I have a working dns (bind9) and dhcpd running on my home lan. This adds dynamic dns updates from dhcpd to bind9.

The following is mostly based on http://www.semicomplete.com/articles/dynamic-dns-with-dhcp/. Kudos til Trygve Laugstøl for assistance too

Given that the pom has a correctly configured scm tag section then it's just a case of finding the browsable file.

Normally mercurial repo's are exposed using hgweb.cgi or hgwebdir.cgi.

Not sure about hgweb - use hgwebdir myself - but - the trick is to grab the raw file version of the tip revision. Once continuum can grab this then it will use the scm tags to get the project.

https://server/hgwebdircontext/project/raw-file/tip/pom.xml

NOTE

When you run hg clone to grab the repository it will always check out the entire repository.

This drives me nuts. Latest today (gigaset.siemens.com) - the contact form simply rejects e-mail addresses with a + in them (perfectly valid according to the standards/RFC's - see http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html 3.2.4 Atom - definition of atext).

Just a reminder to order this for OW when it comes out

The latest update to Mac OSX 10.5.3 now includes inbuilt google/address book synchronization.

However - after updating and adding my login details for gmail to addressbook it just seemed to hang with:

Can't connect to the sync server: NSInvalidReceivePortException: connection went invalid
while waiting for a reply ((null))

The solution was to remove the contents of

~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices/Local

and try again.

Note that for account name it needed the full e-mail address complete with googlemail.com domain.

Update

Mercurial - like some other distributed version control systems works such that each developer has a full value repository - there is no real master other than by convention in a team.

To set up your maven project so that the scm configuration points to a developers local repo:

    <scm>
        <connection>scm:hg:file://${basedir}</connection>
        <developerConnection>scm:hg:file://${basedir}</developerConnection>
    </scm>

Why do most people use Load Time Weaving (LTW)? It requires replacing the javaagent/classloader of your JVM which can lead to all sorts of issues.

Let's take a look at getting Compile Time Weaving (CTW) instead.

This post is using spring 2.5.2, aspectj 1.5.4, java 1.5. (Spring 2.5.4 uses a later version of weaver (3.0 vs. 5.0) - I assume AspectJ 1.6.0 but the aspectj-maven-plugin is also based around 1.5.4 - so for now we'll stick with this combination.)
