Having written many Java GUI applications, I thought it would be cool to run them embedded in IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse and NetBeans. I didn’t want to write three plugins per application so I came up with this solution. The embedded panel criteria To convert my Java Swing applications to run embedded in an IDE, I had to put the user …

Cloud computing has opened a Pandora’s Box of many original issues compared to sound old on-premise systems. I believe that chief among them is Data Residency, or Data Location. Data localization or data residency law requires data about a nation’s citizens or residents to be collected, processed, and/or stored inside the country, often before being transferred internationally. Such data is …

Let’s talk about programming for fun. Grab your Lego and robots, and let’s talk about STEM and STEAM! As a developer, we all get frustrated occasionally when a bug messes up our schedule, and we have to dive deep into the code to find a solution. But still, many of us keep coding in our free time as we love …

Many Java applications use a database, and many use JDBC and PostgreSQL. The latency of database usage is often important, yet, what exactly happens at the database level is unknown. This article explains which options are available, what happens, and why. Most importantly, it includes a small Java class that can be used and modified to execute specific database tasks, …

If you’re working on a real world project, you’re probably using external dependencies. You might need to analyze which dependencies your application uses. For example, you may want to find out how a particular version of a dependency ended up in your application. Let’s take a look at how IntelliJ IDEA can help you to analyze dependencies. Using the Dependency …

TornadoVM is a programming framework for accelerating Java applications on heterogeneous devices, like multi-core CPUs, GPUs and FPGAs. Java developers can use the TornadoVM API to prototype Java methods within their code bases for hardware acceleration. TornadoVM is hardware-agnostic, but the generated code (i.e., kernels) for acceleration can be executed only through the TornadoVM runtime. This blog outlines the key …
