I'm setting up a personal project using Java and Spring Boot, and I have a lot of questions about how to approach the DB layer.

I'm mostly comparing JOOQ and Querydsl right now. I really don't want to be writing SQL strings in my code. I'd like to lean on whatever the established spring choices are rather than do something completely off-road, but this is beaten by the caveat about not wanting SQL strings in my code.

I'm planning on using SQLite as the DB (this is for a single-user app that will be running locally.) If anyone has suggestions on how to properly manage the DB schema and migrations that would be much appreciated as well.

If anyone can give me any pointers on choosing and using a technology here that would be great!

For context: I'm a Node.js dev switching to Java. I am brand new to JDBC/JDBI/JPA/Hibernate/all of the other stuff that I'm just reading about today.

It’s been a busy week in the #Java ecosystem!

Highlights include:
➤ The GA release of TornadoVM 5.0; point releases of JHipster, Keycloak and Google ADK; maintenance releases of GraalVM Native Build Tools and Micronaut; the OmniFish Build of Payara and introducing Vidocq, a new implementation of the Jakarta EE 11 Core Profile and MicroProfile 7.1.

@john Hi, I’m not sure if you saw @mehmandarov’s article posted just a little while before your question:

https://mastodon.social/@mehmandarov/116792525382514461#

He describes Jackson as “strict” and other JSON libraries as “lenient”. Why is Jackson strict? I don’t know the actual reason but I have a plausible guess: an “extra” but unknown property might change the interpretation of one of the known properties.

#Java #Jackson (1/2)

There's a whole host of autoformatters for #Java. Which one do I want, assuming that I:

- Have astigmatism and greatly prefer 4 space indents
- Will probably use tons of lambdas and pattern matching
- Am otherwise okay with "good enough" and don't really care about the stylistic details
- Never want anything by Palantir to touch my machine ever

?

For those who live or have lived (like me up till 2020) in JavaLand, this will be a stimulating read: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/project-valhalla-explained-how-decade-work-arrives-jdk-skowroński-paulf/ (tl;dr: Java value classes)

When I was a Java-head, I mostly hated all the new Java features because to a one, they made it less readable. I think this mostly won’t? Can’t wait to hear reports back from people who try applying it to big codebases.
