Here’s what i’m currently playing:
Anything else you’d suggest i should try?
Reading Apache Maven 2 Effective Implementation
Thanks to Amit Sharma (of Packt Publishing), I recently got a copy of Apache Maven 2 Effective Implementation authored by Brett Porter and Maria Odea Ching.
The book has proven to be an interesting read so far (even for an advanced maven user), covering a lot of important (and sometimes little known) plugins. Its best practices chapter along with the real-life advices/tips that are found throughout the book are a must read. On the other hand, I would really have liked to see a chapter or appendix covering maven support in IDEs + I must admit don’t have much of respect for Archiva (that’s based on a few weeks interaction i had with it 3 years ago – perhaps things have improved?) which is covered in detail in the book, along with Continuum.
Anyway, expect a complete review soon.

Maven and slow dependencies report
If the dependencies report takes too long to finish, it could be due to maven trying to determine (and generate a report of) which repository contains which artifact… and the network and/or repos being slow or unreachable.
In any case, here’s how you can short-circuit that process:
mvn -Ddependency.locations.enabled=false site |
On Feb 14 (yep, that was the Valentine’s day), i did a Maven presentation for out local Java User Group, and it looks like it was very well received (which is great cause i was terribly nervous at the begining ).
Nigel, why did Kasparov retire from chess?
He’s someone who is very intelligent … but you never know which mood he is going to be in.
Some days he will treat you like his long-lost brother. The next day he ignores you completely.
I have seen him totally drunk and singing Ukrainian poetry and then the next day I have seen him give an impressive talk.
For a while he was trying to learn Turkish. Don’t ask me why … Every day is a surprise with him.
Quick maven tip for downloading sources of a specific dependency
This may come in handy. since on big projects with many dependencies it may take a while to download ALL sources. So, here is an example:
mvn dependency:sources -DincludeGroupIds=org.apache.tapestry |
For more, see the dependency plugin docs
Μου ήρθε αρνητικός ΟΤΕ, τι κάνω???
Απίστευτο! Τόσο απίστευτο που πρώτη φορά μπλογκάρω στα Ελληνικά!
Κι όμως, μόλις έλαβα λογαριασμό -9.50 ευρώ (ΜΕΙΟΝ ΕΝΝΕΑ ΚΑΙ ΠΕΝΗΝΤΑ)… χαχα, τέλεια. Που όμως πάω να τα εισπράξω? Γιατί το μόνο που βλέπω στη πίσω πλευρά είναι : “τι πρεπει να γνωριζεται για την εξοφληση του λογαριασμου σας” – έλα όμως που εμείς θέλουμε το αντίθετο… Να υποθέσω οτι αν δεν με εξοφλήσουν εγκαιρως, δικαιούμαι και τόκους???
Και για να εξηγήσω το αρνητικό ποσό – είναι οφειλή απο προηγούμενο λογαριασμό η οποία κανονικά αφαιρείται από το ποσό του τρέχοντος. Επειδή όμως τον ΟΤΕ τον σχολάσαμε, έχουμε το απλό 0 – 9.50 = -9.50
