Updating the local code base from the revision control system
Picking up a task from the issue / task management system
Writing the tests for the tasks that they are implementing
Writing the code to implement the tasks
Running a local build, and checking that code compiles, and all existing and new
tests execute successfully
Updating and merging changes in case multiple commits have been made while the
programmer was coding
Committing the code
Once your team is here, you know you have done a good job developing not only software,
but also shaping individuals and building teams. This, for the senior developers, can be an
extremely rewarding experience.

Working in offline mode
Stuck on a tropical island with no Internet access? Will you give in to that intrinsic urge to
write more code?
Maven, always a good friend of the developer, lets you work away from centralized SCMs,
central repositories, and issue tracking systems. It's called the Maven offline mode.
Getting ready
You will need an existing or new project to work on. If your project has dependencies
that are not available on the local repository, make sure you have the packages
JAR/WAR/EAR available.
