Symptoms and Solutions

I casually watch a lot of forums related to Java: IRC, of course, and Discord, and Slack, and Reddit. On Reddit, on r/java, there’re some occasionally quite interesting projects offered for consideration; they’re usually pet projects for the authors, and that’s healthy and useful for everyone. However, there’s also a low hum of … tooling. Two really interesting projects showed up recently, for example, that avoided standard tooling: one used PowerShell...

The JavaChannel Podcast, vol 16

It’s only been six months, so it’s finally time for a new podcast. This one doesn’t even pretend to go over the mountains of killer content from ##java since the last podcast – it focuses on some of the more recent links, and that’s it.

Gradle Properties

Gradle supports properties in builds just like Maven does, but the actual documentation and examples are harder to come by. This article will show you something that actually works. In Maven, you typically have a dependencyManagement section that declares the dependencies with versions; I typically put the versions in a properties block so that they’re all located in a nice, handy, easy-to-manage place.

JarSplice: building fat jars with native resources bundled

JarSplice is an application that builds a fat jar, with the main difference being that JarSplice will build invocation scripts and include native resources. The main weaknesses of JarSplice seems to be its lack of build tool integration, its (apparently) unmaintained status, and its lack of source code availability (even though it’s described as being under the BSD license). A “fat jar” (or a “shaded jar”) is a jar file that has been bundled...
