Shenandoah is unlikely to see the light of production release until Java 10. I ran a very early piece on this - http://www.jclarity.com/2014/03/12/shenandoah-experiment-1-w... - really glad to see more experi

ZeroTurnaround have a payware product (that's highly acclaimed in this space) called JRebel. It swaps out bytecode directly as opposed to using Java's (somewhat broken) classloader mechanism.

The project to watch here is project Valhalla - valhalla-dev AT openjdk DOT java DOT net. Indeed the full solution of value types will not land until Java 10, but Java 9 will hopefully contain the very useful Collection of primitives enhanc

Project Jigsaw (modularising Java itself and introducing a module system) will be a serious attempt at solving a part of this problem but may not land in its entirety for Java 9 (modularising the source code landed today on trunk). OSGi c

That's a Java EE API. I've been working with the Java SE and Java EE folks to make sure that a new version of that will sit on top of the core JDK 9 one.

I don't think it will crush the alternatives, but it may stop them from becoming one of the top mainstream languages (latest RedMonk analysis had Scala at the top of the chasing pack for example).

The process was reasonably random - the survey was distributed to the global Java User Groups & I'd say over 2000 responses is something worth paying attention to statistically (yeah, I know - out of x Million Java developers it&#x

Yeah - it seems like the principle has been around forever, yet everyday I see a Java code base in particular I see the principles lying in a shattered pile of procedural code. So it's definitely worth repeating the message!

Really good to see more products/tools in this space. I don't mind the whole Docker/Chef/Puppet + scripts approach, but it's not for everyone.

The good old build tools war! Was interesting to see the massive drop in Ant/Ivy as part of the modern Java build set. I wonder if Maven will be able to hold on - it's polyglot POM version needs to come out quickly methinks.

Swing is effectively dead. Oracle will no longer invest in the technology, the preferred way forward is definitely JavaFX (2.0+), it shows a lot of promise for those who still need this type of UI tech.

There's no real work being done on this at the moment (I was involved with trying to kick start a small team with the original patch authors). We've started discussing it again, but it's looking like a case of "Real Life" getting in the way

Well it has some big challenges: * Its ability to take advantage of multi-core (good support coming in with Java 8 - 2013) * Its large footprint (to be sorted out in Java 9 - 2015) * Its ability to multi-tenant and have shared memory space

Several people have mentioned Play. There's also Grails, designed as an familiar clone of Rails. There's also Spring Roo, and JBoss's SEAM. Scala also has Lift and Clojure has Compojure (if Lisp style languages are your thing) So plenty of

Actually this is coming with Java 8 via project Jigsaw (new modularity for Java).

To both of these points, you still have classloader issues which cannot be resolved (App/Web server vs application classloading). This is one of the reasons that Java 8 is going down the modular Jigsaw route (taking ideas from OSGi along t

Some surprisingly well balanced comments on that article, colour me surprised, might actually read more of the Register's tech articles from now on.
