Brimming with over 100 ''recipes'' for getting down to business and actually doing XP, the Java Extreme Programming Cookbook doesn't try to ''sell'' you on XP; it succinctly documents the most important features of popular open source tools for XP in Java — including Ant, Junit, HttpUnit, Cactus, Tomcat, XDoclet — and then digs right in, providing recipes for implementing the tools in real-world environments. Each recipe offers solutions that help you put an extreme programming environment together: then provides code for automating the build process and testing. Although the time saved using any one of these solutions will more than pay for the book, Java Extreme Programming Cookbook offers more than just a collection of cut-and-paste code. Each recipe also includes explanations of how and why the approach works, so you can adapt the techniques to similar situations.
