It’s time to change the specification names… When we first moved the APIs and TCKs for the Java EE specifications over to the Eclipse Foundation under the Jakarta EE banner, we kept the existing names for the specifications in place, and adopted placeholder names for the open source projects that hold their artifacts.

In an ideal agile world, the team would work directly with a customer. When you have a small product that serves maybe three types of customer (new, expert, admin for example), and that customer is down the figurative hall, you might not need any product people. You can create short feedback loops with your customer. (See Part 1 for more ...

But actually,Stream::count can sometimes be done in a single operation, no matter how many elements you have. Read this article and learn how. Count Complexity The Stream::count terminal operation counts the number of elements in aStream. The complexity of ...

Microservices here, Microservices there… There a lot of knowledge sharing and best practices out there. On this post, I will share my real experience using microservices under real-time requirements, that add significant challenges to a distributed architecture. What would be the definition of “real-time”? I consider real-time as a timeline of request/response that takes no longer than 50ms. Indeed – ...

When you are writing unit test you are faced with many kinds of collaborators and they all have very specific behaviours, knowing which test double you have to use in the right time can make your life easier. Dummy The first one is the Dummy Object, it’s the simplest one, a Dummy is just an object that you pass to ...

Quarkus, the new “supersonic, subatomic” Java framework is currently getting a lot of attention. The ideas behind this build and runtime tool are indeed more than interesting for the future of enterprise Java. What are the benefits and shortcomings of using Quarkus? Getting rid of dynamics Quarkus takes the reasoning that most of the dynamics of an enterprise Java runtime ...

When we write multi-threaded applications in Java, we are predisposed to implementing threaded classes by using the “Runnable” interface. Your class has to simply implement this interface and override the run method. For trivial use cases, we can directly start the thread by invoking the “start” method, and the flow of control is delegated to the run method as a ...
