An airhacks.fm conversation with Romain Grecourt (@rgrecourt) about: introduction of clean Java EE 6 API guidelines by Bill Shannon, the guidelines were implemented by Romain, the Maven Versioning Rules by Bill Shannon, predictable groupids, artifactids and package names in Java EE 6, helidon comes with a flat classloader, in helidon there is no distinction between helidon's and third party libraries, Java EE 7 fixed the uncompilable API issue, API jar is the implementation of the API, Java EE APIs from different vendors may vary, javax API was not meant to be universal, Bill Shannon was one of Solaris architects, the "Oracle Native Developer", GlassFish v2 and v3 was "bleeding edge", early GlassFIsh versions were built with Apache Ant, WebLogic multi-tenancy and vertical scaling, WebLogic build system modernization, migration from Jira and Mercurial to GitHub, migration from svn to git, GlassFish started with cvs then transition to svn, KDE's svn to git, during the transition from Java EE GlassFish to Jakarta EE GlassFish some history got lost, the "Java For Cloud" project, "Java For Cloud" is the ancestor of Helidon, weblogic 8 was very fast, GlassFish v3 was internally modularized, Helidon was inspired by Java 8 functional programming capabilities and expressjs, Java For Cloud was "Functional First and Reactive First", Java For Cloud became the Helidon Web Server, Helidon SE would compete with Vert.x, Reactive Programming is Helidon's implementation detail, Helidon supports Java Loom, Helidon SE is faster, than Helidon MicroProfile, CQRS might help with database scalability, Helidon CLI is written in Java and translated with GraalVM to a native executable, vuejs CLI developer experience inspired Helidon CLI, GraalVM: goodness of Go and greatness of Java, Helidon CLI will support pluggable extensions, Helidon comes with home-made templating framework, wad.sh - the "Watch and Deploy" tool, jib - demon-less docker image builds, incremental Docker re-builds, Helidon and direct support for Kubernetes, the minimilastic, beatiful YAML, xdoclet and Attribute Oriented Programming, maven has no knowledge about plugins, maven vs. gradle, the Thirsty Bear GlassFish party, Romain Grecourt on twitter: @rgrecourt, helidon's slack channel
