I’ve said this a few times in response to people asking me to look into issues, let me explain what that means (or at least how I use it). In general, a feature requires a number of pieces to work in symphony in order to function correctly. If one of those things is incorrect, the [...]
Also tagged developmentThere needs to be some type of “You Broke It You Bought It” policy in software engineering. I just encountered a situation where a developer deleted a piece of my code in a later release, either on accident or on purpose, and somehow I’m roped back into it. I’m getting emails telling me “You need [...]
Also tagged development, source codeI switched to Netbeans probably a month or so ago for this small side project I’ve started and so far I’m digging it. However I hit a little issue that Eclipse never had a problem with. I’m using DbUnit for integration tests and I have an AbstractDbUnitIntegrationTest class that does a CLEAN_INSERT on the database [...]
Also tagged DbUnit, maven, netbeansI’ve given a number of interviews over my career and I’ve evolved the way I interview people. I’ve found that presenting people with real word problems and asking how they would approach it and what a possible solution would be is a great way test candidates chops. Remembering a bunch of APIs and methods isn’t [...]
Also tagged interview, programmingWell I gave it the old college try, which for me is a couple of hours over a few nights. My biggest issue was lack of downloadable and runnable examples. I’ve been spoiled with the Spring and jQuery documentation. Sure, there are examples, references, and (another link that I can’t find, another part of [...]
Also tagged framework, web, WicketI’ve heard about Wicket a while back but never gave it much consideration. At the time, Spring MVC was the dominent force and I have since used it successfully on a number of projects. However, I now have a greater need for component based development rather than simple action based development. So with that [...]

Netbeans has come a long way and I’m getting quite fed up with eclipse. I might spend a weekend and look at switching over.
Here are the two standards and their release dates
JMS 1.0.2b (June 25, 2001)
JMS 1.1 (March 18, 2002)
So the latest and greatest JMS standard is from 2002, in 6+ years no one has come up with something slicker. I see spring mention support for the 1.0.2 implementation, but is anyone actually using this?
Also taggedI’ve started a simple TODO type application, basically a task manager that goes something like this:
Project
Tasks
Task Items
Milestones (which are a collection of Tasks)
It’s being developed for a few reasons, none of them involve filling a niche in the commercial arena (there are a ton of these type of apps). First, I need to get more [...]
Also tagged developmentIt took me a little while but I finally found where to drop my Selenium app. Most documentaiton and HOW-TO’s are for 3.x and 4.0.x, which are different. So after reading through all the directory names that look identical at a quick glance, I noticed ROOT.war in there, which I read about in an older [...]
