Not a Java expert. With that said I disagree with your conclusion because this happens for many other reasons in C/C++ source code repositories. The question I believe that is relevant is what programming language/environment alleviates these kinds of complications?

I'm not being completely serious in my posts that it's probably the people's fault but I don't really see any thing that would suggest it's not. The open source libs that my team uses get pulled from git and packaged into our project. We would not want to use some jar just downloaded off the web and put into a folder. Which I can very much see a person doing that I consider not organized or just doesn't care.

iosys: You realize you are having this debate with people that have many more years of experience than you do, right?

irt to unfounded language criticism, weren't you the one who dismissed Python as training wheels and a language not used in the real world?

And how is having open-source libraries unique to Java?

Anyone get approval for work hours to spend on books or online courses as professional development? Planning on floating that in the near future, like four hours/one afternoon a week or such. My work is generally happy to buy books or send people away for days of vendor training, recent examples within my team: four days of AWS training, going to Vegas for a week for a Splunk conference, or going to Georgia for a week for iOS training. My reason being is management always wants us to learn a million different things, like in the past few weeks Node.js, Ruby, and digital analytics, but I couldn't see myself prioritizing work time for learning any of these things over the projects I'm working on.

It's pretty much assumed that you read that stuff in your free time at most places I think (and actually enjoy it) but it can't hurt to ask. Good places are always interested in their employees learning new things and as long as it's reasonable I think you should ask. Turning one workday into a halfday with the other half dedicated to learning something useful sounds like a good opening bid.

I'd suggest Monday since most people assume less productivity on Mondays anyways so you can use the first half of the day to do the urgent stuff that piled up over the weekend (if that's usually a lot suggest Friday instead) and the other half for learning.

Make sure that you point out that learning makes you a better/faster/more efficient programmer and it's a good midterm +EV move for the company.

Lol, I honestly don't know what everyone's point is right now. So let me be completely clear: Dependency management is an inherently hard problem. It's hard regardless of the language you're using.

Different languages have different tools/features/whatevers for dealing with this problem. Things like rvm, gems, virtualenv, pip, maven, ivy, classpaths, whatever.

In general, these tools help but there can still be problems. That's not surprising since, like we've covered, its an inherently hard problem.

iosys, I'm glad that just packaging jars in source control works for you. Keep on keeping on. But there are a lot of tools built that make life easier after your project gets past a certain complexity. Using these tools has nothing to do with being lazy, careless or whatever. Nor does not using those tools if you don't need them.

There's no one right way.

Maybe it's just a case of you had to have been there to understand, which I can get but I don't think that is worth mentioning when it happens rarely and can happen with whatever language you use.

Are you saying that your team does not use any dependency tool like Maven and you are only doing git clones from open source libs then drag-and-dropping .jar files to your file system?

"20% time" is trendy. Some companies give you friday to work on... whatever. I don't know if it's totally open, but the congnicasts I've listened to make me think they were pretty loose about what they allowed at Relevance/Cognitect.

How did you read my posts and come anywhere near thinking that?

Team uses github and we don't drag and drop jar files rofl.

The post above is what I thought you were referring to...

The post you quoted is what I do for small self projects but if it's an android project I typically like to create a separate package in my src folder that contains the class files of the libs(team projects are more along those lines).

IDK I apologize for doing what others have done in this discussion.

Edit: I have seen a horror show of someone that had imported libs into eclipse as projects(Android).
The developer used them as libraries and relied on the same library imported into eclipse for multiple libraries creating a spider web of builds being broken/fixed on startup.

I'm astonished that people -- especially professional teams -- program without a dependency and package manager.

Is your team is two-layered, where one team checks that nothing breaks then pushes the ensured code to a private repo and the next team doesn't have to worry about it?

Yah it's sort of like that but it depends on what the goal is if that makes any sense. We sort of do experimental stuff with using things developed in house with a mixture of open source libs.

No way do I consider it the best work environment since there are many hoops that have to be jumped because of the company rules.

My team is very small which makes a big difference about keeping things organized. Such as around five people and never all working on the same project but cross-platform solutions that involve the project. Each person has their own platform that they enjoy the most, mine is android but I go back and forth between C# (Windows project) and javascript (Browser project).

Lol.

What would you say is the average number of libraries that you're using? How often do you add a new library or update an existing one?

Let me know when you understand what is actually happening with all of the libraries.

Edit: I should also point out that a bunch of libraries (guava, commons-*, log4j, ...) are also being used by a bunch of the libraries in that list.

Oh, and the grand total is 91M in size.

I've only been sort of half paying attention to this argument, but it made me reflect on something I've always noticed about programming disagreements and which I'd like to dub The Purity of Soul Fallacy: the person arguing that the problems with X aren't really problems when the programmer is careful/skilled/experienced/pure enough... is always wrong.

Anyone have any experience with testing angularjs? I'm using jasmine, and angular-mocks and for some reason my second ajax call on the page load keeps throwing this error. Basic structure: load external data from an API, then load local edited data from a rails server. Probably something simple, but I can't seem to find any blog posts/SO posts about having multiple ajax mocks. Maybe I'm doing this totally wrong since it's a unit test.

"Error: Unexpected request: GET /dashboard/edits?timePeriod=%222014-03-17T14:13:30.516Z%22
No more request expected"

I once had a problem with something like this where the problem was that I was mocking a call with a specific detailed date. So the date expected by the mock is off by a couple of ms from the date actually called in the test.

There should be a way to write the mock so you don't need to specify the exact date coming in.

ya, that was definitely the problem. If I just stub out the date to be $scope.dt = new Date('3/3/2012') in my controller, and copy and paste @http.whenGET('/dashboard/edits?timePeriod=%222012-03-03T07:00:00.000Z%22').respond(200, @savedEdits) the tests run.

So I need a way to replicate it so the date is a consistent parameter. There probably is a way to make it so you can ignore the parameters, but I'm struggling to find it.
