“Projektmanagement von Projity für Linux, Unix, Mac und Windows

Mit “OpenProj” will Projity eine Open-Source-Alternative zu proprietären Projektmanagement-Lösungen wie Microsoft Project bieten. Die Java-Applikation steht in der Version 1.0 ab sofort für Linux, Unix, Mac und Windows bereit.
…
So kann OpenProj z.B. Dateien aus Microsoft Project öffnen und in sein eigenes Format überführen.”

EclEmma is a free Java code coverage tool for Eclipse, available under the Eclipse Public License. Internally it is based on the great EMMA Java code coverage tool, trying to adopt EMMA’s philosophy for the Eclipse workbench:

• Fast develop/test cycle: Launches from within the workbench like JUnit test runs can directly be analyzed for code coverage.
• Rich coverage analysis: Coverage results are immediately summarized and highlighted in the Java source code editors.
• Non-invasive: EclEmma does not require modifying your projects or performing any other setup.

..implemented by Marc R. Hoffmann. It’s simply the best JUnit coverage plugin for Eclipse.

Dozer is a powerful, yet simple Java Bean to Java Bean mapper that recursively copies data from one object to another. Typically, these Java Beans will be of different complex types. Dozer supports simple property mapping, complex type mapping, bi-directional mapping, implicit-explicit mapping, as well as recursive mapping. This includes mapping collection attributes that also need mapping at the element level.

Google TechTalks July 6, 2006

ABSTRACT I’ll talk about some of my experience in using and expanding static analysis tools for defect detection. The FindBugs tool developed at the Univ. of Maryland is now being widely used, including inside Google.

I’ll give an overview of FindBugs, show some of the kinds of errors we routinely find in production code, discuss the methodology we use for enhancing and expanding FindBugs and some of the recent additions to it, discuss ways of incorporating FindBugs into your development process (such as being able to get a report of all the warnings introduced since the last release of your software), and talk about the future of static analysis, including things such as a new Java JSR to provide standard annotations for things such as @NonNull and @Tainted. – (Google Video)

David Seah bietet auf seinem Weblog die 2007er Version seines nützlichen Task Progress Trackers an. Wer ein einfaches und flexibles Tool für die aufgabenbezogene Zeiterfassung sucht, der wird Davids Tracker zu schätzen wissen. Und für alle die lieber klicken statt kritzeln gibt es eine Flash Version.

..with the Instrumentation Client:

To activate Cocoon instrumentation, uncomment the “enable-instrumentation” and “instrumentation-config” servlet parameters in web.xml.

To start the GUI, type “build start-instrumentation-client” in the main
Cocoon directory, then use “Instrument manager/Connect to instrument manager” to establish a connection with the Cocoon server.

This is a really nice Eclipse feature:

• Eclipse 3.2 M5 – New and Noteworthy

After reading Vincent Massol’s weblog article about “Wanted wiki features” I miss some features who make a wiki to a almost real “project development wiki” in my opinion:

• integration into Eclipse IDE with code linking support
• project viewpoints: project related content; close resp. mark whole content of a project; retrospective browsing
• Postmortem Process support
• project dashboard with news, calendar, milestone plan, etc.
• ToDo list management (like expTask)
• wiki markup to draw mindmaps, organigrams or uml (like SnipGraph)
• …

Wenn man sich auf die Suche nach CVS “Reporting and Statistics Tools” macht, muss man leider feststellen das sich die Ergebnisse in Grenzen halten. Es gibt zwar einige Tools, aber die sind zum Teil leider nicht mehr zeitgemäß. Wirklich brauchbar scheinen nur Fisheye von Cenqua und CVS Monitor zu sein.

Some links of CVS Reporting and Statistics Tools

• CVS Monitor is a CGI application for looking at CVS repositories in a much more useful and productive way.
• Fisheye (commercial, price: US$1500)
• StatCVS Generate statistical HTML reports from your CVS repository logs
• CHalogen – The Change Log Generator
• Bloof is an infrastructure for analytical processing of version control data.
• Cvsplot is used for collecting statistics from CVS controlled files.
• CVS-Summary is a program that generates an HTML summary of CVS activity, very similar to that provided by the popular ViewCVS script.
• CVSreport produces text or enhanced HTML activity reports from a local or remote CVS repository.
• CIA is a system for tracking open-source projects in real-time.
• Codestriker is an open-sourced web application which supports online code reviewing.
