Regarding: "I saw it in a bookstore, and it looked like half of it was an API reference. Can you verify this?"
Actually it is a 500 page book and only 150 pages are API Reference. The API reference includes sample code so it is not just a rehash of the APIs. The book's spec. out was 350 pages and is priced like a 350 page book so you could consider the API reference free. :o) I like the idea of an API reference as a quick reference guide that is why I added it to the book. Java Tools for eXtreme Programming describes techniques for implementing the Extreme Programming practices of Automated Testing and Continuous Integration using Open Source tools, e.g., Ant, JUnit, HttpUnit, Cactus, JMeter, and much more. The book contains small examples and tutorials on each tool. The examples cover building, deploying, and testing Java and J2EE applications. In addition to small examples, there are larger case studies. The case studies are larger more realistic examples. We have case studies and examples involving XSLT, EJB, Struts, TagLibs, JDBC, etc. Each case study is complete with an ant build script and several tests, written with JUnit, HttpUnit, Cactus, JUnitPerf and/or JMeter. The case studies focus on building, deploying and testing J2EE applications with Ant and JUnit. There is also a reference section for APIs. Instead of rehashing the API documentation, the reference section has example usage, i.e., code examples for the important classes and methods. Although this book speaks from an XP perspective, you need not practice XP to benefit from it. For example, you do not have to adopt the entire XP methodology to get value out of this book. Automated testing, for example, can help you refactor code regardless of whether you are doing pair programming or not. Continuous integration can help you detect and fix problems early in the lifecycle of the system regardless of whether your customer is on site or not.
