Java Full-Stack Report July 2022
What’s This?
This is the “Java Full-Stack Report” for July 2022. I recommend IDEs, build tools, JVM languages, databases, back-end frameworks, web frameworks, and mobile app frameworks. This report is different because it measures popularity by observing all Java developers: job ads from 62 countries, online training students, Stack Overflow questions, and Google searches. My recommendations are based on that popularity, industry analysis, and my 23 years of Java experience. I also cover essential releases and news.
This month: I now cover IDEs & build tools and measure how popular Java is vs. non-JVM languages, Scala surpasses Kotlin in job ad mentions, Spring Data MongoDB vulnerability, Kotlin roadmap, and Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2022.

Stand-Up
I now cover IDEs & build tools, I also measure the popularity of Java vs. Python, JavaScript, C#, and Go, and the Technology Index will only be updated quarterly now.
Technology Index
I recommend IDEs, build tools, JVM languages, databases, back-end frameworks, web frameworks, and mobile app frameworks. I measure popularity by observing all Java developers: job ads from 62 countries, online training students, Stack Overflow questions, and Google searches. My recommendations are based on that popularity, industry analysis, and my 23 years of Java experience.
Popularity trends in job ad mentions: Scala surpassed Kotlin. All databases lost to Postgres last month. Quarkus is number three after DropWizard’s collapse. And everybody lost to the mobile app framework Flutter.
Release Radar
Eclipse, NetBeans, and VS Code had major releases in June 2022, as did Git and Quarkus. Maven, Spring Boot, Quarkus, Micronaut, DropWizard, and IntelliJ had minor ones.
New & Noteworthy
Spring Data MongoDB vulnerability, Kotlin Roadmap, Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2022, and what is OpenJDK.
