Ideal Build Setup

This is sort of my idea of what you should have for a good Java shop.

	Git Community rating: 4 Notes: Nothing to say here.
	JUnit Community rating: 4 Notes: The de facto unit test framework.
	Debian Community rating: 4 Notes: Best Linux distribution for the server.
	Jenkins Community rating: 4 Notes: Setting up Jenkins takes minimal effort and it's free.
	Cobertura Community rating: 4 Notes: You'd be surprised how bad your unit tests are.
	FindBugs Community rating: 4 Notes: You'd be surprised how bad your code is.
J	jira Notes: If you're going to buy a release management tool, I guess you should at least get one that's not too bad.
A	ant Community rating: 4 Notes: One day I'll learn maven.
	JBoss Application Server Community rating: 4 Notes: Paying a lot of money for an app server is kinda dumb when JBoss is so good.
	PostgreSQL Database Server Community rating: 4 Notes: Postgres is a good database. I'm surprised that people don't use it as much as MySQL.

What is a Stack?

It's a list of software used to accomplish something. LAMP is an example.

To add a project to your stack, click 'Show Recommendations for this Stack' at the top middle of this page and then click 'I use this' on the projects you use.
