Artikels over Java
In the first 2 parts of this series on Gradle, we have migrated a simple project from Maven to Gradle, and written a custom task and plugin for use in our future builds. Today, we are going to deploy the plugin to a repository, and then add the other parts of the MoneyPile project to a multimodule build. At the end of this post, our build will create a war-file and we will be able to run the webapplication from the build file, using an embedded Jetty application server.

I was complaining on Twitter today about the lack of a Maven repository for java projects hosted on Google Code. Well, it turns out you can actually set up your own Maven repository in your Subversion tree! I found some references to the Maven Wagon SCM plugin, but you can use the WebDav plugin just [...]

WaveMaker is a very impressive tool, a great showcase for what a modern browser can do, and if writing CRUD applications is your thing, it’s brilliant. Its limited Java services functionality and sometimes poor reliability keep it from being useful for serious enterprise projects however.
