It’s another day, which means another gradle tip. I have been experimenting with JMX lately and using MBeanExporter to export spring beans so that I can interact with them over JMX (specifically, stopping and starting rabbitMQ consumers). I can get this working on any container easily enough but I really wanted to get it working [...]

My Current Java Workflow
September 9th, 2011

I thought I’d share the current workflow I have been using at work and why I think it’s been a pretty decent scheme so far. For this post I’m only covering jar deployment but I could see it easily working the same for gems or node.js npm packages. Just for a bit of background, here’s [...]

Yesterday evening I fooled around with gradle quite a bit, finally sitting down and taking some time to learn it as I’ve been hearing lots of good things about it. And man, I like it! I decided to use it to build the kind of project that enterprise architects go ga-ga over: a multi module [...]
