The MovieManager project has been updated to use JDK 25 and the AOT cache from project Leyden. Project Leyden is part of the OpenJDK project and provides cached linking and cached performance statistics. That means the time spent linking at startup is moved to build time, and the statistics are created during a test run at build time as well.

Because of that, the JVM loads the needed classes already linked and starts compiling the hot code paths immediately. The MovieManager application starts in less than half the time with these optimizations without any code changes.

Artificial intelligence is evolving beyond basic chat interfaces to play an active role in enterprise applications. While initial AI integrations often focus on text generation, summarization, or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), many business challenges demand more advanced solutions. These require breaking down complex objectives into sequenced tasks and coordinating their execution. The Planning Pattern addresses this need by enabling AI to function as both a content generator and a strategist that creates execution plans.

For software engineers and architects, the Planning Pattern marks a significant advancement in intelligent systems. It separates reasoning from execution, allowing applications to use large language models while ensuring governance, observability, and reliability in enterprise settings.

If you've ever written raw JDBC, you know what's coming. Open a connection, create a PreparedStatement, set parameters by index (hope you counted right), iterate a ResultSet, close everything in a finally block, declare SQLException on every method signature… It's a lot of ceremony for "give me some rows."

I've been experimenting with Ujorm3, a new lightweight ORM library for Java 17+. Here's a realistic example - a JOIN query that maps results including a nested relation:
