How to list Maven local artifacts using JBang, by Francesco Marchioni

I have to say I’m a huge fan of JBang. What’s not to love about an easy-to-use tool that makes scripting with Java a breeze? When I noticed the title of Francesco’s post, I clicked it immediately and dug right in. It did not disappoint and showed a neat JBang CLI script that uses picocli libraries to find the Maven versions of an artifact in your local repository.

Galder’s informative post takes us through an examination of the recent change to the garbage collection policy for Quarkus native applications. The change aligns with GraalVM’s default "adaptive" GC policy to provide a better out of the box experience. Galder shows us in spectacular detail how this change brings about more consistent and predictable runtime performance.

Event-driven Ansible Office Hours

Surely by now you’ve heard of Event-Driven Ansible but maybe you only have a rough idea of how the technology works? Well, great news!

The team have started office hours to demo and explain how Event-Driven Ansible allows you to subscribe to an event-listening source and then quickly and easily automate tasks that respond to those events. Follow the link above to find the latest webinar and learn from the community.

Definitely catch the replay of Quarkus Insights #115: What’s new in Infinispan? if you haven’t already watched it.

Also check out Sean Cavanaugh’s demo video, Getting started with Event-Driven Ansible and Ansible Rulebooks.
