Project Management in J2EE-Development

Hi all, unfortunatley there is no forum for project management issues, so maybe I will bother some of you with non-technical questions:

Is there any learning material e.g. books, forums, newsgroups, tutorials related to the topic of project managment in J2EE-Development? I'm particularly interessted in questions like:

- Team organisation. Function-oriented or component-oriented?

- Development Process. Is there anything like a RUP customised for J2EE-Projects? Mandatory roles and artifacts you need in any project?

- Effort estimations. Has anyone ever heard about experiences with formal estimation technics like function point analysis in J2EE-Projects?

- Risk Management. What are the typical risks in J2EE-Projects and how do you manage them?

- Quality Assurance... is very difficult in distributed computing. Are there any recomendations and tools for successfull QA?

- Reports, lessons leard and best practices of large J2EE-Projects?

Many thanks for your contribution!

Those should be decent entry points as far as I can say. Regarding the other things you want to know about, I guess that there is too much room in the term J2EE Project, to answer those. Mainly your choice of Application Server and other technology used will have quite an impact, and so will the choice of your development tools.

We have been developing with J2EE for more than a year now, but our tools and environments are still changing a lot. Thus sound estimation is quite tough.

With regards,
