Full Name: Vincent Massol
Who am I?
I'm Technical Director of XWiki, a second generation wiki. My full bio is available on linkedin.
I'm really interested in anything that can make computer development a better "science", i.e. that helps the software engineering discipline. As a consequence, I've been researching and participating in the following areas over the past few years:
- Development methodologies and especially applying agile methodologies in the field.
- Tools / frameworks, especially in the domain of Builds, Tests and generally quality control.
Open source participations
Current open source projects I am still participating to:
- Cactus : JUnit extension to perform in-container unit testing of J2EE applications
- Maven : Next generation project build tool. I have especially created the following Maven plugins (initial creation - lots of people have helped since then):
- Pattern Testing : concept based on AspectJ to perform testing of architecture patterns. This concept is now reused in the new proposal for Cactus 2 architecture.
- JUnit in Action source code: I have donated all source code from my JUnit in Action book to the open source community under an Apache license.
- Maven: A Developer's notebook: I have donated all source code from the Maven book to the open source community under an Apache license.
- Cargo: Java API to start/stop and configure Java containers.
- XWiki: second generation wiki
- Maven2 : I am participating to design discussions. I have created the following plugins (initial creation - lots of people have helped since then):
Open source projects I have participated to at some point in time but where I'm no longer active:
- MockObjects: strategy for unit testing code in isolation
- Struts: framework for building Java web applications
- Gump: continuous integration tool
