From my point of view bootstrapping a new application is always tricky. Especially when you want to bootstrap an app that uses technology you are not yet familiar with. With this post I want to give you a step by step tutorial on how to bootstrap a Tabris application using Eclipse and Maven. So, let’s [...]

Hot on the heels of the release of RAP 2.0 the bundles have been uploaded to Maven Central. Time for another coffee break with RAP and Maven. Before you get your coffee grab the updated sample project from GitHub[1]. $ cd /tmp $ git clone git://github.com/eclipsesource/rap-maven-examples.git and trigger the Maven action: $ cd rap-maven-examples/com.eclipsesource.rap.examples.maven $ [...]

Lately I was talking with a colleague if it is possible to kickstart a RAP standalone “Hello World” example in less than a coffee break(*). Well it depends… on the content of your local Maven directory and/or your internet connection. To make this happen you should postpone getting your coffee for now. Just go to [...]

As you might know from previous posts, most of my work time has something to do with the development of REST based systems. The systems we develop are mostly written in Java. To ensure that a system works, we have a step in our continuous integration process that executes integration tests before automated deployment is [...]

For Java applications it can be quite challenging to find the required dependencies but Maven can help [...]

Eclipse has earned a reputation of being one of the best IDEs in existence. While it has become a lot more than that in many ways, its roots and its focus have always been the user facing aspects. That is probably the reasons why certain other aspects like the PDE build have been a bit [...]

In the past I have said some unkind words about about maven’s pom.xml format. My aversion to xml heavy configuration has drawn me to more lightweight approaches to build systems, like gradle for example. At the same I was intrigued: If a tool like maven is seeing such a widespread use despite its cumbersome format, [...]
