Many addins were designed as services. Worked on both bug fixes and new enhancements to systems discussed in weekly meetings with management staff. Also was heavily involved with augmenting the existing Ant build scripts to increase functionality with the application build and deployment. The application was deployed onto Windows as well as Linux. We did things like updating the Manifest to include a listing of all signed jar files, and time stamping the jars as well. Application contained some J2EE components as well.
