The SPRING
So far, there hasn’t been a similar way to bootstrap a new MicroProfile project even if the different vendors have provided starters for their implementations. But the wait is over! The MicroProfile Starter is currently in “Beta”, but works like a charm. Just navigate to https://start.microprofile.io and start generating.
Based on which version of MicroProfile you select, you will get the available implementations that
UPDATE! I have updated the option of running Corretto in Docker to using the amazoncorretto Docker image available from Docker Hub.
Amazon Corretto is a production-ready distribution of OpenJDK with long-term support including performance- and security updates provided by Amazon.
Amazon provides installation packages and instructions for Linux, Windows, and macOS, as well as a Docker. The latest installation package is based on OpenJDK version 1.8.0_202:
$ java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_202"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Corretto-8.202.08.2 (build 1.8.0_202-b08)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Corretto-8.202.08.2 (build 25.202-b08, mixed mode)
$If you don’t want to, or isn’t able to install Corretto on your workstation, t is pretty straightforward to try it out using Docker:
$docker run -it amazoncorretto
bash-4.2# java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_202"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Corretto-8.202.08.1 (build 1.8.0_202-b08)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Corretto-8.202.08.1 (build 25.202-b08, mixed mode)
bash-4.2#Amazon Corretto is licensed under the same license as OpenJDK (GPLv2 with CPE) and there are no costs associated with using it. Amazon will provide quarterly security updates to Corretto 8 at least until June 2023.
Relax, Amazon plans to make Corretto 11 available during the first half of 2019. Corretto 11 will be based on OpenJDK 11.
The JPA Modeler plugin for NetBeans provides visual support for creating, designing and editing entity relationship models. It also provides Java code generation and new for version 1.5.5 is that it provides support for generating MVC 1.0 applications.
Check out MVC 1.0 Generator Tutorial to see how it works.
Kudos to Gaurav Gupta (@jGauravGupta) for this awesome tool! Another proof that NetBeans is the IDE for developing Java EE applications!
Follow @jpamodeler on Twitter!
It is great to start 2016 with the announcement that I have been included in the NetBeans Dream Team!
I always try to be as objective and unbiased as possible when writing and talking about tools and technologies, but I guess it has been pretty obvious that NetBeans is my favorite IDE and in my opinion the best IDE for Java EE development. Being a member of the Dream Team will enable me to contribute even more to make this great tool even greater.

SnoopEE [ˈsnuːpı] – The lean and simple discovery mechanism for Java EE based microservices.
What’s in a name, really?
Naming is hard! When I came up with the name Snoop for my discovery mechanism for microservices based on Java EE, my though was to associate the name with “snooping around for services to discover”. It seems, however, that most people’s thought goes to Snoop Dogg when hearing the name and that was never my intention.
That is one of the reasons for the renaming. Another consideration is that I want to point out that the best fit for SnoopEE is for Java EE!
At the same time I don’t want to signal that it is only for Java EE. I want it to be just as lean and simple no matter what technology used to implement the services. That is the only reason why I have been a little reluctant to the renaming.
SnoopEE has a nicer feel and as the twitter poll indicates, I am not alone thinking this.
For the record, I have nothing at all against Snoop Dogg! I just feel that Snoopy the dog is a little bit cuter…
I have crated a new page for SnoopEE, but as for everyhing else, such as GitHub repo, maven coordinates and naming, it all stays as it is until properly announced otherwise.
Are you in possession of artistic and/or creative skills and want to contribute to an Open Source project?
Snoop is an open source service registry and discovery mechanism for Java EE based microservices that is in desperate need of a logo.
Have a look at https://github.com/ivargrimstad/snoop/issues/13 and see if you can help.

I have been thinking of freshening up the design of this blog for a while. The plan was to do it in a controlled manner with a proper backup first. But as we all know, everything does not necessarily happen according to plan in this industry. Sometimes a rm -rf * in a slightly unfortunate location has a tendency to speed up the process a bit…[1]
But, apart from a couple of missing images that will be added within the next couple of days, I think the result turned out pretty good!
[1] Can’t even blame the cat for sitting on the keyboard this time…
Snoop..what…?
An explanation may be in order. Snoop is an experimental open source discovery service for Java EE that I created as a demo for my presentation at JavaLand earlier this year. After that I have developed it a little further and now I deem it good enough to be showcased more publicly.
The artifacts are published in Maven Central and has the following coordinates:
<dependency> <groupId>eu.agilejava</groupId> <artifactId>snoop</artifactId> <version>1.0.0</version> </dependency>
<dependency> <groupId>eu.agilejava</groupId> <artifactId>snoop-client</artifactId> <version>1.0.0</version> </dependency>
The Snoop Service is also available in Maven Central and for convenience available as a Docker image.
$ docker run -it -p 8081:8080 ivargrimstad/snoop-service:1.0.0
The GitHub project contains the source code as well as more documentation.
