Today I published the YouEat maven site.

The site contains  the JavaDoc of YouEat and some general information

TIP: to speed up  the site generation you can add the configuration below for the maven-project-info-reports-plugin:

<dependencylocationsenabled>false</dependencylocationsenabled>

YouEat uses Hudson and Sonar.

Sonar for YouEat

Hudson for YouEat

Thanks to Sonar and Hudson developers for these essential tools.

YouEat is an open source application. You can check the code at http://code.google.com/p/youeat/.

YouEat is a Java application built only with open-source software:

  • Apache Wicket, for the web interface
  • Spring Framework is the glue for all the components
  • Hibernate is the JPA implementation
  • Apache Lucene to implement the internal search engine
  • Apache Maven is the dev manager
  • JUnit is test suite
  • PostgreSQL is the database engine

My idea is create an easy to read application… therefore any feedback is well accepted ;-)

ImprovementsI changed a lot on the core of jackwicket.
Pricincipally I moved from the jcr-spring-modules to the new org.springframework.se-jcr.

I also removed the DAO infrastucre and I simplified the implemetation of the service layer. To rebuild the Service Layer I used basically the JcrMappingTemplate, but in order to have a Generic interface I extended this class with JcrMappingTemplateGeneric that offers a type safe implementation of the super class.

You can find some samples in the implementation of the  service layer in JackWicket.

P.S.
Thanks Salvo for the technical advice :)

I published a website and a demo with my last personal work that I called Jackwicket.
In this project I put together Apache Wicket and Apache Jackrabbit OCM.
My target was create easyly and quickly powerful interactive webapps, and I think that Wicket and Jackrabbit  are very good technologies to achieve this target.

I will be very happy to know your opinion and to receive suggestions or contributions.

Useful post to fix this KDE/Eclipse issue.
Personally I unchecked ‘Prevent empty clipboard‘ in Klipper’s settings.
Thanks Daniel.

KDE 4.2 is really good!

I didn’t like 4.0 and 4.1, too many bugs and low level of usability, but the 4.2 rocks.

I installed the 4.2 on Kubuntu 8.10 without problems.

You can explore KDE 4.2 also watching some nice Video Guide.

Thanks to the KDE communty for this very good product.

Today is my birthday, I’m becoming 30 years old, and I’m very proud to remember this day also for the President Obama inauguration.
It’s incredible the excitation that surrounds the USA people these days, I hope that all the people around the world one day can feel the same emotion: freedom to hope on theirs dream.
I want remember this day with the incredible moment of two day ago on the Lincoln Memorial, Bruce Springsteen and Pete Seeger sing  ‘This land is your land’.

Feature

Hundreds of thousands of people are on the run, fleeing a war raging in eastern Congo in the provinces of North and South Kivu. They are frightened. Many are sick or wounded. Others have been harassed or raped, or have had everything they own stolen. For more than a decade, several armed groups and the army have been fighting each other in the Kivus. The violence has made it impossible for people to lead normal lives. Life isn’t just hard in the Kivus: this region is in critical condition. And things aren’t getting any better. The destiny of everyone in this region of Congo is shaped by the war. The story of their struggle to survive needs to be told.

Condition: Critical will be regularly updated by MSF over the coming year with new eyewitness accounts, photos and video of people living through the crisis in eastern Congo.
