YYYeeesssss! You make me laugh @javaposse .. #
#stackoverflow used to be great but quality of questions is seriously deteriorating. Using it less and less. #

OSCON has been long been one of THE places the open source community comes together. This year OReilly is hosting a special OSCON Java conference in parallel for the large open source Java community. And for me this is going to be the first year at OSCON and I will be presenting too. I will bring a bit of Android to the conference…

Writing a book about #hudsonci I end up doing a whole lot more with the community. Exciting times! http://goo.gl/6uA80 #
Great work! ♻ @jvanzyl: Sonatype's Maven 3.x integration has been merged into Hudson master. #
If google is seriously building a new Java build system, they sure got a serious case of #notinventedhere syndrom. #fail #
You can just build it yourself. The sdk tools are FULLY open source! ♻ @michaelg: @droidxav Please release this now #
So true. I am not holding my breath for it. ♻ @rgladwell: when will Google play nice with their open source projects? http://bit.ly/mktk1S #
yes.. shame and #fail .. they need a community manager ♻ @rgladwell: how google treat code, it's a real shame #
Better late than never Howdy Stacy♻ @BZK80: Welcome to Twitter, @BZSBurris! #
Totally!♻ @donnfelker: Huge morale boost: Work on stuff you REALLY care about 1-2 hours a day. You'll get a lot done and feel a ton better. #
ROFL♻ @jamescarr: OH: "I don't think git applies for environments like ours, with many teams and a high level of collaboration" Wait. What? #
I propose anybody who sends an autoresponder answer to a mailing list to get fired. Do it. #
One of those features you can never live without after you got used to it. ♻ @avolovoy: git stash is sent from heaven #

Hudson – Book, Changes and Community

Published on 2011/06/13 in Apache Maven and Java Development. 4 Comments Tags: Apache Maven, Continuous Integration, Hudson, Jenkins.

A long time ago I started to use continuous integrations (CI) servers starting with anthill and moving via Apache Continuum and Atlassian Bamboo to Hudson. Since then I feel that a project without CI builds is missing a crucial bit of infrastructure and communication tool, that can not be underestimated in value. And then earlier this year the opportunity to write on a book about Hudson presented itself to me…

I am not surprised. Competition will be good for both projects @InfoQ: Jenkins Not Interested in Hudson Reconciliation http://bit.ly/koXV92 #
Awesome! Congrats! ♻ @droidxav: ADT 11 is out. http://bit.ly/lbTEqh #androiddev #
Really looking forward to some of the new features #maven 3.1 codenamed Dyson will introduce. Watching the presentation from @jvanzyl now. #
Download will come in the next days from @sonatypecm RT @rgladwell: @simpligility is there a url for that #maven 3.1 presentation? #
Nope… flex work times are much better. @arpit @androidsNsheep #
Thanks… that goes on the list ♻ @burke_eric: . @simpligility "Coders at Work" by Seibel. Amazing book. #
But also .. Do! Don't just think. ♻ @alkarim: Think. Don't just do. #
Getting some good progress going on the #hudson book. #
Yeah… its sad that he keeps getting attention for his FUD @fredgrott: Florian Muller enemy of Common Sense http://t.co/edM4474 #
Good intro to CI! Only omission is that #hudsonci is still alive and well. @netcasts: FLOSS Weekly 169: Jenkins http://t.co/OVr2sJ4” #
Jira bulk operations and email notifications are a dangerous combination. A big #fail to myself. #
Feedback and outlook for @AnDevCon for my #maven and testing presentations http://goo.gl/e02Ln #robolectric #robotium #hudsonci #
So with OpenJDK being gplv2 and becoming the reference implementation for Java.. imho it should become the class library on #android #
Congrats! @aschwart: Woohoo! http://t.co/o88aEIK "Please welcome Brian Leathem to JSR-344" #jsf2 #jsr344 @b #
So @motodev whats up with the 3.1 update for the wifi xoom? #android #

AnDevCon feedback and outlook

How time flies! I am so busy working on my clients Android application and the book about the Hudson continuous integration server that my blogging got a bit neglected. In the frenzy I did manage to work on a whole bunch of pull requests for the Maven Android Plugins upcoming releases and get involved again in AnDevCon. Yeah.. AnDevCon was a great conference earlier this year and my feedback is on the site for the upcoming AnDevCon 2 in November. And I will be there again. But let’s start with more from AnDevCon 1.

The secret to working with git in a team first and foremost is to create branches… lots of them #
Tracking the progress of @hudsonci moving to #eclipse is easy with this page http://goo.gl/bu9sb #
No problem ;_) ♻ @rgladwell: I love it when a pull request comes together http://bit.ly/lSr7BU #
Tip for @hudsonci #maven users: Don't use the Maven2/3 job type. It has too many issues. Use the freestyle build step! #
rofl.. ♻ @timbray: D9 pitch: Conversations with “thought leaders”. Such as, CEOs of HP & Nokia, Msft Windows VP. Um… #
App works on tablet size just fine.But taking advantage of it to the full extent is another step. Love #android support for it. #
I like this model of thinking beyond the mere commercial success of a company. http://bit.ly/kGdHvy #
