#JUnit has a new logo!!! 🚀 To everyone who submitted proposals and participated in the design discussions... Thank You! 👏🏼 github.com/junit-team/j...

So, I tried building reproducible binaries with Go by setting CGO_ENABLED=0 and -trimpath as suggested, yet I still get non-reproducible outcome, as binaries include their build timestamp. I’m sure I’m missing something but I have no clue what it may be. Any ideas? TIA github.com/kordamp/gm/b...

Can‘t stress enough how much Gradle sucks at UX, or rather excels at trashing UX, in favor of gaining a few nano seconds during builds and pleasing the build cache 😡

JReleaser 1.21.0 has been released! andresalmiray.com/jreleaser-1-...

Ran the Riehener Lauf Tag 10km for the second time, in 00:53:22.362, my fastest 10km so far 🤩 Last year made it in 00:58:52 when I broke the 01:00:00 barrier 😅

👀🧵

Gum now relies on @jreleaser.org for its own releases, both snapshots and stable. Eating your own dog food as they say, proving #JReleaser works for Go projects github.com/kordamp/gm/r...

Pondering if @jreleaser.org should offer an MCP server of its own, whether included with the CLI or as additional download (due to dependency bloat) 🤔

Finally managed to squeeze the follow-up (to "Jackson 3.0 released") blog post out -> cowtowncoder.medium.com/why-upgrade-...

And it came to pass, Gradle 9 removed the -b flag, breaking Gum as a result. In fairness there was a deprecation warning since 8 but I was hoping they would back down as yet again such move hinders UX. Silly me. Working on a fix and posting an update soon. github.com/kordamp/gm

What is wrong with you, Duo?

Ran the Muttenzer Herbslauft 10kms in 00:58:34,1 😎 with 178m elevation gain. Part of the trek was in the woods, right foot got tangled in a root and did a full tumble (like those StarWars droids IYKWIM) 😅

Color me impressed, was able to build an 8 year old project configured with Gradle 4.1 and Java 8 without any fuzz. Let’s see if luck continues when upgrading the build to Gradle 9 and Java 25 😅 github.com/aalmiray/cac...

My @graalvm.org Native Image deep dive recording is already up: youtube.com/watch?v=1J6m... 🐰🚀 It includes the very public first demo of Project Crema, Open World for Native Image, at 2:19:54 😅 Thank you, @devoxx.com! All demos and notes are here: github.com/alina-yur/gr...

BTW paraphrasing Alexey Shipilev: 1. Do not make your own micro benchmarks 2. Seriously DO NOT 3. Use JMH if you must

Today I was reminded about that time I’ve got into benchmarking 2nd level cache options between EclipseLink and Hibernate … back in 2018 😅 #codeone Perhaps I should update it with recent versions of Java, libraries & frameworks, and real databases with Testcontainers youtu.be/lD28ApBmFeA?...

Panoramalauf Gibswil 2025, 10.4kms in 01:04:30,8. That first km was 🔥 my fastest so far. Elevation gain in the forest slowed me down a bit 🥵

🚀 jandex-gradle-plugin 2.3.0 has been released! https://github.com/kordamp/jandex-gradle-plugin/releases/tag/v2.3.0

Throwback to the 🇳🇴Norwegian JUG tour this past June. The map editor believes BSL and GVA are the same 😅

The next edition of Hack.Commit.Push Switzerland🇨🇭will take place in Rotkreuz LU this November 22nd. Care to join us for some Open Source hacking? It’s for a good cause! switzerland2025.hack-commit-pu.sh

Here’s why I advocate for posting non-Maven resolvable artifacts such as ZIPs, TARs, etc, to places other than Maven Central. Post only JARs (binaries, javadocs, sources) and required metadata (poms, checksums, signatures, and likely sboms). Place every other artifact elsewhere.

We’re sorry to let you know that this vJUG session, with Alina Yurenko, has unfortunately been cancelled. We hope to reschedule it in the near future. In the meantime, you can: 👉 Catch up on past sessions: youtube.com/@virtualJUG 👉 Connect with other Java enthusiasts on Slack: bit.ly/vJUG-Slack
