eXo’s Apache Maven Expert on JUG Tour

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

eXo’s very own Arnaud Hertier is going on tour, speaking at 6 upcoming JUG events throughout France and Switzerland.  Arnaud is one of the key contributors to Apache Maven, and even co-authored a book on the subject (Apache Maven from Pearson).  He’s going to be teaching Java developers how to leverage Maven as a tool through a development project lifecycle, covering topics like dependency management, continuous integration, metrics utilization, quality reports and more.

For our readers in France & Switzerland, here are some more details (in French, of course):

Arnaud Héritier, membre des communautés Apache Maven et Codehaus Mojo, et auteur du célèbre “Apache Maven”, viendra vous parler de l’utilisation de Maven en entreprise et des nouveautés de la version 3.x.

Software Factory Manager pour eXo, Arnaud vous présentera son retour d’expérience de l’utilisation de Maven dans une forge logicielle professionnelle : ce que Maven apporte à chaque étape de la construction d’un logiciel.
Arnaud abordera ainsi successivement comment maven intervient pour chacune de ces étapes:

* le build du projet sur le poste du développeur
* la gestion des dépendances et des dépôts
* la mise en place de l’intégration continue
* l’utilisation des métriques et des rapports de qualité
* le déploiement continu

Arnaud Héritier en quelques mots:

“Arnaud Héritier est Software Factory Manager chez eXo. Il est actuellement en charge des méthodes et outils afin d’améliorer la qualité des produits, et la productivité des équipes en interne, mais aussi chez les intégrateurs et clients.

Passionné par le développement de logiciels, Arnaud a rejoint en 2004 la communauté Open Source du projet Apache Maven. Il est ensuite entré dans son comité de direction en 2005. Il participe également à la rédaction d’un ouvrage sur le sujet en Français avec un autre membre du projet : Nicolas de Loof.

Arnaud participe dès que possible aux événements communautaires pour partager sa passion (Java Users Groups, Java BarCamps, …).

Il viens de publier avec quelques ex-collègues un livre blanc chez OCTO Technology : Java Productivity Primer, Twelve guidelines to boost your productivity with a software factory. Ce dernier est disponible gratuitement en téléchargement en Français et en Anglais.”

eXo at the Next Java SIG Meeting on April 6, in Palo Alto, CA

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

Benjamin has been invited to speak at the next Java SIG in Palo Alto.  If you’re in the area, come join us!  Here are the details:

7:00 PM – 9:00 PM April 6, 2010
Cubberley
4000 Middlefield Rd., RM H-1
Palo Alto, CA
94105

Title: How to build a multi-tenancy online development platform in Java

Abstract:

… or, more specifically, how to build a multi-tenancy online development platform in Java thanks to JCR, JAX-RS, OpenSocial Gadgets, Groovy and GateIn?

Building traditional Java UI applications requires a long development cycle. This presentation will show how eXo leverages several Java specifications to assemble an online application development platform that can be used to build private and public clouds.

This presentation is intended for Java developers and architects that would like to expand their knowledge to new concepts related to cloud and online agile development.

We will see how a JCR repository data store can be used to:

* model a cloud tenant
* to store and dynamically deploy JAX-RS services written in Groovy
* to store and dynamically deploy OpenSocial Gadgets that connect to previously online-created REST APIs
* to remotely expose those Gadgets to the public cloud

For more information, check out the Java SIG page.
