Managing multiple Maven versions

Posted by Chris Custine in Java, Maven, development on November 2nd, 2009

Lately I’ve been using Apache Maven 3.0 snapshots to test build compatibility on ServiceMix, Karaf and some of the other projects I work on. I’m also using 2.0.9, 2.0.10, and 2.2.1 to replicate customer environments and build servers, so it gets to be a real pain in the ass to change these around all the time. To make my life easier, this weekend I hacked up a Maven version of the awesome setjdk and defaultjdk commands written by David Blevins for Mac OSX (if you’re on a Mac and not using these scripts, you should be).

Generated Sequence Diagrams

Posted by Chris Custine in Java, development on December 5th, 2007

I saw this tool used in some Doxygen docs recently and I knew immediately that it would be indispensable for generating sequence diagrams for online docs on wikis. I’ll wrap it in a confluence macro and post here when its all done (unless someone points me to an existing implementation). It would also be fantastic to have a Java port of this, but I won’t be picky.

So as in the example, this:

# MSC for some fictional process
msc {  a,b,c;  a->b [ label = "ab()" ] ;
    b->c [ label = "bc(TRUE)"];
    c=>c [ label = "process(1)" ];
    c=>c [ label = "process(2)" ];
    ...;
    c=>c [ label = "process(n)" ];
    c=>c [ label = "process(END)" ];
    a<<=c [ label = "callback()"];
    ---  [ label = "If more to run", ID="*" ];
    a->a [ label = "next()"];
    a->c [ label = "ac1()\nac2()"];
    b<-c [ label = "cb(TRUE)"];
    b->b [ label = "stalled(...)"];
    a<-b [ label = "ab() = FALSE"];
}
