… is like Alice climbing through the rabbit hole.

I just connected to a db, did a query from a table and printed out a selection of columns in just
2 lines of code, yes TWO LINES!

Recently I had following problem. I had a bunch of jar-files and I had to find out which jar-file was holding a specific class.

This is a common task, because your java-code told you that a class XY was not in you classpath, so you would have to search for it, if you don’t know already where to find it.

Since I had to do it already 2 times and as I am learning groovy I decided to write a short groovy-script
(are there long groovy-scripts?) which allows me to do that.

It is pretty straight-forward so here it is: searchJar.groovy

I am playing around with hudson as a integration server.

So far it is very nice and intuitiv, you can even trigger builds by email, mobile etc! And just
yesterday it has groovy-console builtin for monitoring maven2-builds!

Isn’t it a good day when you recover that your new tools already know each other?

Although I have to admit that hudson lacks some features I would like to have such as
access-control per project. For now there is an access-control (LDAP, Matrix-like etc) for the whole build-server…

Here is one of my ‘bad experience’-stories about using leopard, be prepared!

Last week I decided to install ubuntu and turn my macbook into a triple boot system. The reason was curiosity of how well this can be acomplished.

But it went bad, very bad…. Mehr…

First I took it for serious, but when i read about SchrödingerException
I could not help laughing.

My other favorite tough was ‘import *;‘

I would like to quote from Don Brown, right, that guy that intends to ‘make maven not suck’:

Open Source lives and dies, in my opinion, by the willingness of hackers to fix what annoys them.

It seems to me, maven makes quite a buzz nowadays. I just read another RSS-Feed
which praises the maven site-generation:
