Waste of time and talents...
This effort is not going to produce anything new, just another implementation with a different license. This is kind of like creating yet another J2EE app server (Geronimo, JOnAS, JBoss, etc.). Do we really need an implementation per license? [...] Those who wish to improve the JDK can do so by joining the Mustang project. —

Maven and multiple source trees
Michael Nielsen answers an often asked question about Maven and multiple source trees. He acknowledges that often Maven experts answer the question being asked instead of addressing the question behind the question. He notes that one problem is that "most of the 'Intro's to Maven', as well as the Maven 'genapp"'plugin, only show the 'degenerate' maven project: a single source-tree project." He instead recommends that "the next time someone asks about Maven and 'multiple source trees', please direct the person towards the Maven 'multiproject' plugin." He even provides a quick introduction.
Quick and Easy Custom Templates with XDoclet
Java developer Jason Lee looked over the fence at Ruby on Rails and saw a lot of advantages in its ability to generate code from scripts. "This started me thinking about my current project and how effective I am during my coding day. The 'how much work do I get done versus how much time do I spend trying to get work done' thought has been key in my mind more and more over the past few weeks." His answer: applying XDoclet to the problem. In Quick and Easy Custom Templates with XDoclet, he shows how to combine XDoclet code generation with Spring to get web applications up faster.
