Oracle Developer Cloud Service – cloud based agile development platform with tight integration across Oracle PaaS services
Something that you do not explicitly have to pay for may feel as having no value. The Developer Cloud Service is available free of additional charge with most Oracle PaaS services – and as such may suffer from a perceived lack of value. That would indeed be unfortunate – given […]

Deploying SOA Suite 12c artifacts from Nexus
SOA Suite 12c introduces Maven support to build and deploy artifacts. Oracle has provided extensive documentation on this. Also there already are plenty of blog posts describing how to do this. I will not repeat those posts (only shortly describe the steps). What I couldn’t find quickly enough though was […]
Sonatype Nexus: Retrieving artifacts using the REST API or Apache Ivy
– This blog post was also published on http://www.sonatype.org/ – Sonatype Nexus is an often used artifact repository. In a previous blog post I have shown an example how Maven can be used to assemble and release artifacts to Nexus. In this blog post I will describe two ways how artifacts […]
Using Maven to assemble and release artifacts to Nexus
An important part of a release process is storing artifacts in an artifact repository. Many customers use custom implementations of artifact repositories (such as file shares in combination with custom scripts) but there are also products which offer many functions of such a repository (and probably many more) out of […]

NetBeans 7.1 – JavaFX 2.0 support, refactoring enhancements and great Maven 3 integration
NetBeans 7.1 has just been released. It is interesting how NetBeans continues to evolve – after many doubts were raised with regard to its future after the Oracle-Sun acquisition. Oracle maintains two IDEs – each with its own objectives. JDeveloper to support Fusion Middleware development, NetBeans to propel the Java […]
Preparing your environment for modern open source Java libraries and frameworks using Git and Maven, throwing in Tomcat as a bonus
In my investigations into jWebWSockets, Kaazing, Atmosphere, CometD 2 and other frameworks I came to understand that in order to get these frameworks installed, integrate them into my custom applications or run the samples to go with these products, it would be convenient if not essential to have an environment […]
Weblogic deployment using the Oracle weblogic maven plugin
With the PS3 release of the SOA Suite a new version, 10.3.4, of Weblogic has been released. Amongst others, this release also includes a new Weblogic Maven plugin (weblogic-maven-plugin) that allows interaction with Weblogic from within a Maven environment. As far as I know, this plugin is the successor of […]
S313467 – The ADF Build Process Using Maven and Hudson

Last Friday I attended a product briefing at Oracle HQ that prepared me for today’s Oracle Open World 2009 keynote presentation by Ted Farrell on development tools and middleware. Oracle will soon (some time November?) release what it calls Patch Set 1 for the Fusion Middleware 11g stack and […]
Automated SOAP testing with maven and the SoapUI plugin
Currently there are few tools that can support testing SOAP interfaces. Both Jmeter and SoapUI are suited for testing soap interfaces. SoapUI is explicitly created for testing SOAP interfaces and Jmeter has a SOAP support since version 2.3.x. I have worked with both tools and I prefer SoapUI. It has […]
Maven based configuration management with automatic build number
An important questions in software deployment and testing is “What is the version of the software I am looking at”. It is frustrating for a tester or an end user not knowing if the planned upgrade is performed or not. Having a solid version numbering policy is a solution to […]
Building Enterprise Applications for GlassFish using Netbeans 6.0 (Beta 2) and Maven2
A few weeks ago an article appeared in the Netbeans Knowledge Base about how to get started with GlassFish V2, Maven2 and Netbeans 6.0. It is a great article doing exactly what the title says: getting you started with Maven2 in Netbeans 6.0 and deploying the project thus created to […]
Maven JMeter plugin and report generation (the last steps to get it working)
JMeter (http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/)is a powerful tool for functional and performance testing web applications. JMeter, opposed to selenium, also works perfectly on generated applications (like Oracle ADF ). One of the key strengths of JMeter is the automation. The same test can be repeated after each (minor) release. This is a great […]
