Maven Project Info Reports Considered Dangerous
This is the first in a series of posts that talks about Maven 2.0 successes and short-comings. Today a short-coming: Maven's default project reports are "easy" but they are also "boring", and if you dare to look at the code, I think you'll agree that they are "nasty".

Web 2.0 and Enterprise Java - move over Struts
A while back I wrote an article for an O'Reilly sister site, Java.net , on Sprinkle Some Ajax Magic into your Struts Web Application. I'm going to repeat one thing I said in this article: while coding Ajax is cool, you really want to use a framework if you have the choice. If you don't believe me , check out some of the podcasts on Ajaxian.com. When you listen to the problems that the Ajax frameworks have overcome (What if the ActiveX XmlHttpRequest Object is turned off? What if you want to do local storage? What if the user hits the back button?), you'll be a convert to the 'Frameworks are better' approach. So which Ajax enabled framework should you use as an Enterprise Java developer?

Integrating a Rich-text Widget with Struts
All I wanted was a simple rich-text editor that I could easily drop into an existing form in Struts. I ended up doing battle with too many competing frameworks and multiple hours of Javascript debugging. I finally settled on FCKeditor
