  1. Java EE 8 News
  2. Discussion around http://microprofile.io (http://www.adam-bien.com/roller/abien/entry/the_enterprise_java_future_is)

Questions from anonymous:

  1. Java EE status – during my studies, I utilized Java EE 6 for creating distributed system to monitor IT infrastructure. Now is 2016 and situation of Java EE is not in bright colors – Oracle reluctant to invest in Java EE standard, concern expressed in formation of “Java EE Guardians” that you are part of. I learned much from it and gave me ability to think “at scale”, distributed manner. But recent developments around standard, started my evaluation - if Java EE is worth pursuing in long term.
  2. Java EE Backend Development – I find great joy in creating backend software – RESTful web services in JAX-RS or Restlet, business logic or database integration using ORM (JPA or Hibernate). Not mentioning Big Data “movement” with Apache Hadoop and Spark frameworks. But Java EE offers I was looking up, almost always require Angular or other JS libraries. More and more employers require “Full-stack” engineers. Is simply market for specialized backend engineers is shrinking and should I adapt to it or is it simply reality of software development – backend can be reused and GUI trends (Desktop or Web) change all the time ? 

  3. Java and JavaScript – In my projects, I always used statically typed languages – benefit for compile time checks (C/C++ or Java/C#) is undisputed. What would be your advice for Java engineer in regard to JavaScript ? Unavoidable future or majority of development but not all ?
  4. Thoughts on Golang ?
  5. ForkJoin and Java EE 8

hello Adam, About Monitoring Java EE, it is possible do use wildfly in the same way as you used on glassfish (like in your project lightfish). if it is not, can you talk about the diferences.
