Enjoy browsing the docs of the new standard library version conveniently with all the features APIdia has to offer!
And of course, big congrats to the OpenJDK team for shipping yet another marvelous Java release!
I'm proud to present a new JavaFX library: Lottie4J, that brings Lottie animations to JavaFX applications. I first learned about Lottie many years ago when we were developing a mobile app. We used Lottie animations to explain to users how to operate a physical device. The animations made the instructions so much clearer than static…...

Reactive Java is well suited to modern streaming, event driven applications. In this article, we'll walk through an example of such an application using Reactive Java with MongoDB. Specifically, we're going to cover:Why Reactive Java was introduced and how it differs from more traditional Java programming.Details of some of the key elements of Reactive Java - Mono, Flux and flatMap.A walk through of a sample application, comparing a Reactive version of the code using the Reactive Streams MongoDB driver, with a more traditional version of the code using the synchronous MongoDB driver.

A new paper titled "Does My README File Need To Be Updated? Exploring LLM-Based README Maintenance" was just published.
The paper talks about the importance of having an up to-date readme and contribution guide and whether AI tools can assist with this.

The README file serves as a critical source of information for gaining an overview and helping developers onboard to an Open Source Software (OSS) project. Yet, documentation issues persist; in particular, ``outdated'' documentation is perceived by developers as one of the most frequent and severe challenges with gaining project understanding. While previous studies have aimed to mitigate this problem, they typically either rely on highly-engineered solutions focused on specific code components or employ generative methods that are ineffective for incremental maintenance. In this study, we propose a lightweight Large Language Model (LLM)-driven approach to facilitate precise, localised README file updates within a human-in-the-loop workflow. Specifically, given a pull request (PR), our pipeline determines whether an update is necessary; if so, it identifies the precise locations where updates should be applied and provides a justification based on the triggering events. Our evaluation on 27,772 PRs across 714 popular repositories demonstrates high precision and utility. Furthermore, we performed a qualitative failure case analysis to provide deeper insights and directions for improvement. We also conducted a retrospective study on 20 sampled repositories, complemented by a case study with a developer of a large OSS project. These evaluations demonstrate that the tool effectively identifies overlooked PRs requiring README updates, thereby helping to mitigate the risk of outdated documentation. Finally, we provide concrete implications for practitioners and researchers, highlighting the need to further explore effective interaction patterns to incorporate documentation update tools into the OSS development workflow.
Thanks @APIdia for generating clear JavaDocs for Lottie4J!

If you are looking for a #JavaFX community away from Reddit, please upvote this:
Community for JavaFX
JavaFX is the modern successor to Swing for GUI development in Java/JVM, and it needs a home on Lemmy. Will it ever be a big community? No. But on r/JavaFX there are several new posts each week. Many of the posts on r/JavaFX are questions that aren’t suitable for StackOverflow.com [http://StackOverflow.com] as they are too general or theoretical for that site. But they are perfect for a discussion forum, and the JavaFX community needs something like that. I’m sure that any JavaFX Lemmy community will be linked from JFX-Central and the other more static resources on the web.
JFX Central (https://www.jfx-central.com/), the website and desktop app to find all the info, tools, libraries, books, videos, and much more about #JavaFX, got a completely new user interface. I wrote about it and interviewed some of the team members.

The first release of #Lottie4J, a new Java(FX) library, is now available on #Maven Central. With this library, you can load and parse LottieFiles animations as #Java objects, and integrate them as a #JavaFX animation component in your application.
