Aspect weaving is very neat way of doing things without cluttering your code. Today I’m looking into easy ways to monitor/profile performance of parts of my code. To do this I would like to be able to easily do something like this: Even if code above might seem as not […]
When building cross-platform (different OS) sometimes we need to perform tasks that differ across OS families. This is rather simple to do with Ant-scripting. This is a skeleton structure for checking conditional-statements first and executing tasks. That’s all that it takes. Go Ant!
I’m playing with some JavaScript frameworks and some new editors. Brackets (adobe) is open source one, built particularly for developing web stuff.

JPA specification allows up to two simultaneous eager fetches. But sometimes when we really need to this – we are stuck. One way to achieve this is to use hibernate extensions. We could do something like this: [cc lang=”java” highlight=”2″] @OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL, fetch = FetchType.EAGER, mappedBy = “keys”) @Fetch(value […]
This topic is well described on maven homepage but if you are impatient or just need a quick start, here we go. There are a zillion different archetypes out there but somehow it more often than seldom that there is no particular type that suits exactly our needs. That’s where we […]
I recently found this presentation by Scott Chacon and I personally find it very intuitive in helping to understand how GIT works under the hood. He explains in a very neat way how the concept of pointers to snapshots works and imho it’s an hour of worth while watching. If you’re […]
