  • Maven is going where, you say?

    Warner asks Is Maven going away?
    Gee, I wish someone had told me, considering I’ve been spending an increasing amount of time on it again recently.
    I see daily postings on either the love or hate of Maven, mostly containing no really new insight. At the risk of taking the bait, there were two reasons I thought […]

  • Eclipse and Maven: IAM and m2e complete creation review

     It’s a good day for Eclipse and Maven users, with two integration projects passing creation review to enter the incubator at Eclipse:

    The Eclipse Integration for Apache Maven (IAM)
    The m2eclipse Project

    With both projects growing in maturity every day and each with their own unique features and focus, Maven users should look forward to two good choices […]

  • Apache Archiva goes live!

    Archiva became a top level project at the Apache Software Foundation in March, and we’re now rounding out the move of some of the resources. The web site has moved to http://archiva.apache.org/, and the mailing lists have moved to the same domain.
    The project continues to grow - we’ve just added our first committer as a […]

  • Maven and Subversion at STI, Philippines

    Back to school! I had the opportunity to sit in on a class last Saturday at STI in Cubao. Exist participates in an Open Source Engineering elective there, and while a number of subjects are taught, last weekend was about Subversion and Maven. The purpose of these half-day training sessions is to instruct the instructors […]

  • Apache Maven 2.0.9 Released

    It must be release season, because now Apache Maven 2.0.9 is out. As far as point releases go, this is a big one with 62 fixes and improvements, and foundational support for toolchains in plugins. This is the best version of Maven available and a highly recommended upgrade. Kudos to the whole team that was […]

  • WTP support added to Q for Eclipse

    A nice surprise this morning was waking up to a message from Abel that he has implemented basic WTP support (for dynamic web applications only) in Q for Eclipse’s development version. I fired it up, imported my Archiva pom.xml files and it worked first go deploying to Tomcat.
    Check out the screencast (mirror) he put together for […]

  • Being reminded of the benefits of a community in open source

    To anyone that has worked in a healthy open source community, this will seem like a no-brainer, but sometimes it’s good to be reminded of the real benefits when you involve a community of diverse developers in what you’re doing.
    Earlier in the week, Joakim brought up the discussion topic on the Archiva Development List about […]

  • Working around –non-interactive problems in Leopard’s Subversion

    Apparently, the –non-interactive flag is broken in Subversion as distributed with Leopard and a fix is not yet available. Bad news for Maven users wanting to use any of the SCM tools.
    Hopefully a fix will be available either through an update or a version of Subversion that can be compiled from source, but in the […]

  • Experimental Maven support for condensed POMs using attributes

    As I’ve just posted to the Maven developers list, I’ve always wanted to see an attribute based POM, so based on Nicolas’ suggestion I killed some time after waking up early this morning to do it.
    Here’s what you’ll need to try it:

    a build: http://people.apache.org/~brett/apache-maven-2.0.9-SNAPSHOT-terse-bin.tar.gz
    or if you prefer to roll your own, the source: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/components/branches/maven-2.0.x-terse

    The issue […]

  • Searching Archiva with Quicksilver

    I run my own Archiva server to keep an offline repository of artifacts so that I can safely nuke my local repository at any time and to have a more typical set up.
    I have’t written any Quicksilver actions before, but experimented with this one very quickly the other day - let me know if you […]
