In my latest Maven article I look at artifact coordinates — the convention that makes every dependency unique, keeps builds reproducible and allows Maven to resolve artifacts with precision.

In my latest article, we explore what the POM file actually is, why it matters and how it enables portable, reliable builds across environments.

For anyone interested, I've started a Medium publication on Apache Maven, where I'll be covering a broad range of topics.

Let me know if there are topics you'd like to see covered.

I put together a brief guide on how to install Apache Maven (on Linux, MacOS and Windows).

I hope you find it useful! :)

With Maven 4.0.0 just around the corner, I thought it would be a good idea to write a quick introduction to Apache Maven for any newcomers that are interested in getting acquainted with the tool, its history and philosophies.

I hope you find it interesting! :)

Build tools officially released!

Earlier, we’ve detailed the build system and how it’s going to be used in all our projects prior to the official release. This was one of our efforts to make sure that we deliver quality projects. Now, we’ve finished the core of the system and released it as version v1.0 that you can find below.

As for the Makefiles, we haven’t introduced the unified Makefile script, but we will provide it in the official documentation for projects to have their root-level Makefile. Also, the build system now has an official GitBook documentation that you can consult here.

This build system’s goals are to save time writing long and complicated commands, especially when dealing with large projects and to make the build process more consistent across workflows. Not only that, but we’re also providing scripts that provide more actions than just building the project; those include cleaning up old build output, incrementing the project version, and pushing the artifacts to the package registry, such as NuGet for C# and Cargo for Rust.

As we develop projects, we’ll make sure to release new versions that will improve your experience when using this build toolset.

We've released the script-based build tools!

1/5 Heya Fed, Hint of the day for the devs out there: I was heavily reliant on Dependabot to keep my project's software dependencies versions up to date (you are keeping your dependencies up to date, right?).

Some colleagues who are deeper into OSS told me to try Renovate, but I mostly dismissed it as just alt tech.
