Hello Java Enthusiasts!
For March 2009, The Tampa Java User Group will hosts another great
meeting investigating the use of the Spring Framework's dynamic
language. With the growth in popularity languages such as Groovy,
Ruby, Python, etc JSR-223 introduced inherent support dynamic
languages on the VM via the Scripting API. In the next meeting,
speaker RJ Salicco will explore how to integrate scripting into your
own Java developmen using the Spring Framework's support for dynamic
languages.
You will receive a RSVP email (to follow later) to confirm your
attendance so we can plan accordingly. Arrive early and bring a
colleague to enjoy this great topic. There will be food and plenty of
giveaways.
Don't forget, you can now follow the group on Twitter at http://twitter.com/tampajug

As AI evolves from tool to collaborator, architects must shift from manual design to meta-design. This article introduces the "Three Loops" framework (In, On, Out) to help navigate this transition. It explores how to balance oversight with delegation, mitigate risks like skill atrophy, and design the governance structures that keep AI-augmented systems safe and aligned with human intent.

JEP 500 prepares the Java ecosystem for final field integrity in JDK 26, restricting deep reflection mutations. This crucial update aims to enhance safety and performance by closing a long-standing loophole, transitioning toward stricter encapsulation. Developers can now anticipate warnings when attempting these mutations, ensuring a reliable path for future optimizations.
