Just recently I showed interest for the oracle class for Java Embedded. Since I always had an interest for hardware and similar things I thought this is an opportunity. Getting the hardware imposed to be a problem. The preferred supplier could not deliver the goods in any reasonable time frame, or at least I was told so by a colleague. But my employer arranged a study group. They even supplied us with the required hardware.
Since the introduction of Java CDI container my focus is on building applications without the usage of any Spring libraries. It’s not that I do not like Spring, but since CDI I don’t really need a heavy weight DI container in my application anymore. When looking at EE 7 even more of the stuff that is provided by Spring comes out of the box.
One thing that I do miss in the EE specification is the handling of properties.

TheMaven Site plugin uses by default theapt format. Although it is a simple and straight forward format I personally prefer the Confluence markup and DocBook. Confluence I use for my personal Wiki and at various projects I use DocBook for the documentation.
Under the hood of theMaven site plugin runs the Doxia plugin. The documentation of the Site plugin is not really clear on this part. I stumbled on this some time ago.
