Welcome Welcome to our blog about all kind of topics that are related to software development. We blog about:
SOA, BPM, EDA, ECM and all the other buzz words. Beware some post might not be so common as you think. We are not scared to go against main stream thoughts.
Technologies like java, maven, springframework, OSGi and front end technologies and frameworks like jQuery, DWR, Flex.
Finally to make this happen we need tools and of course a Mac (well some of us do). So we blog about that as well.
Linked in We now have a linked in group, join the group if you are a regular reader and want to see who else reads this blog.

 Some months ago I wrote an article with my favorite mac osx tools. I am using my mac more and more, with my current employer I can use it for almost everything I want. I do not have ms office, so sometimes I need to use my other laptop. I also use my other laptop to run databases etc. Just because 2 Gb ram is not always enough.
Telling you about what I do with my other laptop is not the reason to write this post. I want to share a very cool application that can help you to become a lot more effective during all your tasks. It is an application to help you find and then remember all you shortcuts. It integrates with all the applications I use to show possible shortcuts. It is not a free program, but the value you get for only 20 euro’s (excluding vat) is very good. Try it yourself, you’ll be supprised.
Here is the website where you can download a trial

 When I bought my Mac a few months ago, there was some doubt about the support of apple for java. Java 6 was out for a while and Leopard was still shipped with java 5. There were a lot of blogs and a lot of reactions to the lag of support. For me it was not a real problem, java 5 was already a big step forward. Yes I was working for big corporations still doing IBM websphere 5.1. But since I have moved to JTeam (well oke, I am starting this week) I need java 6. I knew there was an opensource initiative to port java 6 to the mac. So I started googling for it. But I stumbled upon this site from apple: http://developer.apple.com/java/. There now is a developer release for java 6. I also started reading some other java related material for the mac. In this blog item I want to share some of the stuff I found. I do want to stress that most of the knowledge comes directly from the articles I have found on the mentioned website. I will try to give references if I can still find them.
read on for the tips.

Can you believe it, when you have Mac os-x 10.5 running, maven is pre-installed. If you are not programming java you practically do not care about it. But if you are not programming java you will not find this blog very interesting as well . So especially for those that like their Mac, program [...]

These days everybody is speaking about the new MacBook air. The last months I was showing my macbook pro to colleagues and these same persons were kind of laughing and telling me about this new laptop. Yes it looks great, but it is to small for me. I like the one I have now [...]
