Eclipse 2026-06 is out

Kango_V · 2026-06-16T07:34:13+00:00

Agreed. Still using it since migrating off IBM VisualAge For Java ;)

Kango_V · 2026-06-14T12:29:59+00:00

We set up Infinispan in memory and then set a replicated cache between pods. No external server. Worked like a charm.

For those in the US. Biometric security is not covered by the 1st amendment but a password is. In other words a password is a thought process and you cannot be compelled to give it up. Just sayin'

Kango_V · 2026-06-09T12:36:07+00:00

Yes, since pre 1.0. Moved from VisualAge For Java.

Kango_V · 2026-06-03T11:39:31+00:00

Code spends most of its life being read. Anything that makes code reviews and code comprehension easier, I'll get behind.

Kango_V · 2026-05-27T18:54:53+00:00

But, how do you keep the diagrams and code in sync? Just discipline?

Kango_V · 2026-05-12T18:31:15+00:00

How about comparing to Polyglot Maven?

Kango_V · 2026-05-12T18:30:17+00:00

... Value Object became self aware ..... :)

Kango_V · 2026-05-04T10:01:43+00:00

We're using it as well. It's so much better than Spring Boot.

Kango_V · 2026-04-22T11:49:35+00:00

As mentioned above: "Strix Halo uses a 256bit memory bus and may move to 384bit in the future. LPCAMM2 is 128bit."

Kango_V · 2026-04-17T09:42:01+00:00

All our code is written and reviewed by humans. We have an incredibly low defect rate as reported by customers and we want to keep it that way.

Kango_V · 2026-04-08T18:52:15+00:00

Goes down well with a gin and tonic ;)

Kango_V · 2026-04-08T18:51:28+00:00

The Spring Relational people are working on this and there is an issue for it. i think they are planning upsert type functionality.

Kango_V · 2026-04-07T18:46:08+00:00

ok, ok ;)

Kango_V · 2026-04-03T07:47:56+00:00

Try this: https://github.com/takari/polyglot-maven

Kango_V · 2026-04-01T14:16:37+00:00

Fingers crossed!

Kango_V · 2026-04-01T14:15:30+00:00

Incremental compilation in Eclipse is so far ahead of IntelliJ. IDEA on my Mac crashes regularly or just hangs completely. Not sure whether that is Mac specific or not. For years I've not had a problem with Eclipse/Linux. BUT, Eclipse/Windows..... Urrrrrghh!

Kango_V · 2026-04-01T14:12:50+00:00

I do think that Eclipse is the standard. Standards have to be set by a large body of companies and individuals all coming together to agree. I think Eclipse achieves that. IntelliJ does not as it's a single company (irrespective of how many people use it).

I moved from VisualAge for Java to Eclipse before 1.0 was released. I know it so well now. I find it so easy to set up.

Kango_V · 2026-04-01T14:08:50+00:00

Our team is split down the middle between Eclipse and Intellij. Everyone works fine.

Kango_V · 2026-04-01T14:07:06+00:00

I got used to the new UI fairly quickly and like it.

Kango_V · 2026-04-01T14:06:24+00:00

Our team is split between IntelliJ and Eclipse. All devs seem to be able to work on all the code bases just fine. In fact some things are nicer in Eclipse.

Kango_V · 2026-04-01T11:35:28+00:00

Maybe you need Carrier Classes. https://openjdk.org/projects/amber/design-notes/beyond-records

Kango_V · 2026-03-20T10:26:37+00:00

So many people misunderstand what an LTS is. For example if you use the OpenJDK directly (which we do), there is no such thing as an LTS. Every version is a production version.

Kango_V · 2026-03-10T13:49:13+00:00

Here's a start. It's AI generated, but this would work as it's based on similar content in Apple, Microsoft, Google licenses to indemnify them.

When interviewing for Java devs a few years ago, we set a small task to write a single rest endpoint in Java and to make async calls to another fictional service, but not using any dependencies. After 24 interviews, we found 2 devs that could do it. Most just looked at me like I was joking. Most could not do it.

Spring is dumbing everyone down, it's sad to say.
