Professional JavaTM Tools for Extreme Programming : Ant, XDoclet, JUnit, Cactus, and Maven (Paperback)

Professional Java Tools for Extreme Programming is a practical, code-intensive guide to the tools that Enterprise Java developers need when using Extreme Programming (XP) methods. It covers the key tools used to automate the most complex parts of the XP process: application integration, testing, and deployment.

What does this book cover?

The book covers major new releases of Ant, JUnit, and Cactus, plus important new tools, inlcuding XDoclet, Maven, Anthill, and Eclipse.

The book begins with a brief introduction to XP methods. It then jumps right into the tools, providing a brief overview of the uses and features of each tool. Next come tutorials showing best practices for using the tools — the authors show how each tool is used to develop and test the same sample application, based on Sun's well-known Pet Store example. For each tool, the author provides lots of code examples and directions for setting up scripts for automating that development step
