Far Away

I short update from abroad. Unfortunately I am in Europe and stuck with a dial-up connection which drives me nuts. Since more than 10 years I did not use a dial-up connection to the Internet and so this is sort of a culture shock. Eventually I will be back and then I can recover from the pain and enjoy a fast and reliable Internet.

Have fun - Andy

Guilder POC is released, Uff

As announced today at the LA-JUG I released the POC of the Guilder Project. You can read about it and also download the installer from: https://madplanet.com/trac/guilder

Basically Guilder indents to replace Maven 2 bringing back some of the great features of Maven 1 as well as adding new and hopefully cool features. The project is written in Groovy including the POM, the Plugins and the core code. Guilder builds itself using its own code.

This release is just a proof of concept and an invitation for you guys to give feedback to decide on the future of the project.

Last Blog Entry before the Guilder Proof of Concept Release

After some back and forth with the Plugin management, dependent goals and trying to make the installation using IzPack work I am finally close to release the Proof of Concept Version of Guilder. The last step is to provide some example projects that a user can use to evaluate Guilder and to have some ideas on how to apply it to their projects if someone dares. Unfortunately the core build system is a bad example because I had to use some tricks to make it build itself and so I need to emphasis this on these files and also provide some other example that are better suited.keep on reading here
