Tomas Malmsten's blog: Automating Android test project with Maven
"The last post explored how to enable Maven builds in a standard Android Eclipse project. This post will show how to enable the test project to be built with Maven.

Stupid Java Tricks: Spring 3.0 RESTful Web Services By Example
"If you’re reading this then you’re probably aware that the new Spring 3.0 release will have REST support (If you’re not familiar with REST here is a nice intro). In this article I’m going to describe the basic steps required to quickly get a RESTful XML web service going using the latest Spring 3 release candidate (3.0.0.RC3). In future follow-up articles I will describe how to switch between JSON and XML using selectors and how to use the Spring REST Template to read RESTful web services."

It's difficult to write a generic Ant template to compute the dependencies graph and then choose the best building path. The building process of cross dependent projects becomes very slow because the redundant enter/exit dependent projects building task."

Java.net: Testing PDF files with Canoo Webtest and Maven2
"This week I received one of that lovely and tricky tasks: to learn Canoo webtest, test it and prove its usefulness to the project in three days - convincing the managers that it should be part of the project.

jaXzin.com: Maven and Legacy Projects
"Recently I've been helping a colleague introduce a dependency on a legacy project that hasn't been "Maven-ized". Often the "easy way" to add a legacy dependency is to throw the JAR into our Nexus repository and be done with it. But this legacy project was a little trickier and is my new poster child for why taking the easy way can lead to headaches and frustration."
