Enterprise Java in Practice

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 10:11:40 +0000

Enterprise Java has matured into one of the most stable and widely adopted ecosystems in software development. Yet for many teams, the biggest challenges no longer come from the language itself, but from the complexity of the environments built around it.

Modern enterprise Java teams are dealing with a mix of legacy Java EE applications, Jakarta EE runtimes, microservices, container platforms, cloud-native deployments, and increasingly sophisticated DevOps pipelines. The result is an ecosystem that is powerful, but often fragmented across frameworks, runtimes, tooling, and operational models.

Do you want to know which Java JDK distribution is used where for what and when? The time has come again to take the State of Java Survey and share insights while gaining Java ecosystem knowledge.

All those participating will get the complete research, which can be of great benefit in your technology choices in the Java ecosystem.

Learn About How Your Peers Use Java!

Thu, 24 Oct 2024 12:44:16 +0000

Do you ever wonder what OpenJDK distributions and what Java versions your peers are using? Java-based infrastructures and languages? How many are using Java to code AI functionality? How Java workloads are affecting cloud compute costs?

Azul has been gathering all that data from a survey of Java users, running until 6:30pm CT on October 31, 2024. If you want to participate, the survey is short, and we’ll hook you up with the report after the survey is complete in January 2025.

Sustainable Software Engineering: Input Requested!

Wed, 21 Aug 2024 09:49:20 +0000

The Foojay community has a strong tradition around the creation of content on all things Java and OpenJDK. Since about a year ago, the community has a group of people that are working on a book with tips and information on Sustainable Software Engineering. For some of the topics in the book, we are looking for data to either support claims that are made, or inform us on the best direction to write a topic.

Oracle Alternatives Survey & Report

Mon, 13 May 2024 19:27:51 +0000

Azul is planning to issue an Oracle Java “alternatives” Report in late July, and would like your help to complete the survey.

The focus of this report is to explore the following themes:

highlight the frictions created by Oracle with their pricing policies and tactics
show whether customers are in fact moving off of Oracle Java to OpenJDK alternatives
prove the extent to which customers are willing to pay for commercial support and application migration expertise

Below is the link to the survey.

Friends of OpenJDK Community Survey

Tue, 06 Jun 2023 08:33:06 +0000

Here’s the idea.

A survey that allows the community to ask the questions they want, including (shock horror) occasional commercial ones.

Often, when a survey’s results are released, the reader is left wanting more, experiencing that perennial “yes but” moment. Typically, the survey data is hidden and unavailable for analysis, and the desired follow-up questions or clarifications are not addressed.

The Foojay survey breaks this pattern. We will make all the data available, within the bounds of GDPR, and you will have the opportunity to propose the questions that should be included. The Foojay Board also has the chance to propose their own questions.

State of Java Survey

Tue, 23 May 2023 05:47:41 +0000

Do you ever wonder what OpenJDK distributions and what Java versions your peers are using? Java-based infrastructures and languages? How many are running Java applications in public clouds?

THE SURVEY DESCRIBED BELOW IS NOW COMPLETE, NO MORE RESPONSES CAN BE ACCEPTED.

Azul has been gathering all that data from a survey of Java users, running until 6:30pm CT on June 15, 2023. If you want to participate, the survey takes about 10 minutes, and we’ll hook you up with the report after the survey is complete. Plus you’ll be helping to add to our collective knowledge. Plus you’ll be entered into a drawing to win prizes like an Apple MacBook Pro laptop or a set of AirPods.

JavaFX is a modern cross-platform open-source UI toolkit for the JVM. It provides a wide range of built-in controls and platform-specific features, such as hardware acceleration. If you have not used JavaFX before, you can get started at openjfx.io .

In order for any technology to grow and improve, community support and feedback are paramount. To get a general idea of what the community would like to see in JavaFX in the future, I have asked developers to share their thoughts:

New JVM Ecosystem Report 2021 Has Arrived!

Fri, 18 Jun 2021 08:14:41 +0000

Snyk has just released the annual JVM ecosystem report! This report presents the results of the largest annual survey on the state of the JVM ecosystem.

This year’s survey is a cooperation between Snyk and Azul and was slightly different from the previous surveys. We aimed for the survey to be more concise and focus only on the most important aspects of JVM developers today. Additionally, this year every participant was allowed to choose multiple options. We believe that the way the 2021 survey was designed, we have a better and more comprehensive view of the current JVM ecosystem. In this report, we also looked at different open data sources like GitHub and Google Trends to see how that data compares to the survey results.
