Best of Java 2020

• TeaVM 0.6.1: Java in the browser — make a full web app without a line of JavaScript! Now faster and better than ever. See lots of short examples in the Tea Sampler, or read the Java Magazine article.
• mvnd — The Maven Daemon. Type one extra letter, speed up your maven builds by 20-50%! Seriously, try it and see for yourself. mvnd is a drop-in replacement for maven. Once installed, just type mvnd in place of mvn and mvnd runs your builds using an in-memory, always running daemon process. After the first build, cached classes and data ensure markedly faster builds. If your development cycle is code/maven/test/repeat, you can see a significant increase in productivity.
• Spoiklin Sauce. A great tool with an unusual name, Spoiklin Sauce lets you create charts and statistics for your Java codebase. See how your code compares to other projects. Is your code a Netty or an Ant?. Then run the analysis tools to see recommendations on refactorings to improve your code.
