Short Answer - Use Maven2 and Subversion (SVN).
Long Answer -
I recommend you use a Source Code Control program such as Subversion. All of your developers need to check code into and out of this.
Configure the subversion project with Maven2 (you could use Ant) to build a single war file.
Finally: You need to state to your developers you want a single WAR file for deployment. (And your developers should have already asked you how you want this deployed. Exploded WAR vs. Single (or multiple) WAR files. -

I agree with the previous poster except for one thing, I would add Hudson to the mix. Hudson is a very powerful tool that you can use to fire off whatever building you want to do using maven. So the steps would go something like this...
1.) User checks code into Subversion
2.) Hudson Recognizes the new commit and uses maven to build/run tests
3.) Hudson can then automatically deploy to whatever environment.
Of course you should also set up multiple environments so that commits are not automatically deployed to prod.
Long story short, research Maven, Subversion, and Hudson. -

These are basic infrastructure question, and I would suggest you re-use what's in your team's best talents first. Check with your team lead for his expertise in these area first. Everyone will have their own preference, and they work most efficiently with their strong areas. If you already got a team of 6, one would need to make decision for these and lead others to follow. Let the lead do what he does best with. If he is not good at it, he probably shouldn't be the lead in the first place.
With that said, I personally prefer a java development with these tools:
* Source Control: Mecurial (hg)
* BuildTool: Maven2 + Nexus Repository Manager
* Editor/IDE: JEdit and Eclipse with M2Eclipse plugin
* Project Management/Issue Tracker: Jira or Bugzilla
* Wiki: Confluence or MoinMoin
* BuiltServer: Hudson
Good luck with your team.

eBPF is emerging as a preferred method for security observability over traditional user-space agents. By attaching probes directly to the Linux kernel's syscall interface, it provides consistent visibility even during container-level compromises. eBPF reduces security-related CPU consumption and limits data volume by performing filtering at the kernel level, enhancing operational efficiency.
