Don't forget to reserve your spot for the annual Java Champions conference at www.eventbrite.com/e/jchampions... . This is a free, four-day event where we can learn from and interact with Java champions.

I hope everyone has a magnificent 2026.

Congratulations to the Spring team on the smooth release of version 7: spring.io/blog/2025/11...

It's always a treat to hear @mreinhold.org talk about the stewardship of Java given his 3 decades of experience. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny4C...

@josepaumard.bsky.social just released the 300th #codingtip on the Java channel, please do yourself a favour and check out this shorts series with your own cup of coffee www.youtube.com/shorts/gGumO...

I strongly recommend watching the latest Marco show, which was hosted by @jetbrains.com where he interviews Gavin King, the creator of Hibernate, to gain some insights into its myths and ORMs in general.

There are certainly worse things to do after dinner than watch @venkats.bsky.social talk about OOP vs DOP on the CoffeeJUG channel: www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1E8...

#Java25 is releasing later today, and once again, we get some new treats. Let's take a look together: github.com/SimonVerhoev... .

Just a reminder that free open-source software has value, and is key to a lot of aspects of our daily life: fermigier.com/blog/2025/07...

An interesting and entertaining watch alongside your favourite beverage on a Sunday morning: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9azN.... #RoadTo25

Please make sure that you're using a Servlet 6.1-compliant container if you're planning to upgrade to Spring Boot 4 in November. The early bird catches the worm.

For those using Spring Boot Modulith and @intellijidea.com please do yourself a favour and update to version 2025.2 as it contains some nice enhancements for us: www.jetbrains.com/idea/whatsne... .

What do Minecraft, credit cards, and NASA have in common? #Java – and it has just turned 30. To celebrate, we made a short video on how far it’s come and what happens when you run modern code on Java 1.0. Episode 1 is live 🎬 youtu.be/SB8WW-PGClE

Not that it wasn't important before, but with the rising usage of AI tools, I wonder how many developers are regretting creating semantic debt. For example, `i` over a meaningful variable name, magic numbers, et cetera.

I am Microservice guru. Unleash your inner Duke and win a limited-edition T-shirt! #Java30WithIntelliJIDEA www.jetbrains.com/lp/java-30/m...

Spring Boot 3.5 is now available: spring.io/blog/2025/05... . Congratulations to the whole team.

Yet another day of fascinating Java Champions talks. Why not drop by and hear Ken Fogel talk about teaching Java? www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChEB...

It's great to see the strong focus on the onboarding process and listening to community feedback for the on-ramp features, as described in mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/am.... The static members not being "automagically" imported will certainly be clearer for beginners.

I love the message behind www.youtube.com/watch?v=clF2... . Certain experiences can truly impact your well-being long-term, and overcoming those can be a challenge. Please be compassionate to one another, not everybody was dealt the same hand.

I've been many times in Ukraine since Euromaïdan. Because of putin's brutal invasion of Ukraine, I couldn't visit my friends for 2 years. I'm extremely happy to announce that I'll visit the Coffee JUG in Lviv on January 25th! All information below 👇
