Right now I am spending my last night this year in Skopje, Macedonia. We had a great day with wonderful colleagues, discussed many interesting opportunities and I even spent 15 boring minutes writing some code… only indirectly related to JADE… what does that mean? See…
The last two entries have been concerned with all those wonderful infrastructure ideas for a roguelike game… the temptation as bug but luckily Qi4j is still so woefully alpha that I failed to even compile the libraries (I would have needed Maven… which I had… but still it didn’t create anything… I hate Maven… it’s probably the most productivity-reducing productivity tool I have ever seen…).
But I just wrote some interfaces without commenting most of the stuff (I think one interface has a sentence or two) just to wrap my mind about a more Qi4j like approach.
The result… some javadoc posted to the website (ignore the JADE title… that’s not JADE), the impression that it is no simple thing to rewrite everything just for the sake of it and the wish to continue working on JADE as soon as possible. And it’s not much… but hey, I had but 15 minutes to think about that ;-) Now I just need to get further work on JADE in its current state coordinated with Christmas and finishing my Ph.D. The latter will definitely have highest priority in order to be able to end this topic forever 
See ya.

Adom’s 15th anniversary is near isn’t it?
Could you do something special when that day comes… I mean like revealing kind some mayor secret concerning Adom in that day.

Hm, Thomas, as I said to you two weeks or so ago: Try to use AspectJ to compose the interfaces. Another alternative IMO would be composition of Scala traits (they can implement Java interfaces), but thats a harder “gap”. I think AspectJ 5 would be perfectly suitable.

I share your feeling about Maven.
The base concept has some good points and there are some good plugins but the overall community isn’t enough strict on their release quality. I can’t count the number of useful attracting plugin that proved to be too buggy and a lot of time lost. I feel that this lack of serious approach is coming from Maven itself, it’s documentation, it’s site, it’s management (or lack of management). Ha well.

Hi,
seams as if your Trackbacks do not work or are deactivated.
Look here for some little Scala examples with RPG background:
