By Java Magazine Editor Andrew Binstock Reactive programming is a term that means slightly different things to different people. Central to the concept, though, is a model of computing that is alerted to certain kinds of events, can process or ignore those events, and works with the event source to manage the number of events to be processed. In practice, this model rests on several technologies: a message-passing framework, a subscription-based notification system, and an...

What does strong encapsulation mean in JDK 9?  How do you migrate your current application to modules? Alex Buckley explains in great detail the key concepts behind modules.  He describes how the module system can improve the structure of your code, how you can migrate your application progressively by mixing modular and non-modular code, and how a modular JDK enables better compatibility.   With JDK 9, you can still run your applications on the classpath. The new module...

From Chief Editor of Java Magazine Andrew Binstock Coding UIs used to be an awful chore, with endless minute adjustments having to be constantly recorded. Fortunately, JavaFX greatly facilitated UI construction by scripting it with FXML, which is discussed in our first article. Our second article explores the drag-and-drop design tool, Scene Builder, which can generate FXML. Scene Builder was originally an Oracle tool that was released to open source and taken over by Gluon,...

What is the new module system in Java 9? In Java 7, the JDK was a complex monolithic platform. With Java 9, the platform itself needs to be modular to introduce the new system. Alan Bateman explains the underlining organization of the module system. He shows how modules are linked to each other within an application and how to create runtime images with the jlink tool, for example.  The JDK 9 will work with your application the same as JDK 8 did. To make sure your code will...
