Execute Groovy as a Shell-Script

A colleague of me told me today that it is possible to run Scala Scripts directly in a shell. Because i am more familiar with Groovy i started some research if it is possible to do this with Groovy as well. To do it short: Yes we can :-) Take a look: http://groovy.codehaus.org/Running

JavaFX SceneBuilder or how to add more Cols and Rows to a GridPane

Yeah, i know it sounds simple: add some additional columns and / or rows to a GridPane with the SceneBuilder. Minute over minute i looked at the Properties-View of the GridPane but no way to add columns or rows.
Solution: right click on the GridPane in the hierachy view and simply select what you want to do ;-)

Android Dependencies in local maven repo

After my last blog you may ask: "what about android dependencies that are not part of public maven repositories? I like to have 4.4.2 but everthing i found was 4.1.1!" Don't worry :-) There is a nice tool to install all android dependencies in your local repository. So take a look:

Maven for Android

For all of you who won't miss Maven Support in your Android Projects:
https://code.google.com/p/maven-android-plugin/

This Maven-Plugin helps you building an Android Application (apk) and manage necessary Dependencies. Nice one :-)

Wohooo! Didn't know that i already have a blog :-). But good too know. So lets start with some Java Stuff.
Yesterday i installed the latestet version of the Android Development Toolkit. Most of my projects make use of Maven so i also tried to install the M2E Maven Eclipse integration. But i had no luck. The installation quit with a missing dependency (com.google.guave). The solution came to me in form of a two year old stackoverflow thread: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11391297/maven-android-and-eclipse-coexistence-problems
Install the M2E from the following update site: http://rgladwell.github.com/m2e-android/updates/master/
That worked for me :-) Happy Coding
