The new issue of JAVAPRO – “Java in the Age of AI” Special Edition has arrived at JCON 2026. Conference attendees can pick up a freshly printed copy for free, exclusively available in the Coffee Area. The print run is limited—so if you want to secure a copy, don’t wait too long.
With this special edition, JAVAPRO places a strong focus on the future of the Java ecosystem in the context of artificial intelligence. The magazine brings together high-quality articles on topics such as AI agents with Java and Spring, vector databases, microservices architectures, performance optimization, as well as security and supply chain stability. It is further enriched with practical insights into modern frameworks, new JVM trends, and innovative approaches to data access.
A look at the table of contents highlights the breadth of topics covered: from articles like “Building Production-Ready AI Agents with Java and Spring AI” and “Petabyte-Scale AI Memory with Serverless Java” to “Capability Mesh: Re-Architecting for the Agentic AI Future”, the issue offers both strategic perspectives and in-depth technical analysis. Classic Java topics such as pattern matching, data-oriented programming, and HTTP/3 are also included—always with a focus on current developments.
The list of contributors features well-known names from the Java community, including Cay Horstmann, Frank Delporte, Sebastian Hempel, Loïc Magnette, Grace Robinson, Jonathan Vila López, Makan Sepehrifar, and many others. Their contributions reflect the diversity and innovative strength of the Java ecosystem.
If you can’t make it to the conference or miss out on a print copy, there’s no need to worry: a digital PDF version of the JAVAPRO Special Edition will be released soon, making it accessible to an even wider audience.
This edition once again highlights Java’s role as a key technology in the age of AI—and invites the community to actively engage in shaping this evolution.
