Maven, l’outil open-source de gestion et d’automatisation de développement Java, a le vent en poupe. Les raisons : il systématise, rationalise et simplifie le développement collaboratif de projets Java, faisant gagner aux entreprises comme aux développeurs du temps et de l’argent !

Les auteurs, membres de l’équipe de développement Maven, aidés par toute la communauté francophone, ont imaginé de présenter Maven 2 sous un angle original et didactique, à travers un projet fictif, inspiré de leurs expériences sur le terrain, dont ils détaillent toutes les phases successives. Ce projet évolue au fil des besoins et de la contribution de développeurs aux profils différents, vous familiarisant avec les concepts fondamentaux de Maven et leur mise en œuvre pratique, mais aussi avec les fonctionnalités plus avancées. Vous profitez également des recommandations et bonnes pratiques pour optimiser votre utilisation de Maven.

[videos] Mashups with GateIn, the real platform power

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Last week I wrote a blog about: “Is OpenSocial hurting portals”

I have made a new video on how to use Gadgets and dynamic languages inside GateIn to quickly build REST APIs and Gadgets on a live GateIn instance

Build Mashups in GateIn from Benjamin Mestrallet on Vimeo.

What we show here:

- provide a simple text file with a list of adresses, deploy it on GateIn WebDAV drive
- Build with our online IDE a REST API on the cloud (using groovvy language and the JSR 311 specification) that read the content of that file and expose it as a REST service with a simple click
- Consume that REST service within a Gadget and use the Google maps API to do render a map that points to the adress from the file

All live… only on GateIn

By the way, this is also what I demoed at Google Devfest in Argentina:
