  • Using Java to Build Java: Revealing the Power of Open Java Technologies

    JavaOne 2013

    Learn how modern Java-based technologies such as Jenkins, Maven, Play2, and Ant (not to mention JAX-RS, JAX-WS, and other Java EE and Java SE technologies) are being harnessed by the OpenJDK community to create an open build and test infrastructure that is being used to build the Java runtime itself.

    Learn how modern Java-based technologies such as Jenkins, Maven, Play2, and Ant (not to mention JAX-RS, JAX-WS, and other Java EE and Java SE technologies) are being harnessed by the OpenJDK community to create an open build and test infrastructure that is being used to build the Java runtime itself. This session discusses the technical, business, and personal challenges involved in creating a new type of “social” Website where developers from all walks of life can work together on their common passion: helping keep Java great. Building and testing code is something all developers understand. The presentation uses that common understanding of the challenges involved to help demonstrate the design and implementation of a unique system built for Java by Java developers.
