This Week in JBoss - 11 June 2020
Welcome to another edition of the JBoss Editorial where we gather news from our communities and explore developments from our projects.
Mandrel
There has been some exciting news about Mandrel. You’ve likely heard of this by now but, in his announcement post, Mark explains how Red Hat has worked with the GraalVM community to create a distribution of OpenJDK with GraalVM’s native-image capabilities for producing native executables.
AI vs COVID-19
A recent DevNation Tech Talk with a very topical subject looks at how OptaPlanner has helped keep medical staff and patients safer with advanced planning algorithms. It’s nice to see Java play a role in improving things for those who are at the front lines of the pandemic.
