Over the years I’ve read my fair share of books on various aspects of computing from operating system design through to test driven development and for the last few years I’ve also been taking MOOC’s as I like the learning style. It occurred to me that I should probably keep a list so that I can see what I need …
I’ve been setting up a Jenkins CI server for the last few days and I’m getting to the last few steps where I work out all the wrinkles and make everything play nicely together. The issue I’m fighting with at the moment I’m going to call SonarQube analysis SVN blame failure for the want of a …
As part of a new continuous integration (CI) server build I need to install a Maven repository manager or software repository. After much debate I’ve decided to go with Artifactory on Ubuntu but the choice was not easy.
This little hint is perhaps a bit vague but it’s not completely clear where the problem lies but I know what fixed it.
After a bit of a break away doing other things I’m back on a project that uses JavaFX 2. So far this project hasn’t required much in the way of persistence either for settings or data but a new feature I’m working on makes use of a database. I use JPA 2 for web based …
Neatbeans 7.3 has just been released (yeah) and, like every release it has brought a host of new bugs with it. I try not to document bugs because they tend not to be around for very long and bug databases are normally a better place to look but this one falls into the difficult to …
As a general rule I don’t include license information at the top of each source file (I’m sure a lawyer would be outraged) because no one but me should ever see the source. I’ve recently started work on an open source project though so I thought I’d best investigate how to get NetBeans to automatically …
For a while now I’ve been meaning to get Hudson installed and running but what with one thing and another I’ve always put it off (I put it down to being a lone developer). What with everything else going on things like Hudson get pushed to the back of the queue all the time even …
The final part of the Maven JavaFX build is getting NetBeans to correctly run the application. This, it turns out, is more difficult than I expected. This discussion covers a the problems quite well and is worth a read. I will admit up front that the solution I give here is not pretty, in fact …
This (hopefully) final instalment of this series of articles on building JavaFX applications with Maven will refine what was done in the previous article. The previous article got us to the point where we were able to build a stand alone JavaFX application this article aims to do that with flare and produce roughly the …
