Proximity

I use Proximity as Maven mirror. If you need a new repository to use the artifacts for your project, you have to change three XML files to add it, which is a not easy and every time you have to copy and paste some parts of the configuration and have to change them manually. Because I’m a lazy developer I have written a script to create the necessary XML tags. You can download it from the server. Check the path of the Proximity installation within the script, per default it is set to $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/proximity. The script contains only a basic logic, you can enhance it with more complex things. The new repository will be added to the “public” repository group, which is set as the mirror within the Maven configuration file.

The current status of PhOSCo.NG

In the last 6 month I hadn’t enough time to going forward with PhOSCo.NG. The birth of my daughter has stopped my excessive programming thread and pushed the priority of the daddy-thread on a high level. The most important task on PhOSCo.NG is always the design and the implementation of the access control system. I have read some articles about Spring Security, but it’s not flexible enough to model the requirements. Till now I have tested some versions of my own system, but no-one was really nice. I hope I can finish it in July.
