Apeldoorn JUG @ Craftsmen - Maven's hidden secrets & Clean Architecture

**Building maintainable Spring Boot apps with Clean Architecture**
Clean Architecture is about separating concerns within your application to keep it maintainable, scalable, and testable. Some call it onion architecture, others call it hexagonal, but in the end they all aim for the same goal: protecting your domain logic from the messy outside world.
But how does this work in practice?
In this session, we'll build a Spring Boot application together using the principles of Clean Architecture. We'll use the Spring Boot Test framework for clean integration tests and ArchUnit to ensure our squeaky-clean application stays that way by enforcing architectural boundaries.
After this session you've learned what Clean Architecture is, and how you can leverage your own applications with it.
**Maven's Hidden Secrets and Treasures to speed up your build**
Ahoy, Maven Pirates! Gather around, for I have a treasure of knowledge to share with ye salty dogs. ☠️
Ye be hearin' about this thing called 'Build Caching'? It’s a secret weapon that can make yer ship (build) sail faster than a seagull catchin' the wind!
How does it work, ye ask? Well, add an extension to the project file in the "pom" ye mateys call it. But don't think it's all smooth sailin' from there. Nay, ye need to do a bit of work on the pipeline too. Arr, we be talkin' about addin' a remote (cache) server to the settings file, and then ye be sayin' goodbye to them extra (rum with) coffee breaks. ☕️
By makin' a few simple tweaks, we give yer build a mighty fine boost! And ye be learnin' all about them Maven lifecycles too! We will show how to improve yer tests and run them in parallel, like enterin’ a ship. ⚡️
But hear me out, me hearties, for this be no ordinary treasure of knowledge. Nay, this is reserved for a select few, the likes of ye who be joinin' this session.
So, keep yer lips sealed, and don't be tellin' a soul about this secret, aye?

Mingle Mania: Culture Exchange Saint Patrick's Day Special
The leprechauns have clearly interfered with the calendar and somehow pushed St. Patrick’s Day onto a Tuesday, right when we already had a meetup scheduled. **Suspicious, yet very fortunate.** ☘️
So this week, our usual Tuesday drinks go even moar Irish.
Join us for a slightly chaotic, very friendly evening with locals, expats, regulars, newcomers for random conversations, and the usual Utrechters social magic.
No forced networking, no corporate energy. Just people meeting people, having drinks, talking nonsense, sharing stories, and maybe collecting a few new friends on the way.
**Imporant:** Wear some green. Seriously. Put effort level anywhere between "full saint mode" and "I found one green sock".
Green shirts, green hats, green chaos, all welcome.
And **BIG** kudos to the bar staff for still having us. They are super nice, patient, and somehow continue to tolerate our weekly appearance that sometimes ends in bulk cocktail orders.
Please be nice back to them and order at least one drink. 🍻
What to expect:
* locals + expats
* very busy bar
* community ages roughly 20 to 60, average somewhere around 30
* free to join, voluntary, low-pressure, human-friendly
If you have ideas for future events, tell us. This group is not just for Tuesday drinks. The goal is to build a proper community for all kinds of activities.
Join the WhatsApp group:
[https://chat.whatsapp.com/GopSuzuFKRBKeYVKQrX4pE](https://chat.whatsapp.com/GopSuzuFKRBKeYVKQrX4pE)
Come have a drink, wear something green, and help us give this Tuesday a bit of Irish nonsense. ☘️

Great Exhibitions #20 – Danh Vo: πνεῦμα (Ἔλισσα) @ Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam
📍 Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam
🗓 **Sunday, March 22nd, 2026**
🕓 **Meeting at 16:15**
For the 20th edition of **Great Exhibitions**, we dive into one of the most powerful and thought-provoking shows currently on view in Amsterdam: **Danh Vo** at the Stedelijk Museum.
Born in Vietnam and raised in Denmark after fleeing the war as a child, Danh Vo’s work moves with extraordinary precision between **violence and tenderness, history and intimacy, beauty and trauma**. His sculptures, objects, and installations are built from fragments of the past: religious relics, classical sculptures, historical artifacts, everyday objects. Like an archaeologist, Vo excavates meanings, then reassembles them into new constellations that feel both poetic and unsettling.
In this exhibition, objects are **cut, displaced, reframed, suspended, inverted**. A Roman marble head meets a 19th-century torture device. A Renaissance relief is forced into a wooden soup crate. A fragment of the Statue of Liberty appears not as a symbol of promise, but of broken ideals. Across the show, Vo reflects on **exile, power, colonialism, religion, ownership, and the fragile line between care and destruction**.
His work doesn’t shout. It whispers, but what it says stays with you.
After the exhibition, we’ll continue the evening by exploring one of the most exciting new openings in Amsterdam’s bar scene: **Shakerato**, the brand-new cocktail bar by Eric van Beek, the mind behind Handshake Speakeasy in Mexico City (currently ranked #2 in the World’s 50 Best Bars, and #1 in 2024). Expect outstanding cocktails (also non-alcoholic options), great energy, and a relaxed atmosphere — plus beer and wine if that’s more your thing.
🍸 Art, history, beauty, contradictions — and a great drink to talk it all through afterwards.
Join us for an evening that moves between museum and cocktail bar, thought and pleasure, fragility and intensity.

Daytrip Maastricht & Valkenburg (Train from Arnhem)
**This event has two meetup spots: Arnhem station (9:30) and 's-Hertogenbosch (10:40)!**
Welcome to the page of the Maastricht & Valkenburg daytrip. On the first day of spring, we like to welcome you to a trip to the very southern edge of the Netherlands: home to the picturesque city of Maastricht, and the river valley town of Valkenburg.
The plan goes as follows:
* 9:30 Meetup Arnhem CS, next to Burger King
* 9:53 Train to 's-Hertogenbosch (Den Bosch)
* 10:40 Transfer in Den Bosch, second meetup point
* 11:08 Train to Maastricht
* 12:33 Arrive in Maastricht
Those who do not want to go to Valkenburg can stay in Maastricht
* 12:41 13-minute train to Valkenburg
* ±15:40 Train back to Maastricht
* 18:29 Train to Den Bosch
* 19:53 2/32 min. transfer in Den Bosch
* 20:37/21:07 Arrive in Arnhem
While these times are mostly fixed, train disruptions may force us to change the plan. Were they to happen, all changes will be announced in the discussion chat of this event page, as well as in our [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/FjOEhSiBHDc7Y2Owz954wi).
**Meetup in Arnhem & Den Bosch**
The two meetup places are in Arnhem Centraal Station, next to the Burger King at 9:30, and at 's-Hertogenbosch station on platform 7a at 10:40. If you want to join at another location, like on the train or in Maastricht, please let us know in advance. These are also the places where the group splits and disbands at the end of the day, but of course you may leave the group at any time you like.
Please sign up by RSVP on Meetup or via [Google Forms](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd2g-H1CVAJrpTD-T0ELzcqoDOmggzyB4bm3lIOqqRRnf0s9Q/viewform?usp=header). We will all travel by using our own OV-Chipkaart or bank card. Tip: if you don't have an NS subscription or the *studentenreisproduct* you can buy train tickets (usually at a discount if you buy it days in advance) on [ns.nl](ns.nl/en) or the NS app.
**Payment**
In order to keep our Meetup-page active, everyone joining the event will be asked to pay a 2 euro contribution. The payment will be handled via Tikkie, and is refundable if you cancel before Wed March 18th 10:00 - and in any case if we cancel or postpone the event of course.
We hope to see you there!

**2000 Château Piron Montagne-Saint-Émilion - Merlot - Cab. Sauv.**
CT – 94 Pts - Medium ruby color intensity, with a slight browning on around the rim. Pronounced aromas and flavors of plum, cedar, mushrooms and earth. Tannins are slight at this point. Alcohol is moderate. Finish is moderately long.
**2022 Les Sources de Montmiral – Gigondas**
91 Pts Jancis Robinson – Syrah 20% – Grenache 70% – Mourvèdre 10%. Soil: Very stony alluvial terraces and steep hillsides. Aroma: Bouquet of violets and red fruits in its youth, then evolving towards nuances of undergrowth, cloves and tobacco. Tannins: Velvety and soft. Taste: Fleshy palate. It gives a spicy and harmonious finish from the exceptional Terrior of the Dentelles de Montmiral Massif.
Freestyle + Starliner Diner
**Starliner Diner -** We'll shut down wine club at 8 pm this evening and take a short walk to our neighborhood eclectic eatery - Starliner Diner. Join us after wine club for a snack or meal. Starliner is a longtime favorite in Hilliard.
Please RSVP early AND Please let me know in the comments if you plan to join us after at the diner so I can have accurate numbers for the reservations.
**On Freestyle night** \- just bring a bottle to share\. There is NO formal wine tasting like on other weeks\. Door charge is $10 \(cash or Venmo only please\)\. We may have some left over wines to clear out\! Glasses are provided\. Take Care\. See you there\.
**Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. I am told that the Chase parking lot is safe after hours.
**Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the EMPTY glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please do not make me hunt down your empty glass. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass!
**Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing.
**Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions.
Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends.
Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***,
**Red 1 Realty**

Feel free to join us anytime before 6:45pm.*
**Cost: $15.00 per person *(covers 4 wine or beer samples paired with gourmet appetizers)***
**Meet**: The staff will set aside tables for our group, just behind the bar. Feel free to brings cards if you want to play after your tasting. Sometimes, we head to a venue to hear live music afterwards.
Trivia Night + Freestyle
**Self-Proclaimed Trivia Master, Paul, has all the questions AND answers**: All YOU have to do is bring the answers. Easy? Let's find out.
Let's warm up with the question that I like to ask to establish your age range and IQ. Don't be shy. Shout this one out. What's Jenny's number?
(warm up questions answer is posted at the bottom)
Okay, not bad. I heard that. RSVP and form up into teams of up to 4 people when you show up. Compete for prizes so large we had to park them at the airport. Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, 3rd place and Dead Last (that one's more of a remedial learning aid, but it will be fun. I promise).
**On Freestyle night** \- just bring a bottle to share\. There is NO formal wine tasting like on other weeks\. Door charge is $10 \(cash or Venmo only please\)\. We may have some left over wines to clear out\! Glasses are provided\. Take Care\. See you there\.
**Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. I am told that the Chase parking lot is safe after hours.
**Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the EMPTY glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please do not make me hunt down your empty glass. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass! (ps - empty the glasses into the sink, not the trash ... please)
**Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing.
**Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions.
**After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee.
Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends.
Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***,

**Answer**: *867-5309* / You Knew It! Even if you were not bold enough to shout it out. If you didn't know it, that's okay. Not all of the questions will be aimed at octogenarians.
