This blog post describes in details what happens when executing a Java application. After reading this post, you will understand the execution lifecycle of a Java application and the activities performed by the JVM during the execution phase.
The existence of dynamic features built in the language allows Java developers to transform their program executions at runtime dynamically. However, these features in most Java programs are a fundamental problem for static analysis tools that rely on precise call-graph construction. Notably, the GraalVM compiler relies on points-to analysis to perform AOT compilation. This blog post covers the main dynamic features of Java and the reasons why they are still a long-standing issue for researchers and practitioners in program analysis.
This blog post explains Inversion of Control and Dependency Injection in Java. These concepts are the backbone of modern enterprise Java frameworks.
AOT compilation, supported by the GraalVM compiler, seems to be the future for Java and the programming languages that compile to JVM bytecode. But what is the difference between compiling source code using a JIT compiler w.r.t using an AOT compiler? This post explains the difference between these two approaches.
The concepts of encoding, encryption, hashing, and obfuscation are often mistakenly confused or taken as similar (which is even worse). Let's clarify this matter and see some Java code examples of practical applications.
If you are a Java developer, you need to know about the Fork/Join framework. It simplifies parallel programming, hence helping you to forget about manually tweaking your threads.
The BlockingQueue data structure can be used to implement Producer-Consumer pattern. In this guide I explain how.
This tutorial is a step-by-step guide to deploy a software artifact to the Maven Central repository.
