Kafka Java Quickstart with Docker

Sat, 29 Jan 2022 00:00:00 +0100

Goals

Setup Kafka and Zookeeper with Docker and docker-compose
Create a message consumer and producer in Java

Kafka Setup

We’re using docker-compose to set up our message broker, zookeper and other stuff using confluent-platform.

This is our docker-compose.yaml config file from Confluent’s following GitHub repository.

MySQL and phpMyAdmin Setup with Docker-Compose

Fri, 14 May 2021 00:00:00 +0200

Goals

Setup mySQL with phpMyAdmin connected using docker-compose (for development purpose)

Prerequisites

docker-compose installed

Setup

This is our docker-compose.yml:

version: '3.2'

services:
   db:
      image: mysql:8.0
      container_name: mysql-container
      restart: always
      ports:
       - '6603:3306'
      environment:
        MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: 12345678

   app:
      depends_on:
       - db
      image: phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin
      container_name: phpmyadmin
      restart: always
      ports:
       - '8080:80'
      environment:
        PMA_HOST: db

Running

docker-compose up
Starting mysql-container ... done
Starting phpmyadmin      ... done
Attaching to mysql-container, phpmyadmin
[..]

We may now login using the following ultra-secure credentials ;) User: root, Password: 12345678

A look at Maven 3 alpha

Sat, 22 May 2010 00:00:00 +0200

We are all waiting for a stable release of Maven3 with following updates ..

faster, more performant .. save us time building our software and some precious memory ;)
improved artifact resolution api and plugin api
better osgi integration
a few bugfixes
no mixing of application dependencies and tooling dependencies
though it does not matter that much to me: polyglot features .. e.g.: “Writing your pom files in Groovy”
version-less parent elements for multi-module or multi-pom projects, no need to define the parent version in every submodule
better artifact resolution, which dependency or pom supplied which artifact to the outcome .. got that information from: “Splitter from the world of Java”

How to add a local lib directory to Maven

Thu, 18 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0100

Sometimes there is a dependency not available at a remote repository and one is too lazy to set up a local maven repository – that’s when one adds a directory in the project structure and wants maven to find dependencies there.

Create a directory called “lib” in the project root

Add the following markup to the pom.xml inside the <repositories>-Tag (create if it does not exist):

<repository>
    <id>lib</id>
    <name>lib</name>
    <releases>
        <enabled>true</enabled>
        <checksumPolicy>ignore</checksumPolicy>
    </releases>
    <snapshots>
        <enabled>false</enabled>
    </snapshots>
    <url>file://${project.basedir}/lib</url>
</repository>
