After having published a number of posts on Maven and integration between Maven and eclipse in particular, I have been thinking for a while to summarize some best practices in a post. I have found that these best practices are actually too long and too interdependent to fit nicely in
Problem Today I came across a strange error when generating eclipse metadata using maven. Running "mvn eclipse:eclipse" results in : [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-eclipse-plugin:2.8:eclipse (default-cli) on project mxGWTUtils: Execution default-cli of goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-eclipse-plugin:2.8:
Although an SVN server is possibly a fixed anchor in dynamic and distributed development efforts, even these servers might have to be relocated from time to time.

Disruptive technological innovations often originate from surprisingly small beginnings**.** Giants of the Internet age such as the omnipresent Google search engine and the Facebook social networking platform have initially been designed and developed by small and independent teams. These examples are attractive to design science researchers in information systems, who
The Problem You have to write a Word Document, which should contain snippets of code. The code should be displayed using syntax highlighting following established rules for your programming language of choice.

I have already written about how to change the directory of applications deployed in tomcat 7 by configuring the server.xml. However, there is an easier way to change the deployment directory using the tomcat manager. 1. Deploy the WAR file using tomcat manager's web upload feature (make
Problem IdentityHashMap in Google Web Toolkit (2.2.0) JavaScript applications does not seem to work correctly, if String objects are used as key. Source Code: final IdentityHashMap<Object, List> idsFromObjects = new IdentityHashMap<Object, List>(); final String node1 = "Node 1"; final String id = "
The Problem GWT (Google Web Toolkit) allows compiling Java into JavaScript source. I like to use it to create client-only JavaScript applications (this can be very useful for testing purposes). The GWT compiler will place all the compiled JavaScript sources in your project directory and the applications can be tested
Widgets in GWT are essentially elements in the DOM tree of a web document. GWT widgets enable convenient control over these elements. For instance, a call of the widget method setSize(String width, String height) will set the dimensions of the HTML element underlying the widgets. Values to define the
