In many cases we want to test if our application logging is implemented in proper way. This is another easy way to testing what our application logs when we use slf4j framework.

Using slf4j-mock we can mock all logger and assert it as we do with other mocked method.

Feature of library:

  • this binding support for easy create Mockito mock for Logger
  • call to Logger can be delegated to instance of SimpleLogger, so we can create standard simplelogger.properties
  • support for testing and mocking MDC
  • light transitive dependencies - only slf4j-api and mockito-core
  • support testing in parallel in multi thread
  • all the Magic are done by Mockito plugins, so you don’t need to directly use class from this library

Show all maven project dependency at once

Maintenance of current version of dependency is important in every project. In maven project you can use versions-maven-plugin to help find what can be updated.

Maven artifacts pgp keys map

According to Maven Central Repository requirements all artifacts deployed to Central Repository have to provided PGP signatures. All key used to signing artifacts are distributed to public key servers.

We can verify PGP signature of downloaded artifact, but there aren’t place to verify if given public key should be used for specific artifact.

To meet this demand we created map of pgp keys connected with artifacts. So we have information if some key identified by finger print should be used to signing specific artifact.

Website ready in a few evenings

A few days ago I decided to prepare own website. Because I’m not web developer I looking for something easy and ready to use for web layout.

On the other hand, I’m a developer so I like to write a few lines of code by myself.

After some searching I choosed those tools for build website:

  • GitHub Pages for hosting
  • Jekyll for site generating
  • Bootstrap CSS for build the layout
