By Java Magazine Editor Andrew Binstock  Running Fast and Light Without All the Baggage The emergence of microservices as the new architecture for applications has led to a fundamental change in the way we use frameworks. Previously, frameworks offered an omnibus scaffolding that handled most needs of monolithic applications. But as microservices have gained traction, applications now consist of orchestrated containers, each performing a single service. As such, those...

There is a lot happening in Java, and in this issue we do our best to make the state of Java as clear as possible. We begin with a survey (page 15) of Java developers. The survey covers JDK, tools in use, processes, and finally a profile of Java developers. We follow that up with a look at Java 11 (page 39), which was released in September: what’s in this release that you need to know about—such as changes to lambda syntax, a new HTTP client, and the updated WebSocket...

The Java Platform Module System (JPMS) main goal is to make it easier to construct and maintain Java libraries and large applications. You will also experience improved application performance by scaling down the Java SE platform and JDK. In a series of five tutorials, Deepak Vohra explains how to use the module system in your applications. He walks you through setting up your environment, creating classes within modules, configuring VM Args for your module path and running...

Few programming languages make it past 20 years and still retain high popularity. But Java has managed to remain widely used in many contexts because of its evolution—not just of the language, but of the larger direction of the ecosystem. None of this is clearer than in the advent of GraalVM, an ahead-of-time native compiler for Java code that coincidentally is written in Java and supports many other languages—both JVM-based and native. To understand how to use Graal for your...

When developers speak with admiration of the Java ecosystem, they’re referring especially to two things: the abundance of excellent development tools and the vast number of third-party libraries. Libraries are available today to do almost anything that is required, and for the most part, they’re open source and freely available. A quick look at Maven Central—one of the principal repositories for Java artifacts—lists more than 3 million entries, of which nearly 300,000 are...

By Andrew Binstock, Editor in Chief, Java Magazine When design patterns first appeared in programming via the famous “Gang of Four” book, they represented a breakthrough on two levels. The first was that they provided a prescription for implementing solutions to basic programming problems. In this sense, they defined best practices. They also provided terminology for describing certain solutions: decorators, factories, and singletons, among others. In time, the term...
