Foojay Podcast #36: J-Fall Report, Part 3
One conference day at J-Fall produces more good conversations than a single podcast episode can hold. That is why this third installment exists. We grabbed a quiet corner with seven speakers and attendees and asked them what they care about right now. The guests in this round are Ixchel Ruiz, Maarten Mulders, Jamie Coleman, Gerrit Grunwald, Anthony Goubard, Gijs Leussink, and Simon Martinelli, in Foojay Podcast #36.
What we talked about
- Maven, Gradle, and modern build tooling
- GitHub Actions for Java projects
- Contributing to open source projects
- Maven repository management
- Java and security
- JavaFX, Swing, and desktop applications
- HTMX and Thymeleaf for server-driven UIs
- Micronaut, JOOQ, Hibernate, and Vaadin
- Advice for new JUG speakers
What stood out
The mix of topics shows how broad the Java ecosystem still is. Desktop developers, web framework users, build tool maintainers, and security folks all share the same hallway at J-Fall. Each guest brings a different angle on the same platform.
