This is a bad day for quarkus-junit4-mock - a module with some empty JUnit4 classes to allow Testcontainers to run without needing to include JUnit4 on the class path.

... and a great day for all users of #Testcontainers 🥳🎉🎊

Those Dependabot/Renovate pull requests could be fake. You should always review the changes before merging them.

I got nerd-sniped over the weekend.

Made a java-fmt tool that in addition to make it super easy to format java code, is fast and work from anywhere - it also don't mess with jbang directives.

Kontext:
- Irland hat (mit Luxemburg) praktisch alle großen Zentralen von #BigTech-Unternehmen
- Das Land hat gesamt nur ca 200 Richter. Fälle kosten schnell €100.00+, in meinem Fall bis zu €10 Mio an Prozessriksio.
- Praktisch gilt EU-Recht hier nur am Papier. Real durchsetzbar ist es nicht.. 😐

I needed to set up Keycloak programmatically for my tests and couldn't find a clear guide, so I wrote one!
This is a quick, step-by-step tutorial showing how to take full control of Keycloak in your @quarkus.io integration tests. Hope it helps you too!

I have created a thing with #Java that I needed for #Maven and #GraalVM so that I can provide fat-jars (needed for tools that don't do dependency management) that don't behave different in #NativeImage than our normal distributions:

Maybe this is helpful for others, too.

spend waaay too long on realizing that for the new maven central deploy the "token" you generate is not the token you use...there are *two* steps to do.

Step 1 is generate username and password
Step 2 is the *actual* token

RIP Java Applets. You made Java popular and helped it grow to what it is today.

JEP 504: Remove the Applet API has been proposed to target (openjdk.org/jeps/504), so there will be no more applets with the next JDK (JDK 26).
