Java developers are unlikely to ever suffer from a lack of libraries, utilities, and programs at their disposal. There's no shortage of tools that offer niche as well as fundamental features. However, some tools undoubtedly stand out due to their popularity, usefulness, data representation, and in-tool features. These 8 tools listed below are often listed as some of the best Java development tools available on the market.
A memory leak is a situation where unused objects occupy unnecessary space in memory. Unused objects are typically removed by the Java Garbage Collector (GC) but in cases where objects are still being referenced, they are not eligible to be removed. As a result, these unused objects are unnecessarily maintained in memory. Memory leaks block access to resources and cause an application to consume more memory over time, leading to degrading system performance.
Debugging is the process of identifying and fixing any issues in the source code of a program. Modern IDEs like Eclipse provide debugging tools that make it easier for developers to walk through their code interactively and inspect it to spot and resolve any issues.
Imagine, you are developing Java software and suddenly you encounter an error? Where could you have possibly gone wrong? There are many types of errors that you will encounter while developing Java software, but most are avoidable. Some errors are minor lapses when writing codes but that is very much mendable. If you have an error monitoring tool such as Stackify Retrace, you can write codes with ease.
If you are familiar with Bitrise you probably already used the Script Step to do something in your CI workflow. There are multiple options for the language of your script, by default it is a bash script, but the description of the step also mentions Go, Ruby or Python. Although it does not mention Java or Kotlin, I will show you in the next few minutes how to do it!
In a recent blog post, one of my teammates, Josh, shared a few techniques for deploying Java agents in Kubernetes applications. We have been getting a lot of interest in the concepts we have shared and, per popular request, decided to raise the bar. Is it possible to add a Java agent without changing a single line in either the Dockerfile or the Kubernetes Manifest? Well, the answer is most definitely yes (!), and here’s how.
In the world of software development, there’s no such thing as writing perfect code. As such, almost every software developer ends up spending a great deal of their time debugging code. Therefore, one of the best ways to increase your efficiency as a developer is to have the ability to locate errors, identify the root cause, and fix it to resolve problems in your codebase.
Over time, Java has become a popular programming language in software development. Although Java is more popular with developers than C or C++, this programming language still has its problems. Here are seven Java development mistakes that developers can make and how you can avoid them.
We’re excited to announce that we’ve strengthened our solution for Java Spring. Spring developers can now integrate Rollbar into their Java Spring Boot and Spring Web MVC applications even more quickly and easily. With our new SDK, instrumentation and getting real-time actionable error alerts takes just a few minutes. Spring has consistently been one of the most popular Java frameworks and we want to make sure we’re consistently offering the best possible solution for it.
As important as adding new features, app developers need to start placing more emphasis on the security aspect of the applications they design. After all, more app features mean more data residing within an app. Without proper security controls in place, that data can be vulnerable to intruders.
