In a few days, I'll fly to Boston for the TheServerSide symposium. I'm doing 2 presentations there:

• Unit testing J2EE applications: I will try to cover the full set of J2EE components using different techniques: MockObjects and Cactus. The hard part is understanding what each brings you and when to use them. I will also cover automating tests and continuous integration using Ant and Maven. I wanted to cover unit testing with an AOP framework but I'm not sure I'll have the time to research that enough... Most of the examples will be taken from my JUnit in Action book.
• Building a J2EE application with Maven: This talk will explain Maven and I will then do a step by step build of a J2EE application, dividing the full projet into Maven projects and proposing a strategy for organizing a J2EE project. I will also cover continuous integration with Maven.

If you're going there and want to meet up, leave me a message!

Note: I'm also looking forward to open a U.S. bank account there but I have no clue what paper I need to bring and how easy (or hard) it is. Any clue is most welcome :-)

If you know others blogging from JavaOne, let me know and I'll add them.

Some time ago, I blogged about Subversion. One of things I noticed was the lack of a good Eclipse plugin.

Daniel Bradby has informed me he has just released an Eclipse plugin for Subversion.

I haven't tried it yet... If you have I'll be happy to know what you think.

Update 22/07/2004: There is now a TortoiseSVN wrapper plugin for Eclipse which seems quite nice.
