SPoE: Slow but steady.

So I have a few user stories; time to start putting the infrastructure together. So What have I decided on so far?

Language: Java
Framework: Spring*
Repository: Subversion
IDE: Eclipse
Continuous Integration/ Deployer: Hudson
Build Automation: Maven2

I’m in the process of getting all my pieces together and in place. I’ve set up a subversion repository and eclipse. I have a very basic .war file setup committed and a maven script to build the war file. Every five minutes, a Hudson job polls the repository and rebuilds the warfile, then deploys it to JBoss. It’s a pretty sweet setup despite it only deploying a “Hello World”.

Now I need to refresh myself on Java and learn Spring. This leads me to my first task:

Status: New

Time spent: 0

If you’re interested in helping me with development,

*Despite suggestions of both Struts and Spring, I went with Spring after scientific investigation.
