It was bad. No actually, it was terrible. Trump gave an interview to Fox’s Laura Ingraham, and with his guard down and no one to blame but himself, he really put his foot in it. And MAGA is pissed AF. My write-up in the replies.

Don't miss my new blog post in the Road to GA series to learn how the Spring team empowers Spring developers to make their Spring Boot 4 application null-safe, to reduce or remove the risk of NullPointerException and to solve "the billion dollar mistake"! spring.io/blog/2025/11... #spring #java

Two of the pope's four favorite movies are explicitly anti-Nazi (maybe three, I haven't seen ORDINARY PEOPLE).

Think about it, MAGA. Take all the time you need.

The silver lining to the surrender by 8 Dems is that the House GOP must return to vote on it. Johnson must swear in Grijalva, and the discharge petition on the Epstein files must force a full floor vote. Stay tuned.

Sometimes, small details matter... While polishing Spring Framework 7, Juergen Hoeller has been able to craft a BridgeMethodResolver optimization that massively reduces the reflection performed on bean methods at startup. It has been backported to 6.2.x too. github.com/spring-proje...

And you can even use BeanRegistrar to introduce your own configuration DSL, see github.com/spring-proje... for an example.

Amazing, the Levenshtein distance is only 1.

#SpringCloud 2025.1.0-RC1 will be released early next week and will be compatible with Spring Boot 4.0.0-RC2.

Please give it a try and let us know what you think! This is your last opportunity before GA on Nov 20! spring.io/blog/2025/11...

I am happy to share that we have released Spring Boot 4.0.O-RC2. RC2 adds some fine tuning for Spring projects that had to do a second RC as well. We've also swiftly reacted to changes in the community: Jersey released a 4.0.0 that is compatible with Jakarta EE 11 so its support was reinstated.

macOS 26.1 causes the selection highlighting in the Eclipse based IDEs to not work anymore (which can be quite annoying). The fix for this is already implemented and will ship as part of Eclipse 2025-12 in mid December.

Just dropped a new video showing off one of my favorite features coming in Spring Framework 7: the Rest Test Client! This makes resting APIs so much easier with one API for everything: unit tests, integration tests, and full server tests. Watch me build tests in minutes: youtu.be/dPM8n0uNhes

I love how easy to use the new RestTestClient is in Spring Boot 4. It has a nice fluent API and I can use it for all different types of tests. Here is my first look at the RestTestClient 👇🏻 www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPM8...
