• Professional Java Tools for Extreme Programming: Ant, XDoclet, JUnit, Cactus, and Maven  by Rick Hightower, Warner Onstine, Paul Visan, Damon Payne, Joseph D. Gradecki, Kate Rhodes, Robert Watkins, Erik Meade   - [Clicks: 199]
  The Extreme Programming (XP) methodology enables you to build and test enterprise systems quickly without sacrificing quality. In the last few years, open source developers have created or significantly improved a host of Java XP tools, from XDoclet, Maven, AntHill, and Eclipse to Ant, JUnit, and Cactus. This practical, code-intensive guide shows you how to put these tools to work - and capitalize on the benefits of Extreme Programming. Using an example pet store application, our expert Java developers demonstrate how to harness the latest versions of Ant and XDoclet for automated building and continuous integration. They then explain how to automate the testing process using JUnit, Cactus, and other tools, and to enhance project management and continuous integration through Maven and AntHill. Finally, they show you how to work with XP tools in the new Eclipse IDE. Complete with real-world advice on how to implement the principles and practices of effective developers, this book delivers everything you need to harness the power of Extreme Programming in your own projects.
