Why the blog?

To record development problems and hopefully subsequent solutions when working on an ongoing Java project.

When I started on this project, it was already 5 years old. I thought it would be useful see how introducing some XP techniques might help reduce some unwanted artifacts

A test-driven re-write would be my preference, but as is so typical, this has been ruled out as too much work.

So, hopefully continuous gradual change in the right direction will help.

I installed and set up Cruisecontrol to execute a build on every source control check-in.
The build compiles the app and then runs tests - that dont yet exist. Even without tests, knowing that the checked-in code compiles is an improvement...
