Piotr Przyby\u0142<\/a> \u2013 Notorious engineer at work and after hours, tracing the meanders of the art of software engineering. Remote Software Gardener, mostly working in web-oriented Java gardens. Java Champion. Testcontainers Champion. Programming usually in Java (since 1.3), Scala, and Go, but in other languages too. A fan of agility, seen mostly as choosing the right tools and approaches after asking the right questions. Developer, trainer, and conference speaker, currently working for Elastic as a Senior Developer Advocate.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s get back from general Computer Science to Java. Unless you have been living in total wilderness, I think you might have heard a thing or two about the AI (r)evolution happening recently. ;-) Contrary to some rumours, Java is a very decent language that benefits from improvements in this area, and with the release of Spring AI 1.0, things will get even easier! The article by Josh Long, Philipp Krenn, and Laura Trotta<\/a> (I know, and have lots of respect for all of them) will let you understand how to start with your own RAG quickly, benefiting from features of Spring AI, Elasticsearch, and more. Oh, and if you\u2019d like to learn more about stuff like vector search or searching in general, AI, and so on, Elasticsearch Labs<\/a> might be a good place to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Speaking about Java itself, there\u2019s of course the 30th anniversary of Java! It\u2019s a big thing, although it might be disturbing to some that the language that keeps dying is still pretty much alive and actively developed. Right now, there are 17 active Java Enhancement Proposals<\/a> targeting Java 25, which in my opinion proves that despite its size and legacy, the Java ecosystem is still evolving fast. I couldn\u2019t resist, and wrote about Java’s Structured Concurrency, Elasticsearch Java client, DevEx, and a Developer Advocate’s job<\/a> on my personal page, touching on all of this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I think that some reasons why our ecosystem is still robust are that we can learn from our past mistakes. While some of them are irreversible, many of them can shape how we think and evolve our systems and our daily jobs. A great example is the Allegro folks sharing how to avoid mistakes in Gradle<\/a>, because with flexibility comes responsibility. And also, our tech stack and our jobs are not only the language, the SDK, the frameworks, and build\/CI\/CD tools, but predominantly our mindset. That\u2019s something we shall all keep improving!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Check out the most recent news from the Java world: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Learn new things and enjoy unique insights from industry experts: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Everything you might have missed about Kotlin in May:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learn more about the most recent AI news, innovations, problems, and predictions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Get to know programming technologies and frameworks better:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some of the must-attend online and offline events in June:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take some time to think about the non-tech topics that are of significance to tech people at the moment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t miss the latest updates from the IntelliJ IDEA team: <\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s it for today!

Greetings, fellow Java developers! It’s a pleasure to be here. It\u2019s exciting to be in the Java community, for a language that celebrated its 30th anniversary, which has been proclaimed to be dead so many times, and it\u2019s still doing surprisingly well. We can see that with all the exciting stuff happening around Java 25, and changes in the ecosystem at large.
I\u2019m humbled and honoured to be here. It\u2019s great to see the community and the ecosystem evolve, especially given that I\u2019ve been a part of it since (checks notes\u2026) 2003 ;-)
I was first exposed to Java at my alma mater, Wroc\u0142aw University of Science and Technology. Recently, there\u2019s been one more reason to be a proud alumnus: \u201cOdra 5\u201d!
“Odra 5” is the name of Poland’s first quantum computer, recently launched at the Wroc\u0142aw University of Science and Technology. It\u2019s a five-qubit machine, developed by Finnish company IQM Quantum Computers, that represents a significant milestone in the advancement of quantum computing in Central and Eastern Europe. I find the name cute and not without meaning for local IT history fans. You can read more about it here at the University’s official page<\/a>. Also, \u201cOdra\u201d is the Polish name for the Oder river, and\u2026 computers manufactured in Wroc\u0142aw in the 1960s<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nJava News<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
