I recently noticed that, while module declarations can be annotated, their directives cannot. Just to be clear @SomeAnnotation // Allowed module com.groupName.artifactName { @AnotherAnnotation // Not allowed, exports can't have annotations exports ...; @AnotherAnnotation // Not allowed, requires can't have annotations requires ...; } I was wondering if anyone knows why, or if it's just a matter of nobody thinking it could be useful. Anyways, I kind of need it for a project I'd like to work on, does anyone know where I could report it as a feature request on the OpenJDK mailing list? submi ..read more

Wanted to get quick consensus of what people are using as their primary IDE? I was an Eclipse guy until I used IntelliJ and loved it. I don't use Visual Studio Code for Java at all but I'm getting direction from my company that we should using VS Code as our Java IDE. I don't agree with this but I haven't really done too much research on this and curious by asking the community what IDEs are people are using for Java development. submitted by /u/stubz17 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I'd like to play around and try some experimental code with it. Is there anything more recent than the build listed here? Cause this looks to be about 2 years old. https://jdk.java.net/valhalla/ I have no clue if the repositories on github for valhalla are for a complete and working JVM version, to build them into a JVM. If you know best, please let me know. If the heads in Oracle are preparing a new preview/EA please let us know too! Many thanks! submitted by /u/xGnoSiSx [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

No, I am not advertising to use it in production. It was made just for fun, to learn something new along the way. So far, I've discovered the differences between Maven and Gradle version resolution, reasons behind some design decisions, use cases for various architectural patterns etc. Major achievements: * Project inheritance * Parallel builds * Task caching * Dynamically loaded plugins with custom build tasks * Integration with Maven 2 layout compliant remote repositories (Maven central) * Integration with existing Maven's POMs for libraries * Support for JUnit Jupiter * Support for Spring ..read more

My main thought is now companies who had java 8 for free or whatever, some have been hunted down to make sure they are licensed to use java 8 and just not rip it off somewhere. My company uses java 8 but I never got a chance to get java 8 since I was at college which already was past 8 by that time. It's kinda annoying for me to be running in an almost different environment than my coworkers. Ive experienced issues that only came up due to the different java versions, and only once has it ever caused things to break on the server but not my local. I now use open jdk 8, and have imports in my ..read more

We are currently deciding whether to implement the RabbitMQ or Kafka protocol, aiming to integrate with the existing ecosystem more quickly. From our experience, Kafka seems easier to implement. However, Kafka has multiple versions and a variety of clients, which might introduce some challenges. Our core requirements are: Protocol Extensibility: We may need to implement some custom features for internal use. Ease of Maintenance. Ease of Development: We do not ..read more
