• Want to Get Better at Java? Go Old School.

  I will not suggest truly old-school Java programming. When I started in Java, we built Java classes with the javac command. This led to writing shell scripts to build complex projects and finally, Makefiles using the Unix and Windows commands make and nmake respectively. I remember being thrilled when the Ant utility came out and we had a pure Java build tool. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• I am about to write my first code but god has a different plan.

  Didn't know that people still use Ant for building their source code. Source: over 1 year ago

  OP is just running this https://ant.apache.org/, nothing to worry about. Source: over 1 year ago

• Better CI/CD caching with new-gen build systems

  A build system is a program that orchestrates the execution of underlying tools such as compilers, code generators, test runners, linters and so on. Examples of build systems include the venerable Make, the JVM-centric Ant, Maven and Gradle, and newer systems such as Pants and Bazel (full disclosure: I am one of the maintainers of Pants). - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• Build error when running 'nix build', running build steps by hand with 'nix develop' works

  You are missing a dependency: antlr. You have ant instead, which is something completely different. Source: almost 2 years ago

Artifactory mentions (20)

• Where to store executables shared by a team/project

  I kind of hate it, but Artifactory seems popular at companies: https://jfrog.com/artifactory/. Source: 10 months ago

• Adding Virtual Environments to Git Repo

  When not providing all dependencies yourself, you might suffer from people deleting the packages you depend on (IMHO a very rare scenario). If it is really that critical (hint: usually it isn't), create a local mirror of Pypi (full or only the packages you need). Devpi, Artifactory, etc. Can do that or you just dump the necessary files into Cloud storage, so you have a backup. Source: 12 months ago

• Authenticated Docker Hub image pulls in Kubernetes

  Operate a pull-through cache registry, like Artifactory or the open source reference Docker registry. This will allow you to pull images from Docker Hub less frequently, improving your chances of staying under the anonymous usage limit. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• Concretely, how do you trust the experts? That is, how do you a) identify experts relevant to something and b) determine if they have a consensus (and if so, what it is) on a given topic?

  Like suppose for a second that . . . Idk . . . a product team wants our ci workflows to start using Artifactory. Okay great, I don't know Artifactory integration but I'm going to tell them "Sure, I'll get right on that.". Source: about 1 year ago

• What do I do with large "asset" files?

  If these "assets" have an independent release schedule I would treat them separately (especially if they are externally provided). If they are not built from source then treat them as artefacts, they don't belong in git. You can store the in an artefact repository (like Artifactory of Nexus) or (as u/nekokattt points out) in something like S3. Source: about 1 year ago
