May 2009: TidBytes: Some Slightly Larger Tidbits
T1. Why Unstructured Commit Messages are Evil
A case study in automatic Modification Notice generation from Subversion commit messages. The tool is a mashup of various standard JDK supported DSLs such as property files, regular expressions, xpath and javascript. We will look at motivation, implementation and some example mod notices.
T2. Using javac at runtime
How to invoke the compiler at runtime, why you might want to, and how to do it easily and efficiently. A blatant promotion of a little open source project I did a while back.
Discussion: Deeper dive into whatever parts of these tickle your inquisitiveness.
