This is how you do a simple HTTP request with Java. These code performs the actual HTTP request and saves the response in a String variable. If the HTTP server requires Baisc Auth this code will fail. To make it work for Basic Auth these 3 additional lines are required.

How to get notified about out-dated dependencies in build.sbt?
Scala SBT is the build tool for the programming language Scala. You can specify your project dependencies in the “build.sbt” file, similar to the pom.xml file in Maven. A build.sbt file can look like this. But how do you get notified about new versions of your dependencies? VersionEye now supports Scala SBT. VersionEye can monitorContinue reading “How to get notified about out-dated dependencies in build.sbt?”
What is maven-compat ???
What is the maven-compat project? I was wondering. So I went to the official page of the project and found this: Maven2 classes maintained as compatibility layer. That is not very helpful!

Comparison of Application Level Package Managers
I have to work with a lot (9) of different package managers at my daily work at VersionEye. Part of our mission is it to make manual updating of dependencies extinct, because it’s a manual and time consuming task which nobody enjoys.

JsonIgnoreProperties
If you are using the Jackson project to parse JSON files than I recommend to use the “@JsonIgnoreProperties” Annotation. Assume that you have a JSON String like this, with 2 properties: { “name” : “mike”, “sex” : “male” } If you want to parse that with Jackson, you have to create a classContinue reading “JsonIgnoreProperties”
JsonAnySetter
I am using the Jackson JSON Lib in Java to process JSON. If you don’t know how JSON works in Ruby, you will like this project. Anyway. If you have dynamic JSON stream where the property names are not always the same, than you need the “@JsonAnySetter” Annotation. With that you can map dynamic Properties to aContinue reading “JsonAnySetter”

Using Java in Rails with JRuby
JRuby is a pretty good Java implementation of Ruby. One of the biggest advantages of JRuby is that you can use Java Classes in your Ruby on Rails App. You can import JARs and take advantages of all the Java Libraries and Frameworks. In that way you don’t have to throw away your old JavaContinue reading “Using Java in Rails with JRuby”
