JavaOne is Oracle’s flagship Java conference — the place where the international community meets and discusses the future of the Java platform. We’re pleased that XDEV will be part of the 2026 program as a speaker. Contributing a session is an honor for us and a strong signal of our role within the Java ecosystem.
In one of the two sessions we are contributing, XDEV CEO Richard Fichtner addresses a question many teams are currently facing: How do you confidently navigate the Java ecosystem in 2026 — and modernize your codebase without adding unnecessary complexity?
JavaOne Session: How to (Re)start Your Java Journey in 2026
Date: Dienstag, 17. März 2026 | 2:00 – 2:50 PM PDT
Location: JavaOne 2026, Redwood City (CA) | Room 105
Java has long been more than just a language. The ecosystem continues to evolve — with mature build and testing tools, modern frameworks, deployment platforms, and performance-optimized runtimes. At the same time, new requirements are emerging, such as AI integration, cloud-native development, and sustainable computing.
In this session, XDEV shares practical guidance on which technologies and working approaches actually move the needle — and how teams can modernize their stack in a focused way:
- Orientation in the tool & framework landscape: Which decisions create real value — and which ones simply introduce additional complexity?
- Increase productivity: Modern practices that accelerate development and simplify maintenance.
- Modernization with a plan: Making sound technology choices that fit your architecture and remain sustainable long term.
