How to Build Java Applications Today: September 24, 2020
Conference report JHipster Code 2020, JHipster 6.10.2 & 6.10.3, and Weekly Links.
Introduction
This is the fourth issue of my weekly newsletter “How To Build Java Applications Today”. My newsletter complements my site betterprojectsfaster.com.
I wanted to start overhauling the site this week, but I signed up for two workshops on how to give better presentations. And I actually prepared a presentation there that I’ll give next week as a lightning talk at the LJC. So the overhaul has to wait another week, at least.
Conference Report: JHipster Code 2020
The JHipster team held an in-person (!) conference on September 14 in France. JHipster 7.0 will include Spring Boot 2.3 and Vue.js. In the future, JHipster will also support Spring Boot alternatives Micronaut & Quarkus.
JHipster 6.10.2 & 6.10.3: Security Patches & Bug Fixes
JHipster 6.10.2 patched security holes and fixed bugs, but was broken. JHipster 6.10.3 fixed that. Unless you need those patches & fixes, wait for JHipster 7.0.

Eclipse IDE 2020-09 is here, Oracle's Java team has their own podcast, Spring One videos online, new releases for Spring Boot & Spring Data, Angular documentation is overwhelming, and Swift 5.3 released.
