Things moving faster and faster i Java nowadays. Soon we will get Jakarta EE 9.1 (Q2-2021) with support for Java 11 (latest LTS release). 

Later next year Jakarta EE 10 plan to be released about Q2-2022. Read more about this in this excellent article Java for the enterprise: What to expect in Jakarta EE 10 by Arjan Tijms.

In standard Java is also moving on, Java 16 is already released and Java 17 will be next long-term support (LTS) release, planed for Q3-202.

What about products support för Jakarta EE 9, of course it take time for products to support new releases but anyway we already have these compatible products för Jakarta EE 9.

Celebrate the release of Jakarta EE 9

Today I am celebrate the release of Jakarta EE 9! What a great day! wow!

There is also a Jakartaone livestream event about Jakarta EE today, join here !

Java 15 & Jakarta EE9

This week I join an online session about the upcoming release of Jakarta EE 9 (release date is 20 November). It is very interesting as I understand the transition  from Java EE  to Jakarta EE will be done then.

My understanding is that Jakarta EE 9 don't have any new functionality compared with Java EE8.  

Jakarta EE 10 will be that release with more functionality, I think it is planed to be released in Q3 2021.

But at this session I got the information that there will first be a Jakarta EE 9.1 release with support for Java 11.

Earlier in September I join the "Oracle Developer live-Java" session about the release of Java 15 (is a short-term release), nowadays there is a new release every 6 months. This is very good! Is is possible to watch the replays about Oracle Developer Live-Java,

Java 17 will be very interesting release because this release is a LTS release (with long time support). Today Java 11 is the latest LTS version.

Later in december there will be a Jakartaone livestream about Jakarta EE 9, I will surely join it!

I think now Java have a very bright future!

My Workflow with photos using my iPad Pro and my Mac Pro

This workflow I started to use some years ago, I use especially for my private photos on vacations or when I am out traveling in my work. I only bring my camera and my Ipad Pro, no Mac book Pro or extra NAS or disk.

My workflow:

1. First I import my photos into lightroom on my Ipad Pro. 
2. I start editing my photos & adding star rating for each photos on my iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil, this is very nice!
3. Later when I have wifi I sync my photos up to the Adobe Cloud and therefor also get a backup copy in the cloud.
4. Later when I am home at my office, my Mac Pro running lightroom classic get all photos automatic from the Adobe cloud, I have configure it to store all photos on my disk as I normally do e.g. "disk/photos/2020/10-15 and a good name".

This have improve my life a lot as I am able to editing my photos on site and adding star rating for each photos, later at home I have everything I did on my Ipad Pro also on my Mac Pro automatic and I can go on and do some more work with my photos.

Normally in my studio I am not using this workflow as it take too long time. Instead I the use my Mac Pro and lightroom classic and skip to use the ipad Pro.

Upgrade to the new version of Google Sites

I have now upgraded my company home pages www.ojn.se to the the new Google Sites. It was really time to do something anyway, last time I did an update was 2013!
