when configuring a plugin in the root pom in <pluginMgmt> how can I reference a file in the root folder such that modules will correctly resolve that path to the root and not within the module itself? i tried maven.multiModuleProjectDirectory but that always resolves to the module. i'm on 4.0.0-rc-5

Today's wordle is for all the Commodore computer aficionados.

My new goal is to, by next summer, become the greatest pole vaulter in history. But that's a pretty high bar.

Just two dudes who love each other.

Apparently today is Nelson Mandela Day. I could've sworn that was last month...

Wishing @mayers.io, one of the most helpful #Java community sherpas in the developer ecosystem, a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Asking an AI agent to write your code is a lot like asking some person on fiverr to bang out some code for you. It'll cost you a few bucks, perhaps, in tokens and you have to scrutinize the hell out of the code you get back. but it beats working for a living.

Every time I leave early to account for delays on the subway the MTA rises to the challenge.

i wish i could get in to pottery. i'd make a kiln.

I just learned that back in the day, TLC (The Learning Channel) was in the process of creating a programming block called Medical Mondays. They already had shows like ER, Grey's Anatomy, and House. NBC heard about it and offered Scrubs. But TLC turned them down because TLC don't want no Scrubs.

Happy Pride Month to all my trans, gay, and queer friends, family, and loved ones. In a country increasingly antagonistic, I hope this month especially you know how loved you are no matter where you are in the Alphabet Mafia.

OTD…May 23, 1995 Happy Birthday, #Java! Here’s to 30+ more years with a beautiful combination of technology innovation and community participation!

To all those who celebrate, happy May the Fourth. And to those who don't, I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Reading a HN thread, I was reminded of the missed opportunity flutter has been for google. When dart 1 turned out to be a steaming pile, they had a chance to leverage the hordes of kotlin developers already making android apps. Instead they invented yet another language.

It's finally here! JRuby 10 has been released with support for Ruby 3.4 (including 3.2 and 3.3 updates as well). Minimum Java version has been bumped up to Java 21, allowing us to support modern JVM features. Check out the release notes and start migrating today! www.jruby.org/2025/04/14/j...

Found a fun bug in the new #assassinscreed. If you try to go up a hill that's too steep, you'll slide back down. But you can steer and if you steer just right, you can slide up the hill.

@ebullient.dev talking about @commonhaus.org at @devnexus.bsky.social with Yolande and @neo4j.bsky.social #commonhaus #foreverHome

Today on international womens day I want to shoutout to @ebullient.dev , she is the driving force behind @commonhaus.org . Passion and enthusiasm as its best…keep it going Erin 💪🏻🤗

Goddamn. If reading fantasy is your jam, do yourself a favor and "The Will of the Many."

Had a good crowd for my bytecode talk at @jfokus.se . It was my first time giving this talk so there's some room for refinement but it was a lot of fun. It's always lovely being back in Stockholm and I can't wait for next year!

I had the coolest "the earth is round" experience this morning. We took off in the cold and dark and flew up to the sunrise. We went from can't see my own hands to MY EYES in minutes.

I ordered some timtams from amazon the other day (iykyk) and we were terribly excited for them to arrive. It was an assortment of 6 different boxes (5 different flavors).

I'm so hungry. But I can't get up.

The longest continuously running and largest #Java conference in North America is… @devnexus

If you like to bleed a little, Maven 4.0.0-rc-2 is out. maven.apache.org/docs/4.0.0-r...

on the @espn.com college football page i get a section in the news labeled NBA with a story from from the NFL. 🤷🏻

Breaking Benjamin is my top artist again this year making it at least 5 years running. Volbeat and Taylor Swift dropped from the top 5 though. 😅 #SpotifyWrapped

Progress update: everything "compiles" now but I had to comment out some bits to incrementally fix. Also @quarkus.io doesn't appear to like maven 4 so I locked it down with a .sdkmanrc

i've finally started the long, tedious process of upgrading a (pre-1.0) dropwizard/freemarker app to @quarkus.io/qute. So much noise and dust but i'm excited about the process. I'll have to replace the auth mechanism, too.

It's Dec 1 so you know what that mean! It's time to start adventofcode.com/2024 and hopefully last longer than a week at it this time. :) I'm doing it in kotlin again this year. Anyone else joining the fun?

Which of the old testament prophets would take the ring to Mount Doom? Jeremiah wouldn't. Ezekiel wouldn't. Elijah would.

If you are not sure what is happening in your Apache Maven build, then run the following command to find out: mvn buildplan:list-phase You will get a nice list of plugins/goals and in which phase they are running.

I'm not usually a sticker guy but this one's kind of awesome. It's a stickerfied version of some custom graffiti at an event in Paris.

I'm riding a bus for an hour to try a doughnut shop I just heard about. 🤷‍♂️
