Hello All,

meeting will be held on:

Topic: Tools that can optimize your development process

One of the nice things about Java development is the number of
productivity-enhancing tools that are available. Indeed, an appropriate
mix of tools and best practices can do wonders for your development process.

This talk will cover some key areas where proper use of appropriate
tools can enhance your development process. These areas include build
tools such as Ant and Maven, Continuous Integration tools such as Cruise
Control, Continuum and Hudson, code quality tools such as Checkstyle,
PMD and FindBugs, and test coverage tools like Cobertura.

The Object Oriented Compentency Center at Inland Revenue is working on
enhancing the Java development process used for internal projects. The
talk will conclude with a practical look at the tools and best practices
that are being used to optimise the Java development process at
Inland Revenue.
