Looks like quite a good list, when developing Tomcat stuff I like to have a dist target that packages the build in a WAR file. This is really handy for deploying the same app to multiple servers (like I’m doing at the moment) especially with the file upload interface on the manager console.

Good idea.
Have you tried maven? or for that matter turbine?

When I build a project with this template, I put the tests in their own directory but with an identical hierarchy to the source. Each test also goes in the same java package as the source it’s testing, to help with testing protected methods. So com.hackdiary.foo.Bar lives in src/com/hackdiary/foo/Bar.java and its tests go in tests/com/hackdiary/foo/BarTest.java.

The reason for keeping a separate test directory structure (apart from neatness) is to allow for separate compilation, packaging and deployment when I don’t want to include the tests.

Hi!

This is great, but I have one objection: tests should not be in its own directory. I think they should be in the src directory, together with the code they are testing.

BTW, I now have working targets for javancss, pmd, checkstyle, cvschangelog, jcsc, jmetra. It is like a drug… can’t… stop… adding… cool… targets… :-)

You should try Maven. It defines a structure and have reusable ant tasks packaged as Maven plugins.

It’s awesome!

Spooky

This is spooky. Matt Biddulph has just posted a template for Java projects which is basically a tar ball of
