On Foojay: @frankdelporte.be explains how Sheetmusic4J 0.0.5 adds LilyPond import and export. Load a .ly file and render it natively in JavaFX, or save any score as LilyPond for a PDF. It also brings engraving improvements like nested tuplets. foojay.io/today/sheetm... #Java #JavaFX

🏗️ JEP 543 integrated to JDK 28 Title: Structured Concurrency Type: feature Component: core Release: 28 See openjdk.org/jeps/543

@maven.apache.org's Javadoc plugin adds `--no-fonts` by default. To add the fonts, you would need to disable that by setting `disableNoFonts` to `true`. I admit that reading this is a bit convoluted, but at least the default keeps your Javadoc archives small!

Dear friends who don't speak German: Go to YouTube ASAP, turn on subtitles → autogenerated translation and watch this video! TL;DR: #WSocial is posting legal names, nationalities and approx. birthdays of verified users as a public record on the Atmosphere. Confronted, they claim it's "by design" 🤯

I often see people argue that clean energy is not reducing emissions, because it just adds to rather than replaces fossil fuels. This argument is deeply misguided – clean energy built since 2005 has displaced 23 billion tons. I dive in over at The Climate Brink:

Apache Shiro 3.0.1 is now available for download: buff.ly/qeVwxy9 Shiro is a powerful and easy-to-use Java security framework that performs authentication, authorization, cryptography, and session management. Release notes: buff.ly/KnHxn2v

I went with EUPLv1.2 for betterbranch because it closes the SaaS loophole and embraces software interoperability. What drives your choice when licensing your Java tools - strict copyleft, permissive, or just whatever the project template defaults to?

Did you know that betterbranch is EUPLv1.2-licensed? If you are building Java CLI tools or want a Git metadata helper that embraces modern European copyleft - complete with network-distribution coverage and solid legal interoperability - check it out. Built on JGit! github.com/bmarwell/bet...

My project 'jfmt' already got packaged for NixOS! Wow! britter.dev/blog/2026/05... Some more shares of jfmt and BetterBranch and even MCS (@maartenvsmeden.bsky.social inspired me to create native CLI tools using Java!): blog.bmarwell.de/2026/08/09/j...

If anyone knows why Google deindexed my blog... I don't, hints are highly appreciated 🙏🏻

BetterBranch: a tiny, but useful git helper. Written in #Java, compiled to native via #GraalVM, archive creation and distribution via #JReleaser! 🚀 blog.bmarwell.de/2026/08/05/b... First blog post in a while! 😀

Ahead of the Java 27 release on September 15, I’ve put together an overview repository covering all 9 JEPs, notable non-JEP changes, and runnable code examples. You can find the full breakdown and code here: github.com/SimonVerhoev... #Java27 #OpenJDK

We reviewed actions/setup-java released versions v1–v5 and main, against today’s Keyv/Cacheable npm supply-chain attack. No compromised versions or known IOCs were found in the lockfiles or shipped bundles. This is a point-in-time assessment: github.com/actions/setu...

Im besten Fall sinken die Steuereinnahmen 2028 dann wieder, wenn die Hersteller reagieren und die Rezepturen anpassen. Denn das ist ja der eigentliche Sinn der Sache. So oder so – es ist eine gute Nachricht, dass die #Zuckersteuer kommt!

Look what's trending! The best build tool!!

Ich kann das auch nicht mehr! ☹️ Es ist so wahr was @zoegruene.bsky.social schreibt!

Das schlimmste an der #Rentenreform ist gar nicht einmal, dass sie im Kapitalmarkt investiert. Das schlimmste ist, dass sie 30-40 Jahre zu spät kommt. Das Umlagesystem war eine Notlösung, weil der 1. WK die Rentenkassen geplündert hat. Das ging eine Zeit lang ganz gut.

Keine riesige Menge an telefonischen Krankschreibungen, Sanktionen führen auch nicht zu mehr Arbeit. Schön, Zahlen dafür zu haben! --- Ob das Kabinett Merz davon weiß? /s

The junit-framework repository now has an official mirror on Codeberg and is open for contributions! 👉 codeberg.org/junit-team/j... To support Codeberg's mission of providing a free and open source collaboration platform, JUnit has joined Codeberg e.V. as a member.

The road to turning #ATProtocol links into valid URLs is a lot longer than I realised bnewbold.leaflet.pub/3mph4hzvbdc2v

Day two as a fresh @maven.apache.org committer, I shipped a broken integration test — and saw a row of green checks that meant nothing. It ran nowhere at review; two committers caught it in hours. https://maven.aschemann.net/blog/2026/06/25/the-newbies-fault/ #Maven #ApacheMaven #CI

Meanwhile in Germany: Deutsche Bahn (Railway Company) says: It's too hot! Don't use our services! We don't trust our ACs either! OR as we say in Germany: an unforeseeable natural disaster.

Hmmm... yay -S ibm-bob-bin Eager to see what it can do!

Quick #jfmt PR grabs: github.com/bmarwell/jfm... If you like to help out..? Probably just adding some json config or running the java distribution once more often with different files.
