		<title>Repository for maven-timestamp-plugin added</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A while back I released the maven timestamp plugin. While I was not able to convince the gatekeepers of the central repository that it is worthy to add (I mean after all that thing is trivial), some 370+ users have already downloaded and used it. 
So, to make things easier I added a maven repository [...]]]></description>

		<title>Whats all the fuss about spring source charging big money?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know, i know, most bloggers usually make very bad fact checkers, but this is just absurd. The bruhaha around SpringSource&#8217;s decision to charge money for their binary (only binary) releases, finally got so big that I decided to call up a sales rep. Reports of astronomical sums, one blogger mentioned 22.000 US$, totally scared [...]]]></description>

		<title>Maven Timestamp plugin 0.1 released</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just released my first maven plugin. It&#8217;s really the simplest possible piece of code you could imagine, but yet it makes it&#8217;s goal (addings a timestamp variable to your build process) a piece of cake. You can find it at http://code.google.com/p/maven-timestamp-plugin/ along with a bugtracker and some docs.
Now, why would I write something as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Matching XML content with XPath &#8211; the magic is in the &#8216;.&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes it&#8217;s the simple things that make you wonder how they are done on a high level. For example, if you are wondering how you&#8217;d match the content of a node in Xpath, you might think to yourself: &#8220;Gee I really would like to know which food-nodes in my xml document contain the word &#8216;Donuts&#8217; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Deleting packages with Eclipse and Subversion / Subversive plugin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Something I just can&#8217;t wrap my head around is the sheer brittleness of development with a Subversion repository. While I do realize that this technology is way younger than the old cvs, it just boggles that mind what kind of crazy bugs you come across. 
My pet peeve was this one bug, where you&#8217;d delete [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spring 2.5 and the runtime paradigm shift</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just finished reading up on the new features of Spring 2.5 and I have to say I&#8217;m pretty excited. One thing that bothered me from the start of the Spring project has always been the need for xml wiring of components. No matter what you do in Spring land, you will have to create [...]]]></description>

		<title>Never mix Spring transactional aop:advice and TransactionProxy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;just don&#8217;t do it. I used to work with TransactionProxyFactoryBean quite a lot, back then when Spring 1.x was out and it worked quite nicely &#8211; especially when dealing with HibernateInterceptor as a preInterceptor it was quite useful. So imagine my surprise when I tried to mix out the new, shiny Spring 2.0 &#60;aop:advice&#62; anotation [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fixing crashy Eclipse installations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been suffering permanent Eclipse crashes. Especially when developing with the WTP on Tomcat. I found that it just takes some tweakage on the eclipse.ini file to get rid of this noisy little OutOfMemoryException permGen fucker. Here it is, my eclipse.ini. It works like a charm for me.

		<title>Fixing your Windows MBR after fu**ing it up with ubuntu or grub</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know I sinned. But Bill Gates wrath was mercyless. I screwed up my MBR on my primary harddrive with an ubuntu install and nothing worked anymore. I couldn&#8217;t boot either system up because my MBR got overwritten and then something horrible happened.
Well, to make a long story short &#8211; the only way I found [...]]]></description>

		<title>3 tools I really dig</title>

 First I&#8217;d like to mention the fabulous TreeSize, which shows you the size of your directories in a Treeview. For fans of the good old Directory Opus which, by the [...]]]></description>
