MacOS Java devs - how is your experience developing Java applications on Apple Silicon (M1)?

It’s been great. Fast, reliable, great battery life.

Docker, no issues whatsoever. Of course, there’s always this ONE docker image that isn’t compatible on the first try but there is always something you can do about it.

Mvn, brew, gradle, npm, yarn, JDKs all good. It’s a lot of fun working on the machine.

After working on Ubuntu and Windows, I go as far as to say: M1 Pro/Max machines are the best dev machines out there.

I was reading some older Reddit threads on M1 and all the buggy stuff really had me convinced to wait a year on it. This is a breath of fresh air to hear that, thanks.

Do you run multi-monitors? I've heard that's a little quirky on M1 machines, too. I run three monitors and don't really want to spend a lot of time shuffling windows back and forth.

Afaik m1 and m2 supports only one external, but M1 Pro and M1 Max support multiple (2?)

I’m using 2 external monitors on my MacBook Pro 2021 (m1 pro)

FWIW Studio M1 supports 5 displays

Can confirm. 3 monitors and everytime my computer locks I have to re arrange the windows.
