John Ferguson Smart on Java Power Tools
John Ferguson Smart's long-awaited book, Java Power Tools, is due to be published by O'Reilly Media in March 2008. 
In this episode of JavaWorld's Java Technology Insider, John talks with Andrew Glover about some of the open source tools
he's most likely to use for agile development on the Java platform, including Maven 2, Subversion, Hudson, DBUnit, Selenium,
JUnit 4.4, and more. Tune in to this discussion where Andrew picks John's brain about some of the top tools for writing, testing,
measuring, documenting, and maintaining quality code in today's fast paced and competitive development world.
- It's too late to be the first kid on your block to own a copy of Java Power Tools, but you can still pre-order it from O'Reilly Media.
- Looking for something to do while you wait for the book? Check out John's most recent contribution to JavaWorld: "Merging and branching in Subversion 2.5" (January 2008).
- Also check out the "official unofficial" Java Power Tools homepage, which features the Java Power Tools polls (real numbers on the build, testing, issue tracking, etc., tools other developers use).
- Andrew Glover is president of Stelligent Incorporated, which helps companies address software quality with effective developer testing strategies and continuous integration techniques that enable teams to monitor code quality early and often.
