Brett PorterThoughts on Maven and Java from my corner of Sydney, AustraliaThe serious side of the Dilbert Blog- March 25, 2006 I've really been enjoying the Dilbert Blog since discovering it a little while back. There are entries pretty much daily to go along with the Dilbert comic, and Scott Adams' same sense of humour comes through, though this time applied to the real world (though it's easy to argue that the Dilbert comic is very close to the real world too sometimes!) It's often laugh-out-loud type stuff.It was good to see him take a more serious, less cynical, side today in writing about James Blake's comeback in.http://blogs.codehaus.org/people/brett/archives/001345_the_serious_side_of_the_dilbert_blo... Continuum gets a speed boost and a face lift- March 23, 2006 Continuum 1.0.3 is just around the corner, and I'm glad to mention a couple of really good improvements have cropped up recently. Apart from the other long list of fixes so far, Emmanuel has been hard at work cleaning up the JDO code, resulting in massive speed improvements on the project page, as well as when queuing and executing builds. Joel and Emmanuel also applied a new skin to the web interface, which you can see below. It's a lot more trim... If you are interested in checking it.http://blogs.codehaus.org/people/brett/archives/001342_continuum_gets_a_speed_boost_and_a_... VMWare Player saves the day- March 17, 2006 I got back into doing a small feature enhancement for Continuum the other day. There was just one problem - after I built Continuum myself and ran it, my machine dropped to a blue screen of death and rebooted. (Yes, I'm back on Windows). This was pretty strange, as running Continuum that others built work just fine, and I really didn't have time to investigate it any further.What to do Pretty hard to develop if you can't run something you build. I don't really have a separate development server.http://blogs.codehaus.org/people/brett/archives/001337_vmware_player_saves_the_day.html Re: Is all religion moronic- March 16, 2006 Ugo Cei asks "Is all religion moronic"Not usually a topic for this blog, but I've been thinking about this recently myself and wanted to comment. And not because I'm a South Park fan (it's been many years since I watched it and I was a little surprised they were still trotting out new episodes :)I actually agree with the original viewpoint that it's hypocritical to have different standards. People shouldn't be judged by other people for their beliefs, and they all deserve respect no matter how..http://blogs.codehaus.org/people/brett/archives/001336_re_is_all_religion_moronic.html Test NG and Cobertura in Maven 2- March 6, 2006 TestNG has been on my "must play with that some day" list for quite some time. Though I'm yet to write any significant tests with it, I was lucky to recently get some exposure to it to prod me along. This came in the form of support for Maven 2 contributed by Jesse Kuhnert, who not only did the initial patch but continually and patiently prodded me to look at it. I'd also listened to Cdric's JavaPosse podcast (or at least the first half, it seems to cut all the old ones off in the middle). I'd.http://blogs.codehaus.org/people/brett/archives/001334_test_ng_and_cobertura_in_maven_2.ht... |
