Summary

Learn how to use the hottest new Java open source tools for eXtreme Programming eXtreme Programming (XP) is a new development methodology for building software systems quickly without sacrificing quality. New Java open source tools have appeared recently that help with the most time-consuming and difficult part of the XP process-testing, integration, and deployment. Java Tools for eXtreme Programming is the first complete guide to using those tools for XP. Throughout the book, author Richard Hightower uses a sample application to demonstrate how each Java tool is used. For each tool, he provides a concise description of key concepts, plenty of code examples, and directions for setting up scripts for automating the development step in which the tool is used. The book also features a detailed reference to each of the major tools, complete with coding examples. XP is the most popular new development methodology A practical, code-intensive guide to the tools that enterprise Java developers need when using the XP methodology to build applications Companion Web site features sample code, XP software tool updates, and links to useful XP sites.
