In February this year the agile movement completed 11 years of existence. I
am sure you are either using some form of agile methodology or examining the
possibility of using them. But, are you aware of how the agile movement
happened? Did it happen by chance or was it inevitable? Do you know what
influenced the agile manifesto? Who the authors are? What are their
backgrounds and what do they do now? How was the name “Agile” selected?
The Influencers

significant influence on the manifesto – they are:
Scrum (Jeff Sutherland and Ken Schwaber – also Mike Beedle) DSDM (DSDM
Consortium represented by Arie van Bennekum) ASD (Jim Highsmith) XP (Kent

I would like to introduce the m2e project, a project that combines the power
of Maven with the usability of Eclipse. In this article, I'm going to talk
about our plans for the m2e project: where it is today, and where we intend
to take the project. M2e is more than just a Maven plugin for Eclipse. While

set on a much more audacious goal. We're using the m2e project as an effort
to bring solid build automation to Eclipse by providing Maven as a solution
for building Eclipse plugins and the Eclipse platfo... (more)
