maxandersen··on JavaScript for Shell Scripting
Proper type safe Java scripts are nice too :)

https://jbang.dev

maxandersen··on Java Is Underhyped
For All those who feel Ibstall of java, using maven/gradle and all the Other ceremony about java is too much give a try to https://jbang.dev.

Setup jbang and install java if needed:

curl -Ls https://sh.jbang.dev | bash -s - app setup jbang

Create a java file that has dependency on picocli and just runs:

jbang init -t cli hello.java

Run it: ./hello.java

Edit it in vscodium with live fetching of dependencies(you can use your own ide too): jbang edit --open --live hello.java

maxandersen··on Distribution of JVM Desktop Applications
try out jbang.dev - will download and install JDK for your .jar, .java or even .jsh as long as its available via http, git or maven repository.

(yes, I'm author of jbang.dev)

maxandersen··on Upptime – GitHub-powered open-source uptime monitor and status page
From GitHub usage policy:

“ (for example, don't use Actions as a content delivery network or as part of a serverless application, but a low benefit Action could be ok if it’s also low burden); or”

I think this would qualify as serverless application...

maxandersen··on RedHat Mandrel Makes Java Native
Not a solved problem.

nailgun doesn't solve it generally.

leyden is not released yet; its proposal into JDK future is validation of the approaches projects like GraalVM/Mandrel and Quarkus are doing.

maxandersen··on Red Hat OpenShift.io – Free, end-to-end, cloud-native development
disclaimer: I work on openshift.io, and there will be much more coming out as summit goes on so I can't refer to more than in current news:

From https://www.redhat.com/en/about/press-releases/red-hat-unvei...

  Team Collaboration
  Agile Planning
  Developer Workspace Management
  Application Coding and Testing
  Runtime Stack Analysis
  Continuous Integration and Delivery
thus it is more than "just" an online IDE in the traditional sense of an IDE, i.e. Eclipse Che is just one part of it.

All of it running on and targeting OpenShift.

Hope that helps.

maxandersen··on Eclipse committer on Android IDE switch to IntelliJ
"performance. for example the typical problem (i think it is a bug) when you switch between java and xml editor and you wait like 5 sec."

be sure you are not using Eclipse 4.2.0 but at least latest 4.2.2.

maxandersen··on Eclipse committer on Android IDE switch to IntelliJ
About updater/plugin mechanism in eclipse I just want to point out that is actually being fixed/improved greatly in upcoming Eclipse 4.3 (Kepler).

Eclipse update mechanism (called p2) actually at is core is very powerful and can actually find out/remedy the installation/update but it was just never exposed in the UI used by Eclipse IDE's.

Simply explained before Kepler p2 would just try and do exactly what you told it to "install these 2 plugins" and if its dependencies somehow conflicted it would give up ("could not complete operation").

In Kepler if this situation occurs p2 will try remedy the situation and try find out which plugins would need to be updated or maybe even downgraded to make it possible for you to install your plugins.

Thus we are some that actually care and do what we can to improve it - this feature got in with help from @prapicault

And for full disclosure i'm @maxandersen from the conversation OP linked to and lead of JBoss Developer Studio.
