How to download Maven project pom.xml dependencies to a specific folder

Maven offers dependency:copy-dependencies command to download the project dependencies.

Check this here: https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/examples/copying-project-dependencies.html

$ mvn dependency:copy-dependencies -DoutputDirectory=<your target directory>

For example:

I want to download the project dependencies to google-closure project/plugin dependencies.

Steps:

1. First navigate to the project directory

2. Make sure you have pom.xml specified in the directory

3. Run the below command with the target directory location

$ mvn dependency:copy-dependencies -DoutputDirectory=/Users/kkolipaka/eclipse-workspace_development_luna/com.google.javascript/lib2

Java 11 support for the Eclipse

Java 11 support is added for Eclipse. Remember, this is not part of the simultaneous Release "Eclipse 2018-09(4.9)", so we need to update the eclipse using the update site which provides the support for "Java 11" language features such as lambda with var type in the JDT and to see "Complier compliance level" support for Java 11 in the Java Compiler preferences.

Eclipse Simultaneous Release 2018-09 is now "Eclipse 4.9"

I was expecting Eclipse 4.9 sometime during June, 2019 as part of the Eclipse annual release cycle. It's kind of surprising for me when I heard about Eclipse Simultaneous Release 2018-09 (SimRel 2018-09 ) is now called as "Eclipse 4.9" 

Each annual release typically occurs in June, with follow-up update releases in September (*.1), December (*.2), and March (*.3). 

Whatever, let's welcome "Eclipse 4.9" and it's time for one more upgrade!

Here are New and Noteworthy changes in the Eclipse 4.9

More FAQ's here on the naming convention for Simultaneous Release:
https://wiki.eclipse.org/SimRel/Simultaneous_Release_Cycle_FAQ


More interesting part is here from the above link:

The releases will be named following the pattern year.month: SimRel YYYY-MM.

For instance SimRel 2018-09, SimRel 2018-12, SimRel 2019-03, SimRel 2019-06…

Note that unlike past years, the name will no longer change annually with an alphabetically increasing name (Kepler, Luna, Mars, Neon, Oxygen, Photon) but will instead remain the singular name of the train.

Snapshot of Java 11 Features

New features from the developer’s perspective:

321: HTTP Client (Standard)

323: Local-Variable Syntax for Lambda Parameters

330: Launch Single-File Source-Code Programs

332: Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3

320: Remove the Java EE and CORBA Modules

I think the most important feature from above is, HTTP Client API. As you must aware there are a number of existing HTTP client API’s and implementations exist, e.g. Jetty and the Apache Http Client – In fact, I was using Apache Http Client since there was no standardized API from the Java. 

Other important thing here is - Removal of Java EE and CORBA modules. Many projects still using JAXB API's and now they need to package them as third-party jars.

Memory and Performance tuning:

318: Epsilon: A No-Op Garbage Collector

333: ZGC: A Scalable Low-Latency Garbage Collector

   (Experimental)

331: Low-Overhead Heap Profiling

However, none of them impact the hotspot GC. Those are introduced to address various use cases especially for testing and performance tuning and need to enable them through specific flags.

Deprecated Features:

1.    335: Deprecate the Nashorn JavaScript Engine

2.    336: Deprecate the Pack200 Tools and API

Lot of people uses the Nashron JS engine to run the JS code from the Java – this might be a huge impact for those people.
