Foojay Podcast 83: OpenJDK Evolutions plus Tips and Tricks

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 06:07:00 +0000

Welcome to another episode of the Foojay Podcast! Just like in the previous episode, I bring you conversations from two of Europe’s premier Java conferences - Devoxx in Belgium and JFall in the Netherlands.

At these conferences, I had the opportunity to speak with members of the Java community about topics ranging from the evolution of Java itself to mobile development, performance optimization, and even automotive security.

My first guest is Johan Vos, a Java Champion who takes us on a journey through Java’s history - from porting Java to Linux in 1995 to his current work on bringing Java and JavaFX to mobile and embedded devices through the Java On Mobile project.

Foojay Podcast #60: Proud Of Belgium - Devoxx, JobRunr, Timefold, OpenJDK Mobile, OpenJFX, Thymeleaf, htmx,...

Belgium might be tiny, but we have a strong Java Community!

As I was doing interviews at Devoxx in October, I met several of these people, and we talked about their projects, how you can get involved in OpenJDK, and maybe even start a company out of it.

This podcast will teach you more about Devoxx, VoxxedDays, Devoxx4Kids, JobRunr, Timefold, OpenJDK Mobile, OpenJFX, Thymelead, htmx, and more!

Foojay Podcast #9: State of JavaFX, Libraries, and Projects

Mon, 19 Dec 2022 08:09:31 +0000

JavaFX was introduced by Sun Microsystems in May 2007 and provides a platform for desktop, mobile, and embedded applications built on Java.

Libraries and software are available for the complete lifecycle of an application to run from a single codebase on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. JavaFX was originally part of the JDK, the Java Development Kit, and became a standalone technology in 2018.

The development is a joint effort between Oracle, Gluon (a small Belgian-based company), and the community.
