Annotations can be powerful but only when used to add context and information to the code. But trying to configure your application with them is nothing less that a crime.
Making Thread Dumps Intelligent
When you have to spend hours and hours and mostly on night, weekends and your anniversaries you ask yourself what could I have done better during development to make this all go easy on me.

Unit Testing: EAMSteps
EAMSteps is a framework that makes Unit Testing easier because of its following principles:
– External data store for test data like excel spreadsheet
– Automated assertions using co-related inputs and outputs
– Minimal lines of code to get started
It all started in 2009, when I decided that in long term I would need to have a framework in place that will help me meet my objectives and I started to look for any existing tools. When I did not find any framework that would help me, I decided that it was time to write one and here after 2 years I have something breathing
A new OSS project: iFramework
