A #Java guy at the #MicrosoftIgnite conference? Yeap.... That's me. Demoing #Azure #Copilot migration agent and the #GitHub Copilot app modernization to 20,000 people in person plus 200,000 online viewers. No risk. Full push!

The future of online gaming is game streaming. Millions of GPUs already in data centers. Latency between players is near zero. Matchmaking will be based on data center connectivity.

"#Java has maintained relevance through all of the waves that we’ve seen over the last couple of decades – it is the exemplar of a general purpose programming language and runtime." -- James Governor (@monkchips.bsky.social), @redmonk.com Shout out to Rod Johnson too redmonk.com/jgovernor/ja...

Trip to Brazil ending, and now at the airport. Just saw someone with Microsoft Word opened, writing a document word by word, letter by letter, without using AI.... Like a sociopath.

Today at Microsoft Brasil 🇧🇷 we welcomed a great set of customers who are heavily engaged in developer productivity. So, of course we talked GitHub Copilot. Also, a Commodore! Reminded me of @scott.hanselman.com's TED Talk.

I started a thing (with Copilot). It is called jdx, a command-line tool that helps you manage your JDKs. No, it won't install/remove/etc, that's up to you however you want. But it will help you activate a JDK globally and locally, by using Maven/Gradle features. github.com/brunoborges/...

Everything is fine...

Man, I love Agentic AI for dealing with Maven projects. The combination of convention over configuration, well structured and documented XML files, decades of history, and LLMs, make Agentic AI the perfect tool for maintaining Maven pom.xml files.

I can now run HelloFX on an iPhone. This required only really minor changes to OpenJFX and OpenJDK, and I'll update github.com/openjdk-mobi... as soon as I find some time. Most of the work (> 99%) went into understanding the tons of options in XCode. (1/2)

Worry less about which model to use. Let VS Code and GitHub Copilot choose for you.

Runtime Library Intelligence for Production JVMs. Introducing JLib Inspector 1.0.0! Inspect loaded JARs, unloaded JARs, their manifests, and.... Bonus: JVM details dump! brunoborges.github.io/jlib-inspect...

It's 2025 folks... Stop using "JAVA_OPTS" which requires shell expansion in the command line, as the JVM doesn't read it at all. Instead, use JDK_JAVA_OPTIONS in your Dockerfiles and Kubernetes deployment descriptors. m2c

Hey all, Excited to share I will be speaking (and attending) IBM TechXchange, in Orlando, next month. Come join me to learn about Java App Modernization, and Java on Kubernetes. Two of my most favorite topics! (if you want to attend, I may have tickets to share. DM me)

VS @Code Dev Days is coming to Vancouver, BC. Stay tuned and save the date: October 2nd, at our @Microsoft Canada office.

Recently I spoke at The Forward Slash podcast. I believe software architecture principles are more important than ever, and platforms must properly guide users to implement them. I'd love to get your comments and thoughts! #VibeCode #AI #Programming open.spotify.com/episode/4Bof...

It is 2025 and the best way to track which class version a particular JDK installation has, is by running echo 'class T {}' > t.java javac t.java javap -verbose T | grep "major version"

Are people using #Maven's Toolchain feature for handling multiple JDKs? I've been, and it works really well! maven.apache.org/guides/mini/...
