NOTE: This site is no longer being actively maintained. For more up to date information about Java Power Tools, please refer to the new Java Power Tools website.

This is the "official unofficial" web site for the "Java Power Tools" book, currently being written for publication by O'Reilly. "Java Power Tools" is about software tools and techniques that can contribute to improving the SDLC (Software Development Lifecyle). This includes build tools such as Maven and Ant, CI tools, code quality tools, testing tools, collaborative tools, source version control, and more! It is a collaborative book, where other authors can (and are encouraged to!) contribute material on specific subjects. It is currently scheduled for release in late 2007 to early 2008.

By the way, I'm John Ferguson Smart, the main author of the book.

PURPOSE OF THIS SITE

This site is a collaborative space where the author, contributors or potential contributors, reviewers, innocent bystanders, and any other participants can discuss book topics and help contribute to the final form and content of the book.

BOOK VISION

This book discusses key Java development problem areas and best practices, and focuses on open source tools that can help increase developer productivity in each area. The idea is not to focus on one particular tool, but to do a survey of a wide range of tools, and let readers decide for themselves which tool suits their needs best. You can get more details about the ideas behind this book here:

BOOK OUTLINE

The book will be organized into eight sections, with each section concerning a particular problem area or best practice (e.g. Configuration Management, Testing, Issue Tracking…). Each section will be divided into chapters, each of which focuses on a particular tool or technique, and which contains a set of articles about that tool or technique.The general sections of the book are listed here.

  • Introduction
  • Part One: Build tools
  • Part Two: Version control tools
  • Part Three: Quality metrics tools
  • Part Four: Technical documentation tools
  • Part Five: Unit Testing
  • Part Six: Integration, Functional, Load and Performance Testing
  • Part Seven: Issue Management tools
  • Part Eight: Continuous Integration tools

Check out the detailed outline here.

I've just posted new poll on Software Configuration Management (SCM) tools. I'm interested to see how Subversion compares these days to CVS. And who is using commercial tools like ClearCase, StarTeam and Perforce? Check it out software-configuration-management here.

Java Power Tools polls: preliminary results

21 Feb 2007 22:33

The polls that I added recently are getting some interesting initial results. On the build tools front, Ant is in front of Maven 2, but not by that much. Cruise Control still seems to be the leader in the Continuous Integration tools domain, well in front of Continuum and LuntBuild . And Bugzilla is the big winner in the Issue Tracking sphere, well in front of Trac and JIRA. Non-specified commercial solutions are also well represented in the issue tracking section.

Of course, so far, the number of participants is still low in statistical terms, so the results should be taken with a large grain of salt. If you want to share your own experiences, please pop in and vote for your preferred tools!

What about the protection tools in Java? I didn't read anything about these, aren't they important? I happen to know just how much damage a spyware can do, I learned it the hard way so that's why I think it's important to prioritize protection features first.

I use subversion. It is very easy to use and it has a nice plug-in to eclipse. Additionally, this seems to be the qyasi standard for java developers.
