• @ApplicationModuleListener now exposes @EventListener's condition…

A few Java libraries have shown up recently that use text templates, but compile to Java classes at build time. They can thus claim to some extent to be "reflection free".

Hi, Spring fans! Happy one-day-belated Java 22 release day to those who celebrate! To ring in the new release, we've got an extra special and incredible discussion with a Java legend - somebody who's been involved in the Java community and work for decades - Stuart Marks, or "Dr. Deprecator," as he's affectionately known in the community.
