Using JavaRebel with Cocoon
Normally, the cocoon-maven-plugin includes a reloading classloader, so that changes to class files are automatically picked up when do mvn jetty:run. Just hit refresh and your changes get picked up. It’s just like working in PHP. This is OK, but … Continue reading
Documenting with maven
Recently, I’ve been thinking about documentation more and more. I’ve just finished up some documentation for an internal product, which was all done using the maven-site-plugin and APT. This worked reasonably well: I get a generated website, with javadocs and … Continue reading
jslint4java 1.3.1

I’m debugging a plugin for Solr. I’ve just about got the magic voodoo set up so that I can make Eclipse talk to tomcat and stick breakpoints in and so on. But I’ve immediately run into a problem. Even though … Continue reading
