Maven clean install command explained

Maven is a popular build automation and project management tool primarily used for Java projects. Java developers often run the maven clean install command to build Java projects. In this blog post, I will try to explain what the maven clean install command does. Let us break down this command.   Clean This part of the command tells Maven to clean the project. Cleaning a project means removing all the build artifacts (compiled classes, libraries, generated files, etc.) from previous builds. This ensures that you start with a clean slate before building the project again. It’s particularly useful to eliminate any potential issues caused by leftover artifacts from previous builds.   Install   This part of the command tells Maven to build and package the project and then install the resulting artifact(s) into the local Maven repository. The local repository is a local cache where Maven stores project dependencies and artifacts. When you use “install,” the ...

Hibernate List and Set Mapping with code samples

Image
In my earlier article, I gave an introduction to Hibernate Collection mapping. In this article, I will be covering how you can use this feature to map a List or Set to a database table. When to use Collection Mapping Sometimes, your entity may have a field which is a Collection of primitive types. You may want to store these values in the database. In such a case, you cannot use a OneToMany association since the target Collection has primitive values. The Collection Mapping feature is useful in such scenarios. @ElementCollection annotation Just to recap my earlier article, Hibernate/JPA supports the @ElementCollection annotation.  You need to specify this annotation on the Collection that you want to persist to the database. Consider the following Student class: @Entitypublic class Student { @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.IDENTITY) private int id; private String name; @ElementCollection private List<Integer> marks; //getters and setters} The Studen...

How to check if a Date is before or after another Date

In this article, I will be covering how to can check if a date is before or after another Date. You can achieve this using the java.util.Date , java.util.Calendar classes or the new Java 8 java.util.LocalDate class. Using Date class Using the java.util.Date class, there are two ways to check if a date is before or after another Date. You can either use the before/after method or the compareTo method. Using Before/After The java.util.Date class has methods before() and after() . You can use these methods to compare two dates. These methods work as follows: The before method returns true if the date on which is it invoked is before the specified date, otherwise it returns false. The after method returns true if the date on which is it invoked is after the specified date, otherwise it returns false. The following code demonstrates this: SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");Date date1 = simpleDateFormat.parse("2014-08-08");Date date2...
