say 'dashboard' in Bamboo plan (artifacts section) and in copy-pattern section specify '**/dashboard/**'. With this pattern, build execution will preserve the files on server and will save them with the build number. One can go and see the results of the build and also the dashboard results now by clicking on artifacts link in "Build Results Summary" page. Now the build is integrated with dashboard and one can click on link came in email results (sent from Bamboo) to view the report. However you (should be logged in already) can always use "<Bamboo server base url>/download/<project name>/artifacts/latest/Dashboard/index.html" to view the reports.
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!
