💖 Today marks 30 years of #Java! Three decades of “aha!” moments, groundbreaking features, and code that changed the world. Let’s celebrate every line we’ve written! 🎉 #Java30withIntelliJIDEA jb.gg/java30

🎥 For 30 years, Java has been our companion. It taught us patience, sparked our creativity, and never let us give up. Watch our tribute video and experience the journey!👇 youtu.be/kHybgBHqL2A

@intellijidea.com's splash screen today and for the whole week is celebrating something special! जन्मदिन की बधाई, जावा! (Happy Birthday, Java!) How would you wish Java a Happy Birthday in your native language? #Java30 #JavaBirthday @java-champions.bsky.social

#JavaJokeOfTheDay When you scroll past: @Validated @Transactional @SomeThrows @Slf4j @GettingOutOfHand @ISwearThereIsAClassHereSomewhere And find: public void aMethod() { .. } No XML. No boilerplate. It just works. Annotations are Java’s spell book. #JavaDukeShortStories

Tell me you are using @IntelliJIDEA, without saying so 😉 I'll start: I try to use Alt+Enter (in vain) while using other applications, such as, Google docs.

#JavaJokeOfTheDay Some Java methods be like: validateUserInputAndSanitizeIfRequiredThenProceedToNextStepUnlessCancelled(); By the time you finish reading the method name, your IDE has already indexed the whole project. #JavaDukeShortStories #MadeForEachOther ;)

AI might write code. New frameworks might trend every month. But you can’t automate community — real people & friendships, JUG meetups, learning from each other, lots of fun and open-source magic. Java’s true power = people. Always has been. Always will be ❤️ @DelhiJUG @VikasMalik @ChhavnishMittal

Join us tomorrow for an in-person meetup, @Nagarro Gurgaon, and learn from the amazing leaders - @venkats.bsky.social and Vikas Malik. We have Coke, Pizza, Samosa and Kulfi too! Yay! Meetup Details: www.meetup.com/delhi-ncr-ju...

Meet Junie, your AI coding buddy from JetBrains—now built right into your favorite IDE, that is, IntelliJ IDEA (and other IDEs from JetBrains).

IntelliJ IDEA just leveled up with version 2025.1! Meet Junie, your AI coding buddy from JetBrains—now built right into your favorite IDE, Java 24 support, and much more!

How is this: #JavaJokeOfTheDay Generics in Java: <T extends Comparable<T>> Looks like XML, acts like safety net. Safety never looked so... pointy. #JavaDukeShortStories

#JavaJokeOfTheDay What’s Java’s Voldemort? null. Say it once. Debug forever. #JavaDukeShortStories

#JavaJokeOfTheDay Random dev: “Two versions a year? Java’s moving too fast!” Java: “You mocked me for being slow. Now you want training wheels?” Pick a lane — or stick around. Try the new features sooner… you’ll love it 💕. #JavaDukeShortStories

The large amount of libraries in the Java ecosystem is a blessing, but developers should be careful when adding a dependency. Do risk-assessment, look at quality, maintainability, security,... And especially: keep in mind todays JDK provide lots of stuff that in the past was in external deps only!

#JavaJokeOfTheDay Why does Java use static typing? Because assigning "hello" to an int shouldn’t be a runtime jump scare. Java straps on a helmet before riding. Others ride blindfolded, crash, and blame the road. #JavaDukeShortStories

#JavaJokeOfTheDay Why doesn’t Java have operator overloading? Because chaos is not a feature. #JavaDukeShortStories

Check out my blog post on how using Markdown for documentation comments could help the amazing libraries, tools, or frameworks you are creating :) Should you change all existing code documentation to markdown? It depends :) Details in the blog post.

#JavaJokeOfTheDay Why do some people complain Java needs a ; at the end of a line? Same reason they think pineapple 🍍 ruins pizza — they’re just bored. Java’s busy working on better solutions than your semicolon feelings. 😉 #JavaDukeShortStories

#JavaJokeOfTheDay Why do Java developers use a class literally named Unsafe? Because it gives them raw, unchecked, low-level power. 💥 Sometimes, danger comes with speed. We all do unsafe things in life. At least Java warned us first. 😏 #JavaDukeShortStories

Here’s some #Maven dependency advice: if your source code imports a class then make sure its provider (the JAR file) is explicitly listed as a dependency. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT rely on the transitive closure of resolved dependencies. If used, declare it. You’ll thank me later.

#EclipseCollections has been in development for 21 years, with 10 years @eclipsefdn.bsky.social. I wrote a book about the library and many lessons I've learned after 35 years of coding. Counting down the next 10 years evolving and growing in OSS w/ #Java. 👍🙏

#JavaJokeOfTheDay What happens when you run 20-year-old Java code? It runs. Simple. Other languages drop support, break things, and call it “progress.” Some age like milk. Java? Like enterprise wine. 🍷 #JavaDukeShortStories

Check out the 'Featured Content' section in this month's #JavaAnnotatedMonthly, in which I highlight #Java24 and the #JavaOne conference!

Spring Modulith Crash Course : Building Modular Monoliths using Spring Boot www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkP2...

#JavaJokeOfTheDay What happens when you mock a Java developer for writing too many lines? Nothing. They’re busy building apps that run faster than you blink, consume half the energy, and power research on Mars. 🚀 Stop hissing. Start optimizing. 🐍🔋 #JavaDukeShortStories

Spring Boot REST API Anti-Patterns and Best Practices www.youtube.com/watch?v=koxu... #Java #SpringBoot #BestPractices

The #EclipseCollections repo on GitHub recently passed 2,500 stars. The project marks 10 years at the @eclipsefdn.bsky.social this year. 250 stars per year is modest, but steady growth. Thank you to everyone who has starred the repo, and congrats to the contributors! 🙏 🎉 github.com/eclipse-coll...

#JavaJokeOfTheDay 🏆 And the award for the “Longest Running Incubating Feature in a Leading Role” goes to... 🥁 Vector API! Premiered in JDK 16, heroically powering vector computations... Fans: Production ready yet? JDK: One more preview… for nostalgia. #JavaDukeShortStories

You'd think if AI was as valuable as it's being marketed as, the Cursor team would use it to "generate" proprietary LSP extensions using the agentic products they're pushing. At some point you gotta eat your own dogfood.

#JavaJokeOfTheDay What happened when Duke started learning Stream Gatherers? 1️⃣ Wait.. what’s a Gatherer? 2️⃣ Collectors.. with intermediate issues? 3️⃣ Googles “Java Gatherers cartoon” (again) 4️⃣ Okay.. that’s brilliant! 5️⃣ You not using them? How retro!😎 #JavaDukeShortStories

My presentation on #Java Stream Gatherers at #JavaOne is now available: youtu.be/v_5SKpfkI2U?...

#JavaJokeOfTheDay What happens when Duke forgets to clean up? Don’t worry—the Garbage Collector has his back. Graceful. Reliable. Just… don’t rush it, Duke. 😄 #JavaDukeShortStories

#JavaJokeOfTheDay What happens when you send a meeting invite to a #Java developer? They mark it as @Deprecated, schedule it for removal in the next release, and send it back! :) #JavaDukeShortStories

#Spring in #NewDelhi :) (Malabar silk-cotton tree, Hollyhock, Crown of Thorns, and White Bougainvillea)

I'm pleased to share that I'll be co-presenting with @cguntur.bsky.social at @javaone.bsky.social 2025! #Java #IntelliJIDEA

Excited to host another edition of #IntelliJIDEALiveStream and learn from the JUnit team - Marc Philipp, Christian Stein, @sambrannen.com and @jderancourt.bsky.social. Join us today (27th Nov, 3-4 pm UTC) and find out what's new in #JUnit by the JUnit Crew! www.youtube.com/watch?v=w93z...

Here is my new article on one of my favourite features released in #IntelliJIDEA 2024.3. blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2024/11... Check out how the redesigned Structure tool window helps in understanding and exploring the codebase.

Two weeks left folks, for the @arcofai 2025 CFP to end We've received a number of proposals for the "AI in Development" track. We can use more proposals in other areas, esp. Ethics, DevOps, & Multi Modal Models. Don't be left behind, deadline: Dec. 3 www.arcofai.com

Parts of Leyden and other CDS improvements are now in JDK mainline, in time for JDK 24 fork. The improvements are visible even on simple HelloWorld-style examples. There are even more things to squeeze!

"The JUnit Crew Presents What's New" — Join us (@sormuras.bsky.social, @marcphilipp.de, @sambrannen.com, and @jderancourt.bsky.social) on November 27 for the IntelliJ IDEA Livestream! blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2024/11...

Look ma! I'm on #JavaOne's homepage with @ammbra1508.bsky.social, Elder Moraes, @Mohammed Aboullaite, and Delhi JUG! 😍 www.oracle.com/javaone/
