Recorded at SpringOne Platform 2016. Speaker: Simon Ritter, Azul Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/SpringCentral/jdk8-lessons-learnt-with-lambdas-and-streams

Lambda expressions and the streams API add a more functional style of programming to Java; something developers have not really had in the past.

This session will start with a short summary of the key features of both Lambda expressions and streams before moving on to some real world examples of how to use them effectively, including a number of lessons learnt from trying to apply an imperative style of programming when it should have…

Spring Cloud Spinnaker 1.0.0.M3

Engineering | Greg L. Turnquist | December 19, 2016 | ...

Greetings Spring community,

I am happy to release the second milestone for Spring Cloud Spinnaker. Spring Cloud Spinnaker bundles up the continuous delivery Spinnaker platform, and provides a 1-click installer to let you install it to any certified Cloud Foundry provider.

UPDATE: This blog post originally cited M2, however one of our early adopters spotted a critical bug, so M3 has been built and released with the fix in hand.

Key features included in this release:

  • Much more simplified way to login, select your org and space from dropdowns, etc., shooting for as simple an experience as possible.

  • Ability to manage two CF spaces

  • Support for Jenkins and Travis CI monitoring.

  • Configure email and slack notifications

  • Move to hosted uber JARs, meaning installing the installer is no longer a bugbear

  • Other enhancements regarding to Spinnaker itself include ability to clone server groups, an upgrade to our Reactor-based cf-java-client 2 library, and also enhance UX showing more CF information than ever.

Dependency Management Plugin 1.0.0.RC1

Releases | Andy Wilkinson | December 16, 2016 | ...

It's my pleasure to announce that 1.0.0.RC1 of the Dependency Management Plugin has been released. It's available from Gradle's Plugin Portal as well as Maven Central and Bintray.

What's new?

The plugin's been rewritten in Java and its API has been formalised. A clear separation between that API and the plugin's internals has been introduced. This has required a few breaking changes but you are unlikely to be affected if you were using the Groovy DSL.

Converting to Java and formalising the API has also enabled a couple of enhancements:

### Official support for Gradle 3

Previously, the plugin was written in Groovy and attempted to support Gradle 1, 2, and 3. This proved to be overly ambitious. The two main problems were binary incompatibilities across the three different Groovy runtimes (1.8, 2.3, and 2.4) and breaking changes across the three versions of Gradle. To address these, the Gradle team's recommendation was to rewrite the plugin in Java and to drop support for Gradle 1.x. This release does just that, with the plugin's main code now being 100% Java and Gradle 2.9 now being the minimum supported version. As a result, Gradle 3.x is now officially supported and it should be easier to support new versions of…

Reactor Kafka 1.0.0.M1 released

Releases | Rajini Sivaram | December 15, 2016 | ...

We are pleased to announce the release of the first milestone of Reactor Kafka 1.0.0.

What is Reactor Kafka?

Reactor Kafka is a reactive API for Apache Kafka based on Project Reactor. Reactor Kafka API enables messages to be published to Kafka topics and consumed from Kafka topics using functional APIs with non-blocking back-pressure and very low overheads. This enables applications using Reactor to use Kafka as a message bus or streaming platform and integrate with other systems to provide an end-to-end reactive pipeline.

The value proposition for Reactor Kafka is the efficient utilization of…

This Week in Spring - December 13th, 2016

Engineering | Josh Long | December 13, 2016 | ...

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This year has flown so quickly by! Can you believe we're less than 19 days until 2017? I'm utterly stunned. I suppose I shouldn't be, though, given the breakneck speed of progress and new software releases from the Spring team and the community. What a good problem to have!

This week, after returning from Australia early Sunday morning, I hacked with my buddy Josh McKenty, I spoke with my buddy Baruch at the San Francisco Java User Group on Monday, will speak with my buddy Matt Raible at the Denver Java User Group on Wednesday (don't miss it!), and will speak in Saint Louis on Thursday and Hartford on Friday. It's going to be a fun week and if you're around, don't hesitate to say hi
