InfoQ Java Trends Report [This report]( provides a summary of how the InfoQ Java editorial team currently sees the adoption of technology and emerging trends within the Java space. Key takeaways: - Java Virtual Threads was finalized in the recently released JDK 21, and we believe that adoption of this feature will continue to grow as the latest edition of application frameworks, such as Helidon Níma and Vert.x, have already taken advantage of this. - Oracle has made a commitment to evolve the Java language so that students and beginners can more easily learn to write their first "Hello, world!" applications without the need to understand more complex features of the language. - Project Galahad, launched late last year, continues to aim to contribute Java-related GraalVM technologies to the OpenJDK Community and prepare them for possible incubation in a JDK mainline release. - There is increasing community interest in learning about modern microservice frameworks, such as Spring Boot, Quarkus, and Jakarta EE. The Spring Modulith project is now an official Spring project and allows the creation of better monoliths instead of microservices. - Since the release of Java 17, we've noticed faster adoption of newer Java versions than we did when Java 11 was released. - We see increasing development and application of Generative AI in the Java space, especially for code generation. We also see more development of SDKs or frameworks for AI and ML with Java, like Semantic Kernel, Deeplearning4J, djl, and Tribuo.
