Never forget to add GradleWrapper!

Including GradleWrapper.properties in each Gradle project follows the best practices: If you want to be sure your Gradle projects build in a year or two then make sure to always include the GradleWrapper and exactly specify the Gradle version!

Four Years in OracleLabs

Time to recap as four years ago, on May 1st, I joined OracleLabs. What has happened during last year? I had fun with collecting profiles for further optimizations. I have fixed my first CVE and make Truffle meta-secure. I turned Java into Universal language. Read more about my FourthGraalAdventures...

JDK11. OMG! Nashorn got Deprecated!

Nashorn, the so far default JavaScript engine of JDK got deprecated in JDK11. What are you going to do? Freak out? Jump out of the window? Switch to Rhino? Give up on Java completely and use NodeJS? No, use Graal.js! Here is how:

Don't hesitate and make the switch! Apache NetBeans has just switched today!

Git on Steroids: Fire Your Integration Guy!

Stefan asked who shall be responsible for integration in the MultiGitRepository setup? Should there be an integration guy? No, its 21st century and we know how to use Git, right? The right tool is called pull request!

Git on Steroids: Local Collaboration Area

Turns out that one gets very useful MultiGitRepository#Appendix_A:_Local_Collaboration_Area: the master branch in each slave repository of the MultiGitRepository setup is in fact the best place for team members to collaborate without publishing the changes to the final integration destination.

Git on Steroids: Master Multiple Repositories

Let me introduces MultiGitRepository - aka Git on steroids to you. I have seen a lot of confusion when it comes to working with multiple repositories and keeping them in orchestration, but I believe it is not that complex. Everything we learned about distributed version controls applies. However this time it has to be applied on a completely new level!

Master your MultiGitRepository in few easy lessons!

The IDE for DevOps!

Admins! DevOps! In a recent StackOverFlow developer survey the NetBeans IDE has been rated at 10.9% for Mobile Developers and 8.4% for System Admins/DevOps. It is weird, but it supports the feeling I had for a long time: NetBeans is the IDE for DevOps!

Midlife Crisis of an API Designer

I have to admit I am currently at a midlife crisis. I dedicated my last twenty years to promotion of a proper API design. I wrote TheAPIBook, I tried to propagate the principles of good APIDesign and modularity wherever I could. However I am tired...

Because it is always the same. Why do I have ask: where is your Usecase? What this method is good for? What do you actually want to achieve with this method/class/type? Have you considered the difference between APIvsSPI aspects of your design? Do you have a unit test? Is your proposed change BackwardCompatible? Do you have an evolution story for your design? Is your solution optimized for your comfort or comfort of users of your API? And so on and so on... People should read TheAPIBook before attempting to design an API, but they don't and they make the same mistakes again and again.

I got so disgust that I feel sick, physically sick, when I have to think about API design. Last weekend Toni asked me to review an API he is creating and showed me what he has. I starred at him, then at the code and at him, etc. for three minutes before I could say a word. Then I had to apologize and describe my current MidlifeCrisis.

When I look at an API these days, all I see is the wasted potential the API could have, but it doesn't and never will, because the amount of investment I would have to do to educate the API stakeholder is so huge, that I just don't want to make it.

Anyway, if you have an API that you'd like me to improve, let me know. If I see real interest in proper API design my disgust and MidlifeCrisis may go away...

Write Business Logic First, Choose UI Later!

The ControlsJS guys decided to port my MineSweeper game to their rendering technology and make it available at iOS AppStore:

This shows how extremely portable applications written with Html4Java APIs are! In fact you can write your application code first and because it is completely independent from the UI, you can completely revamp the UI later.

Isn't this the flexibility we always wanted? Read the whole story...

Run JUnit in Your (Java Plugin-less) Browser!

Bck2Brwsr 0.19 comes with many little improvements and one new feature: it can execute JUnit in the browser!

Better support for Annotation - so good that bck2brwsr can now execute JUnit tests
Support for all classes from java.util.concurrent package, so JUnit runs without problems
Switching to version 2.1.0 for RetroLambda
More robust generated JavaScript file - doesn't override already defined classes
Uses version 1.3 of Html4Java API.
Record name of an OSGi bundle to be used when Maven coordinates are missing like in JUnit case
Don't convert Date objects to current time millis
Use boolean.valueOf() to simplify mixing of boxed and unboxed booleans
Perform more conversions before returning Java value to JavaScript from a Java callback
Launcher.createBrowser can specify its own page
Make sure class cast exception contains the same message as produced by JDK
Convert undefined value read from arrays into null
Convert content of array properly before entering JavaScript
Turning the bck2brwsr VM into an OSGi bundle
Introducing vmtest.precompiled=<regexp> property to verify that bck2brwsr generated resources are really used
Don't include VM in VMTest initialization, let it be loaded on demand
System.exit terminates associated launcher
eval(JavaScriptResource) as string to prevent double obfuscation
Don't report warnings when generating minified version of bck2brwsr libraries

Get the bits from the Maven central repository!

Giving Up on Apple AppStore

My MineSweeper application available from AppStore is gone. Apple wants me to pay remedies every year! For what!? Apple has no cost distributing my application. I am giving up. If somebody wants to distribute my MineSweeper, please go on, but I am giving up - giving up on Apple.

HTML/Java API 1.3 is Released!

I'd like to announce that the new version of HTML/Java API - e.g. 1.3 is ready for usage. The javadoc is at http://bits.netbeans.org/html+java/1.3/ - and the bits has been uploaded to Maven central.

HTML/Java 1.3 comes with many improvements that will make your life easier and enlarge the options you have when mixing Java and HTML. Let me quote the Javadoc:

Model classes can have per-instance private data. Model classes can generate builder-like construction methods if builder prefix is specified. Property.mutable() can be false to define a non-mutable (almost constant) property. That in case of Knockout bindings means: the property is represented by a plain value rather than an observable in the JavaScript object. The JavaFX presenter can be executed in headless mode - just specify -Dfxpresenter.headless=true when launching its virtual machine and no window will be shown. This is particularly useful for testing. OSGi headers are now enterprise OSGi ready. Switched to minified version 3.4.0 of knockout.js. Better support for recursive @Model definitions. New module org.netbeans.html:xhr4j provides implementation of Transfer with technology identifier xhr4j - this module can be used to workaround limitations of CORS by handling the OnReceive connections in Java.

API Design under Attack!

Today my colleagues from NetBeans noticed that my website - wiki.apidesign.org is under attack. Yes, since Jan 16, 2015 there were more than 5000 randomly modified pages. Maybe my talk in Grenoble was so popular that it attracted that much attention!?

Anyway I had to revert back to older copy of the database and re-apply my edits manually. Not everything looks the same as it did before, but hopefully no texts are lost.

In any case, I disabled ability to edit the pages. If you want to talk to me, use twitter and reference my handle: @JaroslavTulach

Snowcamp in Grenoble gave Bck2Brwsr 10x Speed Up!

Bck2Brwsr version 0.17 is faster. Ten years ago nobody would imagine dynamic languages could get as good performance as they have now. The feeling that JavaScript just can't be fast is presumably present in many of our souls. The truth is, it can be relatively fast - not as fast as Java as my experiment with Sieve of Eratosthenes shows, but pretty damn fast. Certainly not an excuse to be ten times slower than HotSpot (which was the previous state of Bck2Brwsr).

The daily work on Truffle compiler team and the time I got when traveling from Snowcamp at Grenoble gave me a chance to speed Bck2Brwsr up. The sieve being a nice - e.g. small and focused - benchmark. Originally the algorithm couldn't be finished in a reasonable time when running on old version of Bck2Brwsr, but knowing what optimizing compilers seek for, it was relatively easy to speed it up ten times.

With great pleasure I announce that Bck2Brwsr, the most complete Java VM in browser (that can run Javac as shown by Dew project) has been sped up many times being at most three times slower than HotSpot. Given the primary goal of Bck2Brwsr is modularity and not speed, I consider it a good sped up even knowing there is a room to make it even faster.

Enjoy the Bck2Brwsr 0.17's speed!

MineSweeper 3.0 for Your iOS Device. The Christmas Thriller Edition!

In September 2015 I decided to update the MineSweeper on AppStore to version 3.0. With a great pleasure I can announce that now, on December 18, 2015 the version is alive! Why it took so long?

Well, Apple's itunesconnect website is unusable - it isn't enough to upload new version of your application and press button Request Review. The user interface is completely messed up and hidden to make the process as obscure as possible. As a result MineSweeper was laying on the AppStore for six weeks before I found the right address (also pretty hidden) to complain at and was explained what is wrong.

Then, of course, the usual reject. This time it was due to Using images that resemble(!) Apple logo - yes, the MineSweeper is using Safari and iOS icon (check the on-line version). But these icons were present in the previous AppStore version as well. And version 2.3 was approved! Clearly the whole review process suffers from the human factor of the reviewer. What some reviewers find appropriate isn't appropriate for others.

How can I know this is a human factor? Because the new version of the MineSweeper of iOS comes with three translations - English, Czech and German (thanks to Toni) - and I am sure the reviewers checked just the English one. If the check was automatic - e.g. some scan through the binary - my submission might have been rejected again. Thankfully it wasn't. It is great we made it before Christmas, as next week the whole AppStore team is going for a vacation...

Here are the changes against standard MineSweeper source code to make the application releasable on the AppStore this time: https://github.com/jtulach/minesweeper/compare/9fc7970496a...0d6984c73

Enjoy version 3.0 of Fair MineSweeper on AppStore. Visit https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fair-minesweeper/id903688146 to play fair!

Can Java Speed Ruby up? Yes, ten times!

Speed of Ruby has never been great. There were many attempts to improve it, but none delivered on its promise. All failed, but one! JRuby implementation running on top of JVM spiced with a bit of Truffle and Graal is in fact ten times faster than standard Ruby version.

Watch this video to see how can Java and its virtual machine help those other poor and slow languages!

HTML/Java version 1.2.1 has been Released!

Cross platform UI library called HTML/Java API (which is developed by the NetBeans project) is proud to announce that version 1.2 has just been released on Maven central. See javadoc to find out what is new in this version!

The project is also glad that binaries of the new HTML/Java version 1.2 are now included in forthcoming NetBeans 8.1 release making it easy to develop wizards as well as components and dialogs in a cross-platform manner (e.g. able to run in NetBeans platform applications, IDE, Eclipse RCP, plugin-less browser and thanks to adoption by DukeScript project also on iOS and Android).

HTML/Java API is the heart of Java that is written once, and displayed everywhere!

Design with Truffle. Get Debugger for Free!

Truffle - a modern way to write AST interpreters - gives you not only speed, but also debugger for free:

The picture shows NetBeans debugger stopped in middle of simple language (an artificial language used for demo purposes) method. NetBeans knows nothing about simple language (that is why syntax coloring is missing), but as NetBeans understands the Truffle AST, it can still provide enough valuable information in the debugger.

Please note that the name of the method is properly recognized and shown on top of the stack. Variables a and b and their values are properly shown as well.

Designing your own language? Do you want to spend time writing a debugger? If not, use Truffle and you'll get your debugger for free!

JavaOne2014: Need Speakers for My Session!

JavaOne2014 is around the corner and my sessions have been scheduled. I start with a BOF on Monday evening called Virtually Inside-Out! - it is going to be discussion between authors of alternative JVMs. So far we are two: I have mine Bck2Brwsr and Niklas has RoboVM.

Don't you know a developer working on own JVM who will be at JavaOne2014? If so, please tell him to contact me and stop by! I plan to make the BOF a lively chat (how did you implemented lambdas?, how did you implemented defender methods?), but in case we don't have a topic to talk about, I am ready to explain why value classes should not be in JVM and why InvokeDynamic is a completely stupid idea. Anyone from JDK team to defend these proposals?

On Tuesday morning Toni and me will continue with DukeScript tutorial. In case you use Java and want to learn how to code for iOS, Android, JavaFX and browsers, stop by. We will help you create your first application that is written once and displayed anywhere!

I'll finish on Tuesday noon talking about API Design checklist. I'd like to name at least ten things one should check for, but so far I have about two. Don't you have any idea what could be in such checklist? If so, please talkback!

Bck2Brwsr Revision 0.9 is Released!

Version 0.9 eliminates useless stack assignments. Instead of doing

var stI0 = lcI0;
var stI1 = lcI1;
var stI0 = stI0 + stI1;
return stI0;

the now generated code is

return lcI0 + lcI1;

which is shorter and more human readable. However I doubt the V8 virtual machine sees any benefits - I think the final native code remains the same. But at least the debugging of the generated JavaScript code is now easier - there is less Step Over invocations and it mimics more closely the original Java source.

Optimized the ahead-of-time compilation, so now the http://xelfi.cz/minesweeper/bck2brwsr/ demo starts up instantly. I had to do it, because it was so embarrassing to see TeaVM to boot the same application so quickly: The initial delay is gone, and moreover it downloads necessary libraries in parallel and on background. Now we are ready for next step: share the libraries between different applications.

Can ObfuscatePerLibrary - e.g. each JAR gets compiled ahead-of-time into its own JavaScript file, which can be shared between many applications.

Debug Mixed Java/JavaScript Applications

Before Nashorn (the JDK8 JavaScript engine) performing calls between Java and JavaScript was a pain. Especially when it came to debugging. But now, one can completely freely mix Java and JavaScript inside of a single thread and still be able to debug and inspect the slightest details of Java as well as JavaScript stack frames.

+==== [[CleanCode]] at [[OracleLabs]] ====
-The NetBeans code base contains a lot of existing JUnit3 and JUnit4 tests and we cannot rewrite them all at once. Thus Lukáš improved [[TestNG]] to support an automated mixed mode execution. That way we can slowly start writing new [[TestNG]] tests (and rewrite some of the existing) while being sure that thousands of our current tests continue to run along the [[TestNG|new generation]] ones.
+This is how we write [[CleanCode]]! At [[GeeCONPrague]] 2016 all [[OracleLabs]] speakers ware our classical outfit. The claim was that it helped us write [[CleanCode]]:

-==== [[Netbinox]] is Free! ====
+==== [[Html4Java|HTML/Java]] API 1.3 is Released! ====
-Originally I licensed the [[Netbinox#Netbinox_is_Free.21|Netbinox]] (e.g. the [[NetbinoxPerformance|fastest OSGi container]] on the planet) project under [[GPL]]. This payed off, as I knew (most of) my customers. Almost everyone who wanted to use the [[Netbinox]] needed to send me an email and ask. Either to verify usage of [[GPL]] is OK, or to ask for a different license. Only due to viral nature of [[GPL]] I was [[Talk:NetbinoxPerformance|contacted]] by members of the [[Equinox]] team to find out whether I want to donate the [[NetbinoxPerformance]] to [[Equinox]].
+I'd like to announce that the new version of HTML/Java API - e.g. 1.3 is ready for usage. The javadoc is at http://bits.netbeans.org/html+java/1.3/ - and the bits has been uploaded to [http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/netbeans/html/ Maven central].
-However since [[Netbinox]] is now used by [[JDeveloper]] and is also used by the [[Mylyn]] modules inside [[NetBeans]] 7.1, it does not make sense to keep it under [[GPL]]. It is more natural to give it the classical, liberal open source [[NetBeans]] license ([[CDDL]] or [[GPLwithClassPathException]]). Since [[NetBeans]] 7.1 you can use [[Netbinox]] together with [[NetBeans]] Platform without any licensing limitations.
+[http://bits.netbeans.org/html+java/1.3/ HTML/Java 1.3] comes with many improvements that will make your life easier and enlarge the options you have when mixing Java and HTML. Let me quote the Javadoc:
-I will loose track of those who use [[Netbinox]], but I hope to see more and more [[Netbinox]] based applications for real. Because: why would you use Equinox when [[Netbinox]] is fully [[Netbinox#The_Differences|compatible]] and much [[NetbinoxPerformance|faster]]?
+Model classes can have per-instance private data. Model classes can generate builder-like construction methods if builder prefix is specified. Property.mutable() can be false to define a non-mutable (almost constant) property. That in case of Knockout bindings means: the property is represented by a plain value rather than an observable in the JavaScript object. The JavaFX presenter can be executed in headless mode - just specify -Dfxpresenter.headless=true when launching its virtual machine and no window will be shown. This is particularly useful for testing. OSGi headers are now enterprise OSGi ready. Switched to minified version 3.4.0 of knockout.js. Better support for recursive @Model definitions. New module org.netbeans.html:xhr4j provides implementation of Transfer with technology identifier xhr4j - this module can be used to workaround limitations of CORS by handling the OnReceive connections in Java.

+==== [[API]] Design under Attack! ====
-''Are you compatible with yourself?'' that is the kind of question you have to ask when you live in environment assembled by means of [[incremental deployment]]. Because when an [[incremental deployment]] is in place, it is not enough that your code compiles at given time, it is important to verify that it also assembles fine with all previous versions! Hear the story about [[incremental deployment]] problems NetBeans 7.0.1 had.
+Today my colleagues from [[NetBeans]] noticed that my website - wiki.apidesign.org is under attack. Yes, since Jan 16, 2015 there were more than 5000 randomly modified pages. Maybe my talk in [[Bck2Brwsr 0.17|Grenoble]] was so popular that it attracted that much attention!?

-[[GeeCON]] at Krakow is great! I've just had another [[ParadoxesVideo|Paradoxes of API Design]] presentation at '''Geecon''' at Krakow. This time I had to talk for three hours. Quite a long talk for an occasional speaker like me. I knew I would need a sugar to handle that. That is why I stood in front of the entrance with [[HtmlForFood]] sign and hoped to receive some. And I did receive one candy, one apple and one mandarin. Thanks a lot for the food donation!
+[[OracleLabs]] has a team in Czech Republic and is looking for new candidates to expand it. Innovation is feeding us, but that doesn't mean you have to be a scientist. We have enough clever people - we need also somebody to work!
-As a pay back for this kind of support I decided to donate one copy of [[TheAPIBook]] to the audience. Thus I am starting yet another [[HtmlForFood]] contest. Dear [http://2011.geecon.org/ Geecon 2011] participants, write your signs, take photos, end them to ''food@apidesign.org''!

-Here is a note about my latest practical achievement. I have created an [[netbeans:File:Mirror.xml|ant script]] to clone content of any NetBeans ''catalog.xml(.gz)'' available online. It reads the list of available modules, allows you to choose the ones to mirror (using a regexp on cluster or module names), downloads them (skips the download when an NBM file with same or newer version is already available locally) and generates new ''updates.xml'' file to represent your local repository.
+Cross platform UI library called [[Html4Java|HTML/Java API]] (which is developed by the [[NetBeans]] project) is proud to announce that version 1.2 has just been released on Maven central. See [http://bits.netbeans.org/html+java/1.2/ javadoc] to find out [http://bits.netbeans.org/html+java/1.2/overview-summary.html#overview_description what is new] in this version!
-Enjoy [[netbeans:File:Mirror.xml|Mirror.xml]] script!
+The project is also glad that binaries of the new [[Html4Java|HTML/Java]] version 1.2 are now included in forthcoming [[NetBeans]] 8.1 release making it easy to develop [[netbeans:HtmlUIForTemplates|wizards]] as well as components and dialogs in a cross-platform manner (e.g. able to run in [[NetBeans]] platform applications, IDE, [[HTML|Eclipse]] RCP, plugin-less [[Bck2Brwsr|browser]] and thanks to adoption by [[DukeScript]] project also on [[iOS]] and [[Android]]).

+[[Image:TruffleDebugger.png]]
-Here is a [[Hotswap#Matisse_Example|screencast]] showing how true [[Hotswap#Matisse_Example|hotswap]] will simplify life and boost productivity of desktop application developers.
+The picture shows [[NetBeans]] debugger stopped in middle of '''simple language''' (an artificial language used for demo purposes) method. [[NetBeans]] knows nothing about '''simple language''' (that is why syntax coloring is missing), but as [[NetBeans]] understands the [[Truffle]] [[AST]], it can still provide enough valuable information in the debugger.
---[[User:JaroslavTulach|JaroslavTulach]] 08:09, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

-I received few very good comments after blogging about the ''true'' hotswap for JDK. Thus I need to slightly correct my original opinion. Not only we need ''true'' hotswap, but we need [[Javeleon|real hotswap]]! Dealing with updates of classes is just a first step.

-Let me (with a little bit of delay, as the release happened on Dec 10, 2009) describe the [[netbeans::Fitness68PressRelease|performance improvements]] we delivered as part of NetBeans 6.8. Please also note that we almost managed to provide what we [http://wiki.netbeans.org/wiki/index.php?title=Fitness68PressRelease&diff=32062&oldid=27424 originally promised] half a year ago. That is not bad.
+The [[profiles]] support is coming for [[JDK]]8. Not only it is coming, [[profiles|it works]]! In case you are searching for a small [[Java]], give [[profiles]] a try. [[Profiles|They]] are easy to start with.
-Also notice the power of [[Teamwork|working backwards]] methodology. Writing press release before starting the real work (as advocated in [[Teamwork]] chapter of [[TheAPIBook]]) provides almost perfect self perspective mirror. I guess it is time to write press release for NetBeans 6.9!

Check [[DEW]] here: http://dew.apidesign.org/dew/ and you will not regret!

+The more you fiddle with [[DEW]] and the more you alter (and save) the samples, the more we will help Java get [[Bck2Brwsr]]!
-On Dec 20, 2009 I have integrated a separation of [[Lookup]] into [[NetBeans]] sources. Now the [[Lookup]] is really free. Not only there is a free fork, but the [[Lookup]] is really free in its original form. Enjoy!

-==== Win the Practical API Design Book ====
-As part of Chapter 1, The Art of Building Modern Software I wanted to demonstrate that the need for programmers is really big and that almost everyone who wants to get a job as a programmer may get it. For this I wanted to reuse a picture of a San Francisco homeless that is famous for wearing sign with "[[HtmlForFood|Will Code HTML for Food]]". However I could not do that, because the picture is of really low quality. That is why I needed a new re-take.  We already [[HtmlForFood|have some]], but still, I'd like us to start sharing! As sharing of pictures is sometimes easier than sharing of API Design ideas,  please participate in a photo contest! Get a chance to
-win [[TheAPIBook]] by taking "Will Code HTML for Food" like picture and adding a reference to it to [[HtmlForFood]] by Aug 28, 2008! I am looking forward your [[HtmlForFood|submissions]].

-==== There is a Reason Why Every Book is Dedicated to Family ====
-I've heard this sentence at the J1 this year and I cannot get it out of my mind. Yes, family plays a really big role in the life of a writer. So please let me thank to it as well to other [[ThanksFriends|friends]].

-==== Book is never Written by a Single Person ====
-The ''Practical API Design'' book has been sent for print over the last weekend. I take it as a good opportunity to say thanks to all the people who helped me write it. The first set of [[ThanksEveryone]] notes is now available and covers those who "manually" contributed. I still need to thank to all those support "units" around me - something left for next blog entry...
