See the sourceforge news section for information on Yttrium's progress. You can find it here.

25.04.2006, 1500hrs CEST: Maven 2 integration

Integrated Yttrium in the Maven project management and comprehension process. This enabled me to enable the Checkstyle, PMD and Tag list reports. These reports higlighted many issues (see the maven reports). These reports do not only show clearly what and where the errors are: they allow an easy follow-up of the work!

Many projects I've been working on did not use such an approach and resulted at the end in a massive amount of extra (unexpected) work, going from simple bug fixes to major architectural changes. Maven delivers a simple, elegant and fast (!) way to get an immediate follow up on the project. See the maven section for more information on the Maven project in Yttrium.

Note: some mojo plugins were used to handle the tomcat integration. See the maven development documentation for more specific info.

Wrote the first few pages on the quick startup and installation guide of Yttrium. See the web site.

Must go to bed now; will be early day tomorrow.
