New Agile ways in my company

In a very interesting move, my company started to invest in agile processes, so for that i am very excited to be a part of it all. It is been a while that i dont post anything in my blog, but ill try to keep updating as i experience "new " ways of developing.

Our current choice of frameworks are JSF 2, Spring, Hibernate, Maven, Hudson and Sonar. I know, not all that is actually a developing framework, but that sums up to the amount of work we are trying to do around here. We will be using TDD and experiment BDD. We are trying to create our own version of agile process heavily based on Scrum, well see what we can come up with.

Porting a Swing Java App to Groovy

Recently I started to port an average swing app to a groovy app and the only thing I miss is the code completion features from java netbeans editor, however i've had no problems at all of compatibility. In the end, i am still not sure I have made the right decision, since im still using the java classes of the matisse gui, still if I ever wanted to use groovy, the compatibility issues I was worried didnt turn up.

I am using swing, spring and jpa.

Groovy in the head!

Just started to port a swing app that i am still developing to groovy, with the only exception of the UI that will remain in java because of the matisse in netbeans.

Im using spring, jpa/hibernate, log4j.
