Release Your (Java) Projects Like OpenJDK With Tip & Tail - Inside Java Newscast #79

"Tip & tail is a release model for software libraries that gives application developers a better experience while helping library developers innovate faster. The _tip_ release of a library contains new features and bug fixes, while _tail_ releases contain only critical bug fixes. As little as possible is backported from the tip to the tails."

Thanks! One question: so if there is a security fix which affects all tip releases so for example, JDK 23, 22 .. 17, should we create a tip release for all of them - JDK 23.0.1 JDK 22.0.1 ... JDK 17.0.1?

So, how will I know dependency is a release with tail paradigm.

Java isn't able to correcly create a TrayIcon in Linux because it uses a 20+ years old API. Notifications in Windows are broken because they use a 20+ years old API. Is there any interest in making Java a language usable for projects that has a UI?

Thanks so much for the great videos and sharing your knowledge.

If I could offer one piece of advice, try speak a bit slower, you talk a bit too fast and as such your points blur into one another making it hard to pinpoint critical statements.

Thanks again!

And ending up like JDK 8? Naaah, nah thanks
