Two weeks ago, all Scala projects required a little bit of extra configuration to point to a custom repository for Scala artifacts hosted at scala-tools.org. Today, Scala artifacts are now available directly from Central. The contents of scala-tools.org are now integrated into the Sonatype OSS repository hosting service, and other projects have started to publish artifacts Central.

I’m a big fan of unit tests (Surprise). When ever possible I practice TDD. I like how that approach coerces me into making smaller classes, less dependencies, cleaner abstractions. And of course I love it when my unit tests catch a regression before I even start the application.

In my previous life as a consultant, one of our clients hired us to "increase the code coverage" of their code base. We would not develop any new features or make any changes. They just wanted us to write tests. Basically they wanted us to bring the coverage up to 70%. Why 70% you may ask. Probably because someone pulled a finger out of his or her back orifice, sniffed it and thought: Hmm.. this definitely smells like 70%.

In the world of software engineering code reviews can end up in pointless engagements of conflict. Developers can bicker over silly little things, offend each other and occasionally catch a bug that probably would have being caught in QA anyway - that conflict free zone around the corner!

This post is a reminder to everyone using build tools that rely on Central: take time to proxy Central with a repository manager.

A little while ago I posted an article called Findability is just So Last Year,
in which I argued that the current focus (dare I say fixation) of the
search community on findability was somewhat limiting, and that in my
experience (of enterprise search, at...

Configuration Management was always my passion.
Somehow, I have always had this thing for builds. I don’t know why,
it just happens to be that way. Over the last 10 years I have accepted
various development positions, but very few were actually related...

There are a number of ways you can monitor the progress of your
Grails build: using the Hudson / Jenkins web app; or leveraging the API:

Over the last two days I’ve read the old Java code of a board game. Although the game
still compiles and works (it even works on a Zaurus device) the code
itself is horrible: no unit tests, thread issues, a lot of static usages
and mixed...

Almost everybody understands that source code belongs in version
control. Many people understand we need to test our code. Quite a few do
that automatically.
But everything seems to change when it comes to databases. A lot of
stuff in and around databases...
