Jetspeed is an open portal platform implemented in Java code released under the Apache License and XML. Within a Jetspeed portal, you can aggregate individual portlets to create a page, yet each portlet is an independent application; Jetspeed acts as the central hub, making information from multiple sources available. The Java Portlet Specification 2.0 (JSR 286) provides standard mechanisms for portlet-to-portlet communication, including public parameters and events. Here’s how to implement bidirectional interaction between Jetspeed portlets through events.

This tutorial covers the core concepts of Apache Maven and discusses how you can begin using Maven in your own development projects. Concepts covered include the Project Object Model (POM), Build Lifecycle, Dependency Management, Repositories, and Plugins. It also gives some hints on the IDE support you can find for popular Java IDEs.

Java EE 6 is hot, new, and pretty darn cool. It eases development with its “standardized” features, and the zero-configuration approach apparent in every part of the implementation is really nice, lending an out-of-the-box feeling that’s similar to the .NET environment. In this tutorial we’ll update you on the world of Java EE 6 with the help of a Twitter-like demo application that contains JSF 2.0, PrimeFaces, CDI and Weld as well as Hibernate Validator frameworks.

A continuous integration (CI) engine is an automated build system that checks out the most current code from a source code repository, builds it, and makes the resulting artifacts available for download and review. This tutorial covers the setup of a continuous integration server for Java projects with Hudson, one of the top open source CI engines.

Maven is quickly becoming the de facto standard for Java project builds, but its reliance on a remote central repository somewhere on the Internet can be troublesome. This tutorial covers the setup of a local Maven proxy, including installation and configuration of Maven and the Nexus repository manager on a Linux server.
