Another quick late night Eclipse test hack I guess. Well it is the Java application that I use the most, meaning at least 9-10 hours per day. In my case it is a long running instance, I try to garbage collect once in a while and in general I am pissed when I do have a crash or delays, since I am working on fairly large …

Back in June, I tried the first release of Eclipse (4.2.x) aka Juno, on my MacOSX laptop. The underlying VM on my system was JDK6 at that point. Unfortunately, the results were terrible, I was not able to complete a single line of code with no lagging and freezing in the code editor. I created a question/topic on …

I have been working with Weblogic for the past 4 years and I have to admit - like Eclipse - I have started getting used of it. I was a Netbeans / JBoss developer, and I've turned to Eclipse/ Weblogic guy. I am writing this post as …

I came across today a case where I needed to complete a unit-integration test of some quite complex enterprise Java code. Actually it was JSF backing bean with a specific inheritance chain, wired all together with some EJB's. Mockito is my library of preference for all these kinds of tests (really lovely library and …

Continuous Integration became a point of interest in the enterprise software development world, in the recent 5 to 6 years. In the Java EE case, we are happy enough to see tools and practises evolving rapidly, becoming tools of reference for other technologies and contributing the most to modern software development …

One of the things I miss from google reader is the Shared items from other users. What a wonderful feature to be blown away by the bloated Google+ eco system.
