Plenty of business-critical applications still run on Java 8. @RichardFichtner & Mark Stoodley @mstoodle, IBM's Chief Architect for Java, walk the path to Java 21 with IBM Bob and IBM Semeru Runtimes.
Java 8 is still everywhere. That's why this session exists.

XDEV is coming to 🇺🇸 #IBMTechXchange
Enterprise Java is rarely greenfield. @RichardFichtner & Markus Eisele (@myfear) show how IBM Bob and the Quarkus Dev MCP keep AI-assisted work maintainable – demoed live on a production codebase.
Bring your own legacy code questions!

A single #Java library ends up inside a hospital platform, a French university's e-signature system, and a load-testing tool. Not through overlap in purpose – just one well-built component doing one job wherever it's needed. 📊

Do modern web apps really need a huge stack?
At @JavaOne, XDEV explores a different approach: building enterprise-ready UI and persistence mostly with Java using @vaadin & #EclipseStore.
📅 Drop by the Hack Haus (Mar 17, 3:00 PM PDT) & challenge the idea of “full stack”.

Not everything at XDEV revolves around Java & deployments. 🎲🧙 Sometimes it’s dice, #DnD character sheets, and a Leshy adventuring party tracking missing allies.
Four hours of roleplay, strategy, snacks, and pizza.🍕 Nerd culture isn’t staged here — it’s part of who we are. 🤝
