[Groovy] Maven Pom to Ivy Dependencies

Mon, 19 May 2008 18:09:00 GMT

Last night I needed a way to quickly convert a large amount of pom dependency syntax into Ivy dependency syntax. A quick google search didn't reveal much so instead of wasting time searching deeper I wrote my own. I don't claim this to be perfect in any way. I wrote it as quickly as possible. Feel free to use it, modify it, or whatever.

Groovy Java File Prepender

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 19:07:00 GMT

A friend of mine is getting ready to release an open source project and needed a quick way to put a common comment block at the beginning of every java file. I thought this would be a good chance for me to brush up on Groovy's slick File tricks and support. Yes, I know this has been done before and probably in Groovy as well, but it was a fun exercise. I would like some suggestions on how to make it better/leaner?

Today's SwingBuilder excursion revolves around the fact that I am developing a Swing application where Groovy isn't being used at all. What I realized was that while I can't say for certain if SwingBuilder really makes complex forms easier to write I do know that simple forms are far simpler in SwingBuilder than vanilla Swing.

Groovy SwingBuilder Model Binding

I've been messing around with Groovy's SwingBuilder in my spare time. I did quite a bit of google-ing trying to figure out how to bind widget values to model properties. The example on the Groovy website wasn't very real world though it did get me pointed in the right direction.
