#java17 — Public Fediverse posts

I am working in a team on upgrading a large #Java8 UI application to #Java17, and I really like the way #Git helps the collaboration.

For discovery, we started an experimental branch and flipped the switch to Java 17 in the build process. Nearly everything from specific Gradle plugins needing to be updated, XML-DSIG SHA1 being disabled by secure mode, SimpleDateFormatter default formatting pattern change starts to show first during build, then through the unit, integration and UI tests...

At work, I maintain a #java app with #JavaEE backend and #vue2 frontend. It's #java17 already, #JakartaEE will shortly follow due to the #ApacheShiro 2.0 update. It runs on #Java20 so it will be ported to #java21 soon!

However, that's only half of my job. The other is: making Java, web- and appservers ready for deployment, hardening everything, creating scripts for automation and deployment, a few other Java apps...

... I love it, and I have never seen a similar job description in my life!

Are you still stuck on Java 8? It's time to make the switch to Java 17! check the new features and best practices for migrating to the latest version. 📷
