Maybe you have no­ticed: we have re­cent­ly changed our de­vel­op­er ac­cess for­mu­la - based on cus­tomer feed­back. Where­as the 'old' for­mu­la used to be tick­et-based and ex­pired af­ter 1 month, the new de­vel­op­er ac­cess is as fol­lows:

• There is no lim­it on the num­ber of is­sues
• Ex­piry is af­ter ei­ther 3 or 6 months (your choice) - which gives you plen­ty of time to ex­per­i­ment
• There is, how­ev­er, a lim­it of 1 named con­tact at the side of the cus­tomer

Again, this is based on in­put we got from sev­er­al cus­tomers and prospects. Thanks for your feed­back!

PS yes, the old for­mu­la has been dis­con­tin­ued: we too ex­pe­ri­enced prob­lems with the is­sue lim­it...

UPDATE 2018: we now only have sub­scrip­tions - where de­vel­op­er ac­cess is a in­clud­ed in the of­fer­ing...

Our maven in­te­gra­tion has not been the most flu­ent thing we ever did, but we now seem to have gained some trac­tion in the right di­rec­tion (thanks to com­mu­ni­ty hints, some sol­id team­work and hours of ad­di­tion­al brain-storm­ing). Here is a quick up­date on where we are:

• Upload to maven cen­tral is work­ing but not yet op­ti­mal (we're work­ing on that).
• Mean­while, we're also re-eval­u­at­ing our en­tire build en­vi­ron­ment to op­ti­mize for maven builds (i.e., switch­ing from ant to maven en­tire­ly).
• We're also re­struc­tur­ing our SVN repos­i­to­ry so it has op­ti­mal sup­port for our busi­ness mod­el.

As you can see, we're not afraid to throw away any­thing in our quest to im­prove things Con­trary to what I ex­pect­ed, go­ing from ant to maven seems to sim­pli­fy our build af­ter all: maven seems to be ma­tur­ing, and new team mem­bers tend to know maven bet­ter than ant.

All these changes have quite some im­pact on the ar­chi­tec­ture of our build ecosys­tem, so we can't just do them overnight. How­ev­er, we would like to have them ready be­fore we bring out the next ma­jor new re­lease(s).

Thank you for your pa­tience!

We had sched­uled au­to­mat­ic synch­ing with Maven's cen­tral repos­i­to­ry for our 3.6 re­lease but so far we didn't man­age to get it to work. The rea­sons for this are main­ly tech­ni­cal ones at the lev­el of the syn­chro­niza­tion pro­to­col (rsync) and se­cu­ri­ty re­quire­ments.

Any­way, we are still look­ing for a good way to do this so we haven't giv­en up yet. It's just a bit more com­plex than we hoped for.

All feed­back is wel­come!

If you have been here re­cent­ly then you will know al­ready: our new site is fi­nal­ly on­line, live for every­one!

The in­tent was to re­vamp our site into a place that per­fect­ly aligns with both our com­mu­ni­ty and our busi­ness goals, and I think we have suc­ceed­ed at do­ing so - but I will let you be the judge of that.

Thanks to every­body in the team for mak­ing this pos­si­ble. To all our vis­i­tors I would say: en­joy!
