Best practices for sharing gatling testing base - java

I need an advice on the code organisation and the tests sharing.
Let me start with describing the situation: we have an architecture where every separate team develops its own unique business component and their codebases don't really interfere with each other with each other. These are Node.js projects though, but the technologies behind them don't really matter.
One of the teams decided to create the gatling for load testing of its application and created a small, but very useful though project. And it worked just fine, so many other teams decided to adopt this project for their own purposes, slightly changing scenarios, but leaving the same simulation code setup etc. Not familiar with java/scala/maven etc... they just copied the whole project into the subfolder of the npm project.
Of course this makes it impossible for the centralised “core” changes and any other maintenance.
So my question is... what would be the best practice, the ideal way to organise the code in such manner, that our javascript developers ideally would only have to create couple of scenario Scala (or maybe even something else) files in some folder in their project and then just use one or two commands so that it would automatically pull common code from private repository and run the tests.
What I'm thinking about so far:
Creating an archetype with the testing codebase and then running “archetype:generate clean install gatling:execute” etc...
But this will do the same thing again. Creating the whole copy of the project in a subdirectory of another...
Thanks everyone!

How to Refactor Java web project package structure so that conform to microservice?

We have such a mess java web project need to be refactor.First, we need to confirm the new package structure or maven project structure.
As the microservice is very hot now, we want to design the package structure that conform to microservice (which I do not know much).
So we can take less effort to refactor the project to microservice in the second phase.
Is there such a 'silver bullet'?
You shouldn't take project decisions basing on what's "hot" right now. What are you gonna do next year, when something else will be "hot"? Perform refactoring again? The microservice architecture will be fine only for several types of projects, but not for all of them. It is possible to achieve good architecture and clean code without microservices. First of all, you should perform a deeper analysis of your project and it's domain. You should think if such type of architecture will really help you and why. In microservice architecture, you can also have a mess but on a different level of abstraction. It can be a subject of long article or publication. I suggest you, to perform a deeper research before starting any concrete work.
Is there such a 'silver bullet'?
Of course not.

Eclipse from multiple computers/users at same time?

I want to setup eclipse on a network drive and have it so me and my friend can code at the same time on the same project and the code update automatically on both computers.
The standard way to do something like this is by using version control. It will require a certain amount of discipline, but will bring many benefits.
You certainly don't want to simultaneously work on the same copy of the code. Just imagine your friend starting to make changes to an important class; all of a sudden you can't do any work since the project won't build or won't run until your friend is finished.
Instead, you'd each work on your own copy of the project, and periodically commit stable versions of the code into the shared repository for your collaborators to see.
I am doing the same thing as you. My friend and I are working on the same project together. We use a dropbox shared folder to share codes, only you can only edit one at a time. It works for us becuase we are coding unrelated parts of the project.

Why use many sub-projects and dependencies over packages?

I’ve mostly in my career worked in small or mid-sized java projects. I recently saw a huge project comprising of 30 projects in eclipse. I don’t really get concept of creating many small projects and then maintain inter-project dependencies. When do we prefer this over simply organizing stuff in packages?
I guessed it’s a maven thing (have mostly been using Ant). I’ve been reading up on Maven’s concept of modules as well – I saw some links on net recommending creation of different modules for web, dao and service layers under a parent module. Is it really a common/best practice?
With or without maven – does such division really makes life easier? Isn’t it more compact to have everything in a single project with well-defined packages structure for different layers?
It's common to split up projects into API, implementation, web, etc. components–when there's a need to do so. Large projects are just that: large.
There are benefits to keeping components separate"
Re-use functionality (e.g., the web layer uses the service layer
Package individual components (e.g., ship jus the API to a client)
Version sub-components; define their version dependencies
You can do all the same stuff with one giant project, but it's more difficult to determine what goes where, and why. Life is easier when those lines of demarcation are clearly defined.
How much easier depends on the project, but when you're dealing with hundreds of thousands of lines of code, occasionally millions, breaking that stuff up saves huge headaches.
Why choose to create a separate module in maven? To help you with your development. There really is no other reason.
The are a number of different reasons why you may want to create a separate module:
Separation of concerns: yes, you can do this with packages, but if it's in a separate module, then it can be compiled separately, and you can reduce the amount of tangle[*] in your packages.
The modules are managed by different teams, with release cycles of their own.
More understandable code: If all of your dao code is in one module, and all of your web in another, you can test them separately.
A module can be a separate deployable entity. I have a project which has two web apps, 5 batches and two other core modules (one core for the webapp and one core for the batches). I can now build and deploy each module separately.
The modules are published and used externally. If this is true, then you want the minimum amount of 'other' code in this module.
You choose to break up into modules for the same reasons as you would for separating into packages, but at a higher level, at a group of packages.
30 does seem excessive. But there may be good reasons for it. It's up to you and your project to decide what is the right level for the number of modules.
Personally, I try not to split excessively, unless there is a very good reason to do so.
[*] Tangle: mess which describes the links between packages. Package A uses B, which uses C, which uses both A and B. Something which doesn't help understanding.
I think excessive modularisation is akin to over engineering. The best route in my opinion is to start with one module/project and keep with that until such point as it becomes obvious to everyone involved that part of this existing module would benefit from being extracted into its own module. Yes, that means extra work at that point, but for me I'd rather do the work then than endlessly battle with unneeded complexity, in terms of my builds and my development environment, for benefits which are never actually realised.
Unfortunately there seems to be a tendency at the start of a projects to modularise to the nth degree before even a single line of code is written.
there is another advantage to this.. if i have to deploy on 'selected' components i dont waste time and resources deploying dependencies that I dont need.

Improve this question
I'm a junior developer and recently started working for a very small office where they do a lot of in-house development. I have never worked in a project that involved more than one developer or were as big and complex as these ones.
The problem is that they don't use all the tools available (version control, automated building, continuous integration, etc) to their full extent: mainly a project is one big project in eclipse/netbeans using cvs for version control and everything checked in (including library jars), they started using branching for the first time when I started doing branches for small tasks and merging them back. As the projects get bigger and more complex, problems start to arise with dependencies, project structure tied to an IDE, building can be a PITA sometimes, etc. It's hectic at best.
What I want is to set up a development environment where most of these problems will go away and I will save time and effort. I would like to set up projects in a manner independent of IDE used using version control (I'm leaning towards SVN right now), avoid dependency messes and automate building as much as possible.
I know that there are multiple approaches and tools for this and do not want to see a holy war started, I would really appreciate practical recommendations based on experience and what you have found to be useful when facing similar problems. All projects are Java projects and range from web applications to "generic" ones, and I use Eclipse most of the time, but also use Netbeans if needed. Thanks in advance.
You seem to be almost exactly in the point where the place I worked at was when I started there 1,5 years ago, only difference being that you've started toying with branches which is actually something we still don't do at my work but more about that later on in this answer.
Anyway, you're listing a very good set of tools which can help a small company and those work really nicely as subtopics so without further ado,
Version control systems
Most commonly small companies currently use CVS or SVN and there's nothing bad in that, in fact I'd be really worried if no version control was really used at all. However you have to use version control right, just having one won't make your life easier. We currently use CVS and are looking into Mercurial, but we've found that the following works as a good set of conventions when working with CVS (and I'd suspect SVN too):
Have separate users for all commiters. It's beyond valuable to know who commited what.
Don't allow empty commit messages. In fact if possible, configure the repository to reject any commits without comments and/or default comment. Initial commit for FooBarizer is better than Empty log message
Use tags to mark milestones, prototypes, alphas, betas, release candidates and final versions. Don't use tags for experimental work or as footnotes/Post-It notes.
Don't use branches since they really don't work if you're continuing on developing the application. This is mainly because in CVS and SVN branching just doesn't work as expected and it becomes an exercise in futility to maintain any more than two living branches ( head and any secondary branch ) over time.
Always remember that for the software company the source code is your source of income and contains all your business value, so treat it that way. Also if you have extra 70 minutes, I really recommend that you watch through this talk Linus Thorvalds gave at Google about git and (d)VCS in general, it's really insightful.
Automated builds and Continuous Integration environments
These are about the same actually. Daily builds is a PR joke and has little no resemblance to the state of the actual software beyond some very rudimentary "Does it compile?" issues. You can compile a lot of awful code noise that doesn't do anything, keeping the software quality up has nothing to do with getting the code to compile.
On the other hand unit tests is a great way to maintain software quality and I can with a bit of personal pride say that rigorous unit testing helps even the worst of the programmers to improve a lot and catch stupid errors. In fact there has so far only been a total of three bugs that code I have written has reached production environments and I'd say that in 18 months that's a pretty damn good achievement. In our new production code we usually have a instruction code coverage of +80%, mostly +90% and in one special case reaching all the way to 98%. This part is very lively field and you're better of Googling for the following: TDD, BDD, unit tests, integration tests, acceptance tests, xUnit, mock objects.
That's a bit of a lengthy preface, I know. The actual meat for all the above is this: If you want to have automated builds, have them occur every time someone commits and make sure there's a constantly increasing and improving amount of unit tests for production code. Have the continuous integration system of your choice (we use Hudson CI) run all the unit tests related to project and only accept builds if all the tests pass. Do not make any compromises! If unit tests show that the software is broken, fix the software.
Additionally, Continuous Integration systems aren't just for compiling code but instead they should be used for tracking the state of the software project's metrics. For Hudson CI I can recommend all these plugins:
Checkstyle - Checks if the actual source code is written in a way you define. Big part of writing maintainable code is to use common conventions.
Cobertura - Code coverage metrics, very useful to see how the coverage develops over time. Also keeping in line with the "source is God" mentality, allows you to discard builds if coverage falls below a certain level.
Task Scanner - Simple but sweet: Scans for specific tags such as BUG, TODO, NOTE etc. in your code and creates a list from them for everyone to read. Simple way to track short notes or known bugs which needs fixing or whatever you can come up with.
Project structure and Dependency Management
This is a controversial one. Basically everyone agrees that having an unified structure is great but since there's several camps with different requirements, habits and views to issue they tend to disagree. For example Maven people really believe that there's only one way - the Maven way - to do things and that's it while Ivy supporters believe that the project structure shouldn't be hammered down your throat by external parties, only the dependencies need to be managed properly and in an unified manner. Just that it's not left unclear, our company simply loves Ivy.
So since we don't use project structure imposed by external parties, I'm going to tell you a bit about how we got into what we got into our current project structure.
In the beginning we used individual projects for actual software and related tests (usually named Product and Product_TEST). This is very close to what you have, one huge directory for everything with the dependencies as JARs directly included in the directory. What we did was that we checked out both projects from CVS and then linked the actual project to the test software project in Eclipse as runtime dependency. A bit clunky but it worked.
We soon came to realize that these extra steps are completely useless since by using Ant - by the way, you can invoke Ant tasks directly in Hudson - we could tell the JAR/WAR building step to ignore everything by either file name (say, everything that ends with Test or TestCase) or by source folder. Pretty soon we converted our software project to use a simple structure two root folders, src and test. We haven't looked back ever since. The only debate we currently have is if we should allow for a third folder called spikes to exist in our standard project structure and that's not a very heated debate at all.
This has worked tremendously well and doesn't require any additional support or plugins from any of IDEs out there which is a great plus - number two reason we didn't choose Maven was seeing how M2Eclipse basically took over Eclipse. And since you must be wondering, number one reason for rejecting Maven was the clunkiness of Maven itself, endless amount of lengthy XML declarations for configuration and the related learning curve was considered a too big cost as to what we would get from using it.
Rather interestingly later on commiting to Ivy instead of Maven has allowed us to a smooth shift to do some Grails development which uses folder and class names as conventions for just about everything when structuring the web application.
Also a final note about Maven, while it claims to promote convention over configuration, if you don't want to do things exactly the way the Maven's structure says you should do things, you're in a world of pain for the aforementioned reasons. Certainly that's an expected side effect of having conventions but no convention shouldn't be final, there always has to be at least some room for changes, bending the rules or choosing the appropriate from a certain set.
In short, my opinion is that Maven is a bazooka, you work in a house and you ultimate goal is to have it bug free. Each of these are good on it's own and work even if you pick any two of them, but the three together just doesn't work.
Final words
As long as you have less than 10 code-centric people, you have all the flexibility needed to do the important decisions. When you go beyond that, you have to live with whatever choices you've made, no matter how good or bad they are. Don't just believe things you hear on the Internet, sit down and test everything rigorously - heck, our senior tech guy even wrote his bachelor's thesis about Java web frameworks just to figure out which one we should use - and really figure out what you really need. Don't commit to anything just because you may need some of the functionality it provides in distant future, pick those things that has the lowest possible negative impact to the whole company. Being the 10th person hired to the company I work at I can undersign everything in this paragraph with my own blood, we currently have 16+ people working and changing certain conventions would actually be a bit scary at this point.
Our development stack (team of 10+ developers)
Eclipse IDE with M2Eclipse and Subclipse/Subversive
Subversion for source control, some developers also use TortoiseSVN where Subclipse fails
Maven 2 for project configuration (dependencies, build plugins) and release mgmt (automatic tagging of releases)
Hudson for Continuous Integration (creates also snapshot releases with source attachments and reports)
Archiva for artifact repository (multiple repositories, e.g. releases and snapshots are separated)
Sonar for code quality tracking (e.g. hotspots, coverage, coding guidelines adherence)
JIRA for bug tracking
Confluence for developer wiki and communication of tech docs with other departments
Docbook for manuals (integrated into build)
JMeter for stress testing and long-term performance monitoring
Selenium/WebDriver for automated browser integration tests
Jetty, Tomcat, Weblogic and Websphere as test environments for web apps. Products are deployed every night and automated tests are run on distributed Hudsons.
Mailinglist with all developers for announcements, general info mails
Daily stand up meetings where everbody tells about what he's currently doing
This setup is considered standard for our company as many departments are using those tools and there is a lot of experience and community support for those.
You are absolutely right about trying to automate as much as possible. If your collegues start to see the benefits when aspects of the development phases are automated, they will be encouraged to improve on their own. Of course, every new technology gimmick ("tool") is a new burden and has to be managed and maintained. This is where the effort is moved. You save time e.g. when maven automatically performs your releases, but you will waste time on managing maven itself. My experience is that every time I introduced a new tool (one of the aboves), it takes time to be adopted and cared about, but in the end it will bring advantages to the whole team when real value is experienced - esp. in times of stress when the tools take over much of the work you would have to do manually.
A fine, admirable instinct. Kudos to you.
Part of your problem might not be solved using tools. I'd say that source code management needs some work, because it doesn't sound like branching, tagging, and merging is done properly. You'll need some training and communication to solve that.
I haven't used CVS myself, so I can't say how well it supports those practices. I will point out that Subversion and Git would be better choices. At worst, you should be reading the Subversion "red bean" book to get some generic advice on how to manage source code.
Personally, I'm not a Maven fan. I believe it's too heavyweight, especially when compared to Ant and Ivy. I'd say that using those with Cruise Control could be the solution to a lot of your problems.
You didn't mention unit testing. Start building TestNG and Fit tests into your build cycle.
Look into IntelliJ - I think its a better IDE than either Eclipse or NetBeans, but that's just me.
Best of luck.
Maven is great, however, it can have a fair bit of a learning curve, and it requires that the project fits a very specific file structure. If you have a big legacy project, it may be difficult to mavenize it. In that case, Ant+Ivy would do the same without the stringent requirements that maven has.
For build automation, Hudson is beyond awesome. I've used a couple different systems, but that is unquestionably the easiest to get set up and administer.
I recommend to use Maven for building your projects. Using Maven brigns value to the project, because:
Maven promotes convention over configuration what equals a good project structure
thanks Maven plugins eases generating projects for IDE's (Eclipse, Netbeans, Idea)
handles all dependecies and complete build lifecycle
faciliates projects modularization (via mulitimodule projects)
helps with releases/versions burden
improve code quality - easy integration with continous integration servers and lot of code quality plugins
Maven can be a bit daunting given its initial learning curve, but it would nicely address many of your concerns. I also recommend you take a look at Git for version control.
For project and repository management, I use trac with subversion.
Here's what i'm using right now, but i will probably switch a few parts (see the end of this post).
Eclipse as IDE with a few plugins : JADClipse (to decompile .class on the fly, pretty useful), DBViewer for a quick access to database through Eclipse, WTP (Web Tools Platform) integrated into Eclipse for running Tomcat 6 as a developement web server (pretty fast), Mylyn (linked with JIRA bug-tracker).
I'm too wondering about "IDE independant projects", right now we are all sticked on Eclipse - Eclipse project files (.project, .classpath, .settings) are even commited in the CVS repository (in order to have a project fully ready once checked out) - but with Netbeans, supported by Sun and running faster and faster with each release (and each new JRE version), the question isn't closed.
CVS for storing projects, with nearly no branches (only for patches).
I'm working on environment production with Oracle SGBDR but I'm using HSQLDB on my developement computer to make test and build and development process way faster (with the help of the open-source DDLUtils tool to ease database creation and data injections). Otherwise i use SQLWorkbench for quick BD tasks (including schemas comparison) or the Oracle (free) SQLDeveloper for some Oracle specific tasks (like investating sessions locks and so on).
Tests are only JUnit tests (either simple unit test cases or more complex test cases (nearly "integrations" ones), nearly always runing on HSQLDB to run faster.
My build system is Ant (launched from Eclipse) for various small tasks (uploading a war on a remote server for example) and (mainly) Maven 2 for :
the build process
the publishing of the released artefacts
the publishing of the project's web site (including reports)
launching tests campaigns (launched every night)
The continuous integration front-end is Luntbuild, and the front-end for the Maven repository is Archiva.
All this works. But I'm pretty disappointed by a few elements of this ecosystem.
Mainly Maven, it's just too time-consuming and i have a lot of griefs versus this tool. Conflicts dependencies resolution is a joke. Lot of XML lines in every POM.xml, redundant in every project (even with the help of a few POM roots). Plugins are way too inconsistent, buggy, and it's really difficult to find clear documentation explaining what has to be configured, and so on.
So i'm wondering about switching from Maven to ANT+Ivy. For what i've seen so far, it's seems pretty cool (there are various Conflict manager for the conflicts dependencies resolutions and you can even write your own conflict manager), there is no need to have an additionnal tool installed and configured (as ANT is running natively under Eclipse, whereas Maven needs a separate plugin - i've tried the 3 Mavens plugins by the way, and have found all the three of them buggy).
However Maven 3 is on its way, i'll give it a try but i don't expect it to be fundamentaly different from Maven 2.
Hudson would seem a better choice than Luntbuild, too, but this part won't be changed for the now.
And Subversion will probably replace CVS in a near future (even if i nearly don't have any trouble with CVS).
Lots of good advice here. I have just a few additions:
I think that, unlike the rest, an IDE is a personal tool, and each developer should have some freedom to select the one that works best for him. (For example, many love Eclipse, while I ditched it for NetBeans because Maven integration was, uh, problematic in Eclipse.)
I thought I was going to hate Maven, but now I get along with it fairly well. The main problem I have these days is finding out where the conventions are documented.
I would advise introducing tools one at a time. If you try to mechanize all aspects of software development at a by-hand shop in one stroke, there will likely be massive resistance. Make your business case and get agreement on one good common tool, or just get permission to set it up for your use but in a commonly-accessible way and let people see what it does for you. After a few of these, people will develop a habit of wondering how aspect X could be automated, so additional tools should be easier to introduce.
The single most best thing you can do without disrupting other people and their way of working is setting up hudson to watch the CVS repository for each of your project. Just doing that will give a central place to see cvs commit messages.
Next step is getting these projects to compile under Hudson. For Eclipse this typically means either switching to ant or - as we did - use ant4eclipse to model the existing eclipse build process. Not easy but very worthwhile. Remember to send out mails when the build breaks - this is extremely important. Ant4eclipse requires team project sets - introducing them in your organization Will make your colleagues happy the next time they need to set up a fresh workspace.
When you have a situation where your stuff builds properly whenever somebody commits changes then consider making that automatically built code the code to actually go to the customer. As it was built on the build server and not on a developers machine, you know that you can reproduce the build. That is invaluable in a "hey fix this ancient version" situation.

How can I make my development workflow more "enterprisey"?

I'm the sole developer for an academic consortium headquartered at a university in the northeast. All of my development work involves internal tools, mostly in Java, so nothing that is released to the public. Right now, I feel like my development workflow is very "hobbyist" and is nothing like you would see at an experienced software development firm. I would be inclined to say that it doesn't really matter since I'm the only developer anyway, but it can't hurt to make some changes, if for no other reason than to make my job a little easier and get a few more technologies on my resume. Right now my workflow is something like this:
I do most of my development work in Eclipse on my laptop. Everything is saved locally on my laptop, and I don't use a VCS, nor do I really backup my code (except for occasionally emailing it to myself so I can see it on a different computer - yeah, I told you my development environment needs work).
When I'm done with a project and want to deploy it or if I just want to test it, I use the built-in Jar tool in Eclipse to make an executable .jar of my project. If I use external .jar libraries, I use the Fat-Jar plugin to include those .jars in my executable .jar.
After I create the .jar, I manually upload it to the server via SFTP and test it with something like java -jar MyProject.jar.
Oh yeah, did I mention that I don't unit test?
The most glaringly obvious problem that I'd like to fix first is my lack of source control. I like git because of it's distributed nature, but it doesn't seem to integrate with Eclipse well and I've heard that it doesn't work very well on Windows, which is my primary development OS. So, I'm leaning toward SVN, which I do have some experience with. I do have my own personal server, and I think I'll use that for my source control, because I'd rather be my own admin than have to deal with university bureaucracy. I had some trouble setting up SVN once before, but I'll give it another shot. Maybe I'll also install something like Trac or Redmine for bug-tracking, todo list, etc?
What about building and deployment? There has to be a better way than using Fat-Jar and manually uploading my jar to the server. I've heard about tools like Ant and Maven - do these apply to what I want to do? How can I get started using those?
I suppose I'd eventually like to integrate unit testing with JUnit too. Even though it probably should be, that is not my primary concern right now, because so far my applications aren't terribly complex. I'd really like to work on simplifying and streamlining my workflow right now, and then I'll ease into unit testing.
Sorry for the long question. I guess my question boils down to, for a sole developer, what tools and methodologies can/should I be using to not only make my job easier, but also just to expose myself to some technologies that would be expected requisite knowledge at a dedicated development house?
edit: Thanks for the great answers so far. I didn't mean to suggest that I wanted to make my workflow "enterprisey" just for the sake of doing it, but to make my job simpler and to get a few technologies under my belt that are typically used in enterprise development environments. That's all I meant by that.
It seems to me like you actually have a pretty good idea of what you need to do.
Using Subversion (or other VCS) is a must. Although it might be wise to setup a separate SVN repository for your work-related code rather than using a personal one.
You can integrate Subversion with Eclipse using a plugin like Subclipse, which I've found works pretty well.
I'd definitely use Ant or Maven - my preference is Ant because it's more flexible, and I think it would suit your development style more than Maven as well. But you might also want to look into Apache Ivy, which handles dependency-management.
Basically you set up an ant task which runs your compile, build and deployment steps - so that when you create a final JAR package you can be sure that it's been unit tested as that is part of your ant script. The best way to get started with ant is to look at some examples, and read through the manual.
As for unit testing - you can gradually build up with unit testing. I would recommend using JUnit in conjunction with a code coverage tool such as Cobertura (which is easy to set up) - it will help you to understand how much code your tests are covering and is an indicator about how effective your tests are.
It may also be worth your while setting up something like Trac - it's important to be able to keep track of bugs, and a wiki is surprisingly useful for documentation.
In other words, all of this sounds like you're on the right lines, you just need to get started using some of these tools!
If you're really set on distributed source control, I'd recommend you look at Bazaar. Its GIT-like distributed source control that's designed around performing very high quality merges. Out of the box it works on all platforms including Windows and they have a TortoiseBZR client.
Really though, any source control is better than none. If you're the sole developer then there's no need for anything more complex than SVN. Large companies and projects use SVN all the time with little issue.
As far as unit testing goes, you should make yourself familiar with JUnit. The fact that you're aware of unit testing and know you should be doing it is still several steps ahead of most ad-hoc developers.
Use version control. Period. SVN has great intergration with Eclipse and Windows. Get the TourtisSVN client for windows and use the subclipse plugin with Eclipse.
I would recomend getting an external HD or use one of your companies' servers for putting your repository on and do backups often. Subversion works great with deployment and upgrading as well. Just learn how to do it and you will never look back :)
As far as Unit Testing, some people would say that is the way to go but I have not found enough evidence to start the practice myself. If sombody on this question can convince me otherwise then please do!
Also, don't look to "enterprise" your workflow - look to make it better. Practices that work well with huge teams and corperations may not work well for you. I am pretty much an only developer myself and know the situation you are in. Just try everything and only keep what feels natural after a while.
But make sure to just try SVN! If your company has a LINUX server with apache see if you can set up your server there using DAV-SVN.
:)
I think you answered most of your own questions.
Source control: pick SVN - easy installation, great integration with Eclipse (subclipse).
Use Ant to build your project and deploy it (SCP/SFTP task)
Keep all your settings (Eclipse project settings, build xmls, etc.) in SVN.
Use Bugzilla to keep track of your bugs/issues/requests/ideas.
It would be VERY beneficial to start working with version control. Start now, don't delay! Git is moving REALLY fast, and there's already a TortoiseGit being developed. SVN is still a great standard to work with. And I have not worked with Mercurial, but that's another VCS that's worth looking into.
Other than that, I don't see why your workflow has to be enterprisey. It just has to be efficient and comfortable. That said, I think you should try working with a simple text editor and compiling from the command line. Most of the world's best programmers still use that instead of an IDE, and it will help you understand the processes underneath your favorite IDE.
Check out the Pragmatic Programmers' Pragmatic Starter Kit.
It schools you on the important basics of software development that universities/etc. seem to pass up, like version control, unit testing, and project automation (in that order), and does it in a very approachable manner.
It will give you a solid base to keep going from there.
Take a look # Matt Raible's Appfuse.
It incorporates Maven and Unit Testing.

Although you put it as the last thing, I think you should start using jUnit without delay.
The reason is, it's probably the easiest of the ambitions you've identified, and the tools are almost certainly already built into your Eclipse build.
Make a new folder in your project called 'jUnit'.
Let's say you have an Employee class, with setAnnualSalary() and getMonthlySalary() methods.
Right click on the jUunit folder, new -> "jUnit test case". This will make a new class. Call it TestEmployee. Eclipse generates the boilerplate stuff for you, as usual.
Add a void method with a name beginning with 'test':
public void testSalaryCalc() {
Employee emp = new Employee("John Doe");
emp.setAnnualSalary(12000);
assertEquals(1000,emp.getMonthlySalary());
}
Right click, "run as" -> "jUnit test". (the first time Eclipse may prompt you to do some setup for the project. Just do what it says.)
If Employee works properly, you'll see a green bar.
Sabotage the Employee class, run the test again, and you'll see a red bar, as well as output telling you what the failure was.
Congratulations: you are unit testing!
Right-clicking on the parent directory and choosing "Run as jUnit test" will run every Testcase class in the directory. Later you can incorporate jUnit into your build process, but don't worry about that for now.
Autocomplete will show you all the variations on assert() you can use. You can read up on it, and aim towards practices where you write the test cases before the implementation that passes them. But just doing the simple stuff above gets you big benefits.
Once you have a set up version control and a few unit-tests, I would consider a continous integration server (you wanted to be enterprisey, right?).
Even if you are and stay the sole developer, this might help you to uncover a few errors. Things you forgot to check in or the likes. A CI-server regularly checks out all your sources, does a clean build an runs all your tests. It also contacts you in the case of errors.
This gives you the guarantee that you (or any other person) is able to check out your code and build/run your projects.
I would recommend to take a look at Hudson
Like others have said, you already clearly know what you need to do. A VCS is a must, CI or bug-tracking may be overkill (for a single developer a spreadsheet might suffice for bug-tracking).
One thing that might benefit you greatly is keeping an organized product backlog. In solo development, I find keeping focused on the high-priority features and avoiding feature creep to be one of my biggest challenges. Keeping a backlog helps immensely. It doesn't have to be much more than a prioritized list of features with some notes about the scope of each. At my workplace, we keep this info in Trac, but here again, a spreadsheet may be all you need.
And I want to put in a plug for unit testing, particularly Test Driven Development (TDD). Kent Beck's book is a good place to start. I find that TDD helps keep me honest and focused on what I really need to do, particularly on a single-developer project without QA. Sometimes it seems like the code writes itself.
You got some really solid answers so short post adding a link to an article about Test Driven Development which is an agile practice that will look good on your CV.
TDD
If you are running a Windows Server where you want to put your SVN server, use Visual SVN as the server. It is super easy to setup and use, it supports both basic authentication and windows authentication. It is also free to use.
Eclipse has quite a few modules to integrate with a SVN server, so use one of those, or the already suggested Tortoise SVN.
All the previous comments covered almost everything you might ever need :-)
I want to add another approach on how to develop (the development workflow).
I suggest that you read the following article and although it's a git workflow you can use the same idea for any other tool you might be using.
