Java is a general-purpose, concurrent, class-based, object-oriented computer programming language that is specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible.
Developers can “write once, run anywhere” (WORA), meaning that code that runs on one platform does not need to be recompiled to run on another. Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode (class file) that can run on any Java virtual machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture.
The biggest new feature in Java 10 is the introduction of the Local-Variable Type Interface. What is Local-Variable Type Inference? This new feature will allow you to declare and initialise local variables with var, rather than specifying a type. This feature is already a part of most other statically typed languages (It has been in…
Java 10 is out now, just a few months after the major Java 9 release brought us modularity, jshell and the G1 garbage collector. It is the first in the new system of smaller, incremental releases. It is also the first to be named after its release date. Under the new versioning system releases…
This month our posts are focusing on code quality and we have already covered how you can use IDEs to improve your code to higher standard. Building on that this post will be about how you can maintain your current code quality level, and the easiest way to do that is to properly test it…
In my previous article, I worked on code quality in NetBeans IDE. In this article, I am using IntelliJ IDEA to improve my Java code. IDEA has plugins to support PMD and FindBugs and SonarCube but it also comes with its own static analysis capabilities. The Analyse menu gives you the option to Inspect code…
2018 is an exciting year for JDeli, our Java image library. We first created JDeli to be a better alternative to ImageIO and solve some of the problems we were finding with ImageIO and JAI (you can find more detail here). And now we have added read and write methods so that you can easily…
