Man, I love Agentic AI for dealing with Maven projects.

The combination of convention over configuration, well structured and documented XML files, decades of history, and LLMs, make Agentic AI the perfect tool for maintaining Maven pom.xml files.

I can now run HelloFX on an iPhone. This required only really minor changes to OpenJFX and OpenJDK, and I'll update github.com/openjdk-mobi... as soon as I find some time. Most of the work (> 99%) went into understanding the tons of options in XCode.

"Cool, you should put that on your resume."

var name = IO.readln("What is your name? ");
IO.println("Hello, " + name);
}

$ java App.java
What is your name? Bruno

Worry less about which model to use.

Let VS Code and GitHub Copilot choose for you.

Bruno Borges @brunoborges.bsky.social · Sep 13

IMO a production Java container should ever run a single JVM. This means other JDK tools should not be used.

If the intent is to run some commands for troubleshooting, then yes this should be carefully unset for a given debugging shell.

Bruno Borges @brunoborges.bsky.social · Sep 13

What is the concern with wanting to unset?

Bruno Borges @brunoborges.bsky.social · Sep 13

I still don't get the problem you are raising

Bruno Borges @brunoborges.bsky.social · Sep 13

You can override when running the container.

Bruno Borges @brunoborges.bsky.social · Sep 12

This is true, but it wouldn't firmly answer the question "are we running log4j in production?"
