The @devoxx.com conference was a great experience again. Talked to many devs about evolutions in #OpenJDK together with my @azulsystems.bsky.social and @bejug.bsky.social colleagues, and presented new #Pi4J with FFM API.

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.

Looking forward to #Devoxx Belgium next week. Excellent speakers/sessions, and great atmosphere.
I'm more than happy to do interviews about Java/JavaFX on Mobile and explain github.com/openjdk-mobile so ping me if interested. (also happy to chat about quantum computing, javafx, science, cycling...)

This was fun, and I learned a lot from @tahvonen.fi again on how to improve a two-year-old #Vaadin + #SpringBoot + #Pi4J application. Links to the code and a recording of the live stream + extra demo video are available on my blog: webtechie.be/post/2025-09...

We hacked with @frankdelporte.be with @raspberrypi.com and Java earlier today. Not completely without demo issues naturally: you can upgrade to Java 25, but don't accept all suggestions by IntelliJ yet, it was Spring Boot not finding out main method anymore 🤓
