Some thoughts about building
Over the last few days I had some thoughts about building your project. I am using Apache Maven for quite a while now. At my current employer we use Maven for all our components even our learn portal which is build entirely in Adobe Flex, using the Flexmojos. The bottom line is that we have [...]
git-ing around
The last weeks I had some spare time to play around with the Git source control management system. My interest was aroused by a vote on the Apache Tapestry mailing list to migrate the Tapestry Subversion repository into a Git repository. After a little more than a glimpse into the capabilities of Git I am [...]
Creating dynamic PDF, or another reason to like Apache Tapestry
I am using Apache Tapestry 5 on my job since February of this year. Today was another of these days when I am pretty sure why it is a good idea to use this framework.
New jaev Release
Today I made a new release of the jaev Framework for “advanced” e-mail validation. After being in productive use for quite some month now it was about time to offer a bugfix release. Some issues with domains containing no MX but an A DNS record where resolved. E-mail belonging to this kind of domains will [...]

Maven and Flex hoodoo
The last time when I blogged about the Flex mojos I was still quite frustrated and thought I had a better solution. Now some time passed and on April the 3rd the new version (3.1) of the flex mojos was released and me and some of my colleges made some interesting discoveries.
Mavenizing a Flex build
In the last week the release 1.0 platform release of scoyo came close and we were tying up some loose ends. One of these ends was the integration of the scoyo Flash/Flex portal build process into the platform build process. The platform build process is realized with Apache Maven, which is, in humble my opinion, [...]
Getting closer to 1.0
This afternoon I spend some time to take the jaev Framework closer to the 1.0 final release.
Rethinking logging
Recently I discovered something new about a thing I am using on an every day basis like most of the software engineers. It’s about logging. You may ask: “What is so exiting about logging?” In my opinion logging is one of the underestimated aspects of software development. Everyone uses it, but only very few are [...]
