Anyone have a pointer to someone working on the #java #jdk somewhere, anywhere who might be willing to chat privately about potential DoS?

#Java peers...The feature pipeline in #Java24 is looking robust! GA date target is March 18, 2025 (Hmm, same time as #JavaOne!). Follow along at: https://openjdk.org/projects/jdk/24/

My awesome, former colleague @javawithjiva is hiring for #Apple’s #JDK team. This is a great opportunity for #Java & #JVM folks in the #UK!

I can’t recommend working with Azeem and his team enough!

#Java developers and heavy users often unpack a JVM tarball somewhere (e.g. /opt) and do not need nor wish to install a Java package and its own dependencies from the repository, only to satisfy another packages depending on it.

This tiny deb simply declares that #JDK is available to the system, allowing you to install other packages that need Java.

I hope it can be useful! Please let me know.

Who can help or report this bug to the OpenJDK bugtracker?

By way of #introduction: I’m the Chief Architect of the Java Platform Group at Oracle. I’ve worked on every #Java / #JDK release since version 1.1, in 1997. You can blame me for character-stream readers/writers, reference objects, shutdown hooks, the NIO high-performance I/O APIs, service loaders, and modules. I currently lead the #Leyden and JDK Projects in the #OpenJDK Community, where I also serve on the Governing Board.

I’m also a Twitter refugee, now exploring the Fediverse via @ivory.

So, how hard or easy would it be to create a #Linux #AppImage with #ThonnyIDE (that comes with #Python already) with the #JDK and #py5 preinstalled (much like what I made for Windows using "portable" Thonny)?
