Justin Michel Blogger
My fellow OCI programmer Justin Michel started blogging a while back. And he's full of interesting ideas. Here's the link:
Justin is probably best known to the outside world as the designer and one of the implementors of the open source "Makefile, Project file Creator (MPC)," which is used the world over in ACE and TAO based C++ development projects, even some non-TAO based projects.
It was precisely after working on a project where MPC is used that I wrote this blog entry 197 days ago.
However, my message can't seem to go across to the general Java public without me sitting down with somebody and explaining exactly what it is that I want. Maven's ability to generate Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA project files comes very close to my ideal. However I hate Maven's XML file format. Plus I haven't gotten past the error messages (some artifacts or other are not available, would you please read a clueless website to figure it out!) when I ran just "mvn" in an empty directory after a fresh Maven 2.0.4 install.
