The importance of Central
One of the selling points of maven is it’s dependency mechanism. You say what code you need, and maven makes sure it’s there for you. The magic behind this is called central. It’s a phenomenal collection of software (much akin … 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
jslint4maven
A real maven plugin for jslint4java would be nice. I will write one, but until then, you can always get away with using the antrun plugin. This is fairly simple to do now that jslint4java is available in the central … Continue reading

I love the google-collections library. It’s got some really nice features. But, it’s not stable yet. They’ve explicitly stated that until they hit 1.0 it’s not going to be a stable API. So there are changes each release. Nothing major, … Continue reading
Github Pages with Maven
Github recently introduced their pages feature, for serving static content. This sounds like an ideal match for a maven , so I thought I’d give it a go. I managed to get happygiraffe.github.com/tclogview/ up and running in fairly short order, … Continue reading
JSPs in Maven
Every now & then I need to whip out a quick webapp. Normally, I would prefer to use something like freemarker or velocity. But JSP is standard, and it’s everywhere. Despite it’s inability to be secure, it is convenient. And … Continue reading
