I'm a DevSecOps/Build & Release Engineer with a background in Java Development and Linux/Unix. I am an active contributor in the OSS community and like helping.
From SourceForge to GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and AWS CodeCommit — code hosting platforms shaped how we build, share and collaborate.
In my latest recap article in this series I explore their rise, struggles and impact on dev culture.

Over the past decade GitHub has not only become the most successful platform for hosting code but also the de facto standard for both open source and enterprise software development.
It didn’t just change how we share code — it changed how we build software together.

In my latest Maven article I look at artifact coordinates — the convention that makes every dependency unique, keeps builds reproducible and allows Maven to resolve artifacts with precision.

@wpisarski : Thanks for the suggestion! I will have a think about it. I have a few ideas for continuation of the topic:
- Parent POM-s
- BOM files
- Aggregators
- Should parents be part of an aggregator
Sounds like your suggest will fit somewhere right in there
In my latest article, we explore what the POM file actually is, why it matters and how it enables portable, reliable builds across environments.

For anyone interested, I've started a Medium publication on Apache Maven, where I'll be covering a broad range of topics.
Let me know if there are topics you'd like to see covered.

In my latest article, I illustrate How To Set Up SAST Scanning Using Checkmarx One, GitHub Actions and GitHub Advanced Security.

And, perhaps to your follow-up question, I chose SDKMan for the Java installation under Linux, because:
1) I didn't want to get into too much details on how the JDK is installed because by the time you get to build tools like Maven, you're expected to know how to install a JDK.
2) There is just so much to explain (stealing the focus) -- apt not always supporting the latest version, update-alternatives, etc.
I thought these things were out of scope for this article.
@sparsick : Great question! As a matter of fact, I didn't know it supported it (which is great and thanks for enlightening me!).
However, I have always felt that an installation guide/article should show you how to do things yourself first.
Later on, when you're more comfortable and know and understand the basics, you can try the alternative methods.
I put together a brief guide on how to install Apache Maven (on Linux, MacOS and Windows).
I hope you find it useful! :)

With Maven 4.0.0 just around the corner, I thought it would be a good idea to write a quick introduction to Apache Maven for any newcomers that are interested in getting acquainted with the tool, its history and philosophies.
I hope you find it interesting! :)

@Fu : I don't actually think there's a parallel universe in which #SourceForge is more user-friendly than #GitHub. That would simply defy quantum physics! 🤣

@benjamineskola : While I do get what you mean, I don't really agree with it. DevOps is a culture, a mindset a way of doing things. However, there are different types of sub-disciplines in this and there are therefore different types of Engineering roles covering them.
@benjamineskola : Yeah... While I do know what you mean, I don't really agree with it. DevOps is a culture, it's a mindset, it's a way of doing things. There are also different types of DevOps Engineers based on the sub-field in DevOps that they specialize in.
