The Java platform Enterprise Edition or Java EE is the industry standard for the development of robust, scalable, portable and secure server-side Java apps. Building on the solid Java SE foundation, the Java EE offers component development, web management and services as well as communications APIs, which make it the industry standard for the implementation of enterprise class service-oriented architecture and Web 2.0 apps.
Java consulting companies have expertise in different Java technologies. The dedicated experts could do custom Java development with ease, which meet the particular requirements of clients.
JAVA IN 2018
Java never failed to improve year after year. This year seems to be another year of fascinating and significant changes for the number one programming language all over the world. Java is one of the most user-friendly programming languages, which is concurrent, class-based, object-oriented and especially designed to suit the requirements of any industry. Since its inception, it has evolved in a big way to provide immense benefits.
With the huge transformation and major updates that occurred in 2017, Java has taken a big leap that would not just benefit the IT industry in particular, but would also significantly contribute to the advancement of several industries. The experts foresee great changes for this year.
TOP JAVA TOOLS IN 2018
The different tools available in the market provide various functionalities, thus making it hard for developers to choose a specific one. The same goes for Java, which is designed specifically to provide excellent services to the set-top box devices as well as mobile phones. The lightweight tools would be given a boost this year. Some tools that are expected to provide huge benefits include the following:
- Eclipse. One of the most preferred tools among developers, with highly customizable features. Some advantages of Eclipse are:
- Seamless problem-solving
- Convenient navigational features
- Auto-completion attribute
- Easily customizable
- Supported by other languages
- JDK or Java Development Kit. With its immense features, developers find it very feasible to use. Features are:
- Cost-effective tool
- Top-notch memory allocation techniques
- Easy to use even for a beginner
- Uses a personalized Java Virtual Machine
- Easy transformation from C to other languages
- Oracle JDeveloper. An integrated development framework that aims to provide a visual and informative approach to boost the user development experience. High-quality features are:
- Adoption of code features
- High-security services
- Other attributes, such as ANT support, API, audit and metrics among others
- 150 and more Ajax-powered components
- NetBeans IDE. An open source IDE that’s compatible with Java J2EE development, together with Java SE. Feature include:
- Extensible platform
- Compatibility with different languages
- Ideal for new users
- High-performing GUI builder
JAVA EE WILL GO CLOUD NATIVE IN 2018 WITH REACTIVE
- Java Enterprise Edition would get more Reactive. There’s been a noticeable disconnect between conversations happening in the cloud-native and Java EE recently. The Java EE community is truly working to accelerate the process of making it relevant in cloud-native architectures. Now that the Eclipse Foundation is the steward of Java EE, there are many leaders in the Reactive Movement who work together to bridge to a new world of distributed workloads in cloud-native architecture. With the Reactive Streams inclusion in JDK 9, the Java community and specification have taken a giant step towards Reactive.
- Java, Container and Reactive worlds would collide. Containers as well as cloud-native often presume bare-metal servers, without polyglot and JVM development. As cloud-native has taken flight as how big tech companies as well as startups in Silicon Valley create new distributed apps, there’s been a lot of unanswered questions from the Java community on how to participate in the new world of modern app design and operations in the best way possible. Java EE via MicroProfiles would make it possible for organizations to target legacy Java monoliths, deconstruct them as micro-services and run in cloud. This would be a big disruptive force as the massive based installed of Java shops in all industries target the previously inflexible system and make them more flexible with cloud-native development.
JAVA EE TODAY
Overall, the Java Enterprise Edition remains a valuable platform for most organization applications:
- It has one single dependency to rule them all
- The programing model is flexible and complete
- A good integration with most IDE
- CDI prove to be powerful and easy to use
- Modern app servers like Payar, TomEE, Red Hat and more
The ecosystem of Java is big and has been changing since its onset to suit the requirements of the industry as well as developers. Always, it provides technologies and tools to fit various users and their demands. The tools, together with upcoming additions would make certain that the language would be adopted in a wide range of digital transformations. Java app development would remain extremely relevant for years and years.
