As the project progressed, and deadlines approached, the UML diagrams were left somewhere behind, not to be updated in months. When a new developer joined the team, we showcased the old UML diagrams, and kept telling "Oh, we never had time to update them, please see the source code to get... http://architects.dzone.com/articles/reverse-engineer-source-code-u#comments ant Hudson java UML http://architects.dzone.com/crss/node/4650 Fri, 22 Aug 2008 05:37:28 -0400 3477 30 meera http://architects.dzone.com/sites/all/files/avatars/picture-8.jpg Fri, 22 Aug 2008 05:37:28 -0400 meera 4650 at http://architects.dzone.com http://architects.dzone.com/articles/visual-documentation-ant-depen An automated build process with Ant is one of the most crucial things required in any CI process. Ant is the build tool of choice for many Enterprise Java projects. This is an XML file, usually called build.xml, which describes a project's dependencies.

JAX-WS 2.0 allows both regular Java classes and stateless EJBs(Session beans) to be exposed as web services. The JAX-WS 2.0 is the core specification that defines the web services standard for Java EE 5 specification.
