Many know Arquillian as a great integration, functional, acceptance testing platform. Until recently, I thought of it solely as a great Java EE tool, but an Arquillian extension, known as Droidium, allows you to use Arquillian to help drive your Android testing. I spent some time tonight trying to get it set up for Cub Tracker and thought I'd share what (little) I have so far.

While it might simply be a case of noticing what you're thinking about, it seems the tool has been gaining more and more momentum. From AsciiDoctor to Awestruct , to Jason Porter's Maven plugin , it seems to be everywhere. At any rate, in need of a break, I wondered if I could leverage AsciiDoctor's Java integration library and JavaFX to make a simple editor. It's basic and ugly, but here's what I have.
