schmonz.com is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
@xilerk Good catch! This command did the trick:
$ mvn -D versions.outputLineWidth=${COLUMNS} versions:display-dependency-updates
Of course, ${COLUMS} could be set to some arbitrary huge value to help better ensure single line per dependency.
Thanks a bunch for the suggestion! :-)
This is not easily parsed by machines (or even humans). Some version numbers are on the same line, others are on a separate line.
There's extraneous and unneeded info.
And there's no way to influence the appearance of the output. For example, the ps command as the -w flag to explicitly set wide text output mode.
My Java Modules with @ASFMavenProject (4) series continues!
Cleanly separate API and implementation in Java modules — and why mixing both is a common antipattern.

EqualsVerifier 4.4.2 is out! It's a bugfix release that improves the layout of error messages, fixes a small bug with Kotlin lazy fields, and fixes two other minor issues.
Check it out: https://github.com/jqno/equalsverifier/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md
Another stream, another set of notes. So much "new"!
I try out a new design for Projectors, splitting EventConsumer into two pieces. Test-driving shows how it's about design exploration, not just writing tests.

I love working with #Java.
I wanted to upgrade the app runtime from 17 to 21 - all I needed to do was install the new runtime, change the java.version property to 21, rebuild, and deploy.
And that is all - everything is working perfectly 😍
Notes from my #Java #EventSourcing work, where I looked at event consumers that only get events they're interested in.
Struggled with Java's MethodHandle (docs could be better!), but otherwise works well.
Thoughts about Projector design.

Happy reading, and have a lovely #Java weekend!
I wrote an article for JAVAPRO about the Foreign Function and Memory (FFM) API, added in #Java 22, and how it got used to add a new and better plugin to @pi4j

Build your own #JCON experience! #JCON2026 (Apr 20–23, Cologne) is all about flexibility: create your personal schedule, meet #JavaChampions, join hands-on #Workshops & explore real-world #AI in #Java.
💡 Free tickets available — details in the article: https://javapro.io/2026/03/31/architect-your-own-experience-creating-your-individual-jcon-2026-journey/
People keep asking me about these badges…
especially the ribbons.
Yes, there’s a bit of “catch ’em all” 😄
But they actually do something simple: they start conversations.
You see a topic → you talk → something interesting happens.
That’s the real value of in-person conferences.
That’s what JCON EUROPE 2026 is about.

This was all triggered by new functionality that I want to add: the ability to set a date/time when concert tickets go on sale that is separate from when the concert was scheduled (entered into the system).

Want some Technical Coaching or a #Java Talk (Event-Sourcing, Testing)?
I'm looking to do meetup/user group presentations or technical coaching the week of April 27, and in June so I don't have to fly all the way back home, just to fly back again a soon after.
I love #Java generics (when I get them right, which can take me a while!) and find varargs really useful when refactoring, but they do NOT play well together. Ugh. Guess I'll create an overloaded method to take a List<T> instead.
On my #Java stream last week, I had some frustration with Avro for event payload serialization and decided that JSON was just fine (in terms of performance).
I had thoughts about Projections as Caches and a question around IDs being required in events.

#Lisp people, do you have a preference for the name 'hashtable' or 'hashmap'? In #Java, there's an actual semantic difference, since Java HashTable is not thread safe while Java HashMap is.
I am building things which are thread safe. My inclination is to call them 'hashtables', but is this now old fashioned and should 'hashmap' be preferred?
If so, please give reasons.
What can 30 years of #Java teach us about the future? How do you scale #AI responsibly? Why is code the easy part?
See #JCON2026 Keynotes with @Sharat_Chander / @Oracle, @myfear / @IBM, @MarkusKett / @Cyrock.AI & Johann Strauss / @dell & why they matter: https://javapro.io/2026/03/26/the-inconvenient-truth-about-code-30-years-of-java-sovereign-ai-the-keynotes-of-jcon2026/

More live coding #Java and #EventSourcing:
I dealt with "external" and "parameter" validation (I didn't implement the third type: "internal" validation) of scheduling conflicts for Concerts.
I also pondered minimal consistency boundaries.

Back to streaming, with notes from yesterday's stream: https://ted.dev/articles/2026/03/23/live-coding-journal-mar-23-2026/
I chatted about consistency boundaries, missing-event heuristics, and encoding (serializing) events.
