JavaAdvent

And our very own jolly 🎅 , Steve Poole, is wrapping the 2025 edition of the JavaAdvent calendar with his favorite topic: supply chain security. More particularly he is comparing #Python supply chain to #Java supply chain, demystifying why #typosquatting and #namecollisions are the main attack vectors in the 🐍 ecosystem. https://lnkd.in/egC6kvsh

And because it's the holiday season, and you are one of those prancsters who likes to put a box in a box in a box...you'll love Andrea Peruffo, as he is the master of doing that...In the last couple of years, he contributed to #Chicory - a #JVM #Wasm runtime with zero dependencies. This year, he's sharing his knowledge on the new wave of libraries built on top of it. https://lnkd.in/ejR7Thim

AI AI AI was all you could hear this year, even though more sceptics appeared instead of the enthusiasts. But how can you actually use it to make your lives easier? Juan Antonio Breña Moral shares his experience with Cursor products, which improve your development flow: https://lnkd.in/eNuwwGU4

How vibey are you? How do you feel about generated code in #Java? Yes, we can quote something or...we can read Artur Skowroński post that tries to really demystify how to do it https://lnkd.in/eHFZmSGu

How do you really keep up with the framework versions? Not just changing the dependency, but actually using the new functionality and cleaning up the deprecations? Andres Sacco shares his view on this: https://lnkd.in/eEP6vnPh

Samuel Lissner is another first-time elf, and he shares his experience on getting started with #SpringAI in your #Java application. https://lnkd.in/dg2aKByQ

Jorge Hidalgo is one of the new elves this year, and he wanted to share his recipe for integrating AI in #Java. There are more ways to do 🍪 . Jorge shared his here: https://lnkd.in/eiGjCTdm

Regardless of which part of the #Java ecosystem you use, they all share the Java part. Ana-Maria Mihalceanu writes in her post about the Ahead-of-Time (AOT) cache features released in recent #JDK releases. She will guide you through using AOT cache optimisations in your application to minimise startup time and achieve faster peak performance. https://lnkd.in/e-RxdtPK

Frank Delporte is one of the #Java folks tinkering with Raspberry Pi, and this year, he is sharing how OpenJDK makes the interaction much easier. https://lnkd.in/eVb8Cuvd

Like everyone else, Tom Cools is thinking about #agents, and, like a real tinkerer, he wanted to see what could be achieved. But Tom knows Timefold, so you should be excited to read his thoughts regarding agents implemented with #Java. https://lnkd.in/dGBFZqQ8
