April 10th marks JReleaser’s second birthday! And I couldn’t be happier. The project has grown a lot since that fateful afternoon when Max and I were chatting on different options to release projects. It went down like this: Max spent a lot of time and energy getting JBang’s release process up to a point where he was happy with it, and I needed a way to replicate the same for Ikonli but was not looking forward to the amount of work required to make it happen. Instead, I wished there was a way to automate as much as possible, just Read More

Java Modules It all started with a simple question from Benjamin: does the java-archive assembler support creating launchers for modular Java applications? I thought it did. We had a look at the sources and well, something Read More
Jarviz v0.3.0 has just been released! This version includes plenty of improvements: additional inputs supported by all commands, multiple inputs per command, new commands, and more! Repeatable Command Inputs Jarviz original goal is to inspect JAR files. Its first 2 releases let you define the target JAR to be analyzed by setting a value for one of these flags: –gav, –url, or –file. This is OK as long as you’re analyzing a single file, but what if you want to analyze a set of files? One option would be to invoke Jarviz multiple times which is OK for trivial cases. Read More

2022 is in the books. And what a year it was. We thought 2022 and 2021 were enough well, we know now 2022 topped them many times over. Work wise many teams at my current employer went the extra mile to ensure the next version of our flagship products will be ready for shipping this year as scheduled. Can’t wait to tell you what’s coming. Watch this space in the coming months. How well did I do this year with personal projects?
