Finding Latest Versions of Dependencies With Maven
Submitted by Tomek Kaczanowski on Fri, 10/03/2014 - 16:55From time to time it is good to see what are the latest versions of the libraries you use (because maybe you would like to upgrade). With Maven you can use the Versions Maven Plugin, but you will get better results if you add a simple bash script. Let me show you how.
KDE vs. Gnome vs. Unity vs. Windows 3.1
Submitted by Tomek Kaczanowski on Thu, 09/11/2014 - 21:30Recently during the lunch at work, we have discussed the operating systems. You know, the usual Windows vs. Linux vs. Mac stuff.

Intellij Idea + AsciiDoctor
Submitted by Tomek Kaczanowski on Sat, 04/19/2014 - 16:50For one of my projects I write documentation using AsciiDoc. Sometimes I use IntelliJ Idea for this. Up till now, Idea used to treat AsciiDoc files (which I usually name with .adoc
extension) as normal txt
files. Yesterday, when I opened one of my AsciiDoc files in Idea, I was very surprised to learn that there is a plugin which can help me with the edition of such file. I installed it, and... well, I'm excited to tell you it works very good!
