There were some questions
in the mailing list and Matt
Raible blog about using Selenium
with Maven 2.
These are the available solutions:
selenium-maven-plugin,
we use it for Continuum
integration tests, it’s a good example of use in a multimodule
webapp.
mavenium,
by David Santiago Turi�o
none of the above, as Shale
does with a combination of Dependency and Antrun plugins or as
Binil
Thomas explains.
Hopefully the two plugins will merge and we have better Selenium
support
If you are still using Maven 1 you may have found that the repository is not working and Maven is unable to download new dependencies. The reason is that the ibiblio guys have moved the repo to another machine and Maven 1.0.x can’t handle redirects across different host names.
The workaround is to use the mirror configuration until ibiblio fixes the problem. Add to yor project.properties
maven.repo.remote=http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven
Although you should probably be using Maven 2 😉
Update! If you want to point to the main repo you should use the following, although it’s always a good idea to use a mirror
maven.repo.remote=http://repo1.maven.org/maven
If you are interested in open source adoption in the enterprise or you happen to have the usual open source rejection in your company, this may be interesting for you and/or your boss, and it’s free (like in free beer).

I took this quizz for accent, seems that I have a Northeast American accent. Well, I’m from the North of Spaing but from the West, does that count? 😉
| What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Northeast
Judging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak. |

I’ve added some more photos from my last trip to Paris and the “Dia de los Muertos” (Day of the Dead) in Santa Ana, CA
A common question is how can I proxy a Maven repo in my company so all developers don’t need to go out to the internet to download the same thing over and over, and having a place to put the internal private artifacts.
The answer is easier than ever. Use Archiva, it has a proxy, webdav accessible repository, search, reports,… It hasn’t been released in Apache yet but you can get a built version by downloading Mergere Maestro (don’t worry it’s open source).
You just need to add in your ~/.m2/settings.xml
Today’s picture from my Paris trip, the pyramid of Le Louvre (a scar on the face of Paris as some people say 😉 ), more pictures in flickr.
Acegi Security 1.0.2 is out, Ben was kind enough to push this
one. Good news for Maven 2 users is that Acegi can be built now with
Maven 2, ensuring that the poms in the repository are right.
From the announcement:
This release is mostly a bug fix release. Existing users can
upgrade with a simple JAR drop, although please first review the
upgrade note at SEC-340.
Some community members have inquired regarding our release roadmap:
Please visit the detailed changelog.
The project’s web site at http://acegisecurity.org
provides additional information on Acegi Security’s features, access to
online documentation, and links to download the latest release.
I’ll be in Munich 25-30 september enjoying the Oktoberfest, later in Paris 30 september – 8 october, so if you are around and you are a reader of this blog I’d like to meet you, yes, you 😉 Other stops are London Stansted Airport (something worth to see around in a few hours?) and Salzburg (Austria). Any advice is appreciated :D.
After that I’ll head to Spain (Madrid and Coru�a) for some weeks.
It’s always interesting to see what your work looks from the outside, from the view of that people that you don’t know, not biased from your relationship.
I was reading Sylvain Wallez Spring switching to Maven entry, where he exposes that Maven is too much black magic for him and prefers Ant. I think there’s a common basic mistake in his explanation, and I have already seen it in other places. If you are already an Ant user, of course it will look crystal clear after the years you have spent learning it, your opinion is also biased (not that I’m saying my opinion is not biased, that of course it is).
When talking about Ant you should also think about that first time user, that junior developer that haven’t left the IDE, and tell him that it’s easier to use Ant than Maven.
That’s right, read Ben Hale blog entry. Now you don’t have any excuse not to use Maven 😉
In an unrelated note, if you want to have real fun, watch JavaPolis commercial.
Last thursday I was flying from Spain to the US, during the terrorist alert. I was lucky as I always fly through London Heathrow, but this time I did through Philadelphia. In Madrid just a bit of extra security, at that time the news were only that a plot had been discovered in the UK and most flights to London were cancelled. In Philadelphia they didn’t tell us anything about the restriction on liquids after we checked in the baggage, and as I was carrying some goods I had bought in the dutty free shop I had to go out of the terminal to another one and check it in in my laptop case (as they don’t allow small packages), and take the laptop and all the valuable stuff by hand.
After that we had to wait more than an hour inside the plane waiting for people and cargo from connecting flights, and then more than another hour in line on the runway to take off. The most annoying part was that in that 2.5 hours we were told every 5 minutes “we’re about to leave, just a couple of minutes”, even at the end when we were like 5th to take off, and after 15 min the pilot came back and said “don’t ask me why but we are still 5th” after a bunch of planes took off, lol.
