Liberica JDK now runs natively on M1-powered Apple products. This feature applies to both LTS's (8, 11) and the current Liberica JDK 15. Given that in July 2020 we added AArch64 support for LibericaFX to JDK 11, the most recent LTS version, it paved the way to include it for 64-bit ARM processors in Macs and Macbooks. Apple Silicon users will benefit from full-fledged JavaFX (including Graphics, Controls, Media, and Webkit modules) in all Full bundles to create complex and appealing visual interfaces.
In view of the upcoming Liberica JDK release, we want to lift the curtain just a bit and talk about what makes BellSoft images so small. You will learn the two main image reduction methods and get tools to minimize containers for your project.
Developers often choose Java for financial applications due to its reliability. Learn which programming languages for JVM will make your project succeed.
Welcome back to developing a Liberica JDK-based app for real-time conversion of mathematical formulas from Markdown to HTML. The second part of this series focuses on building a text editor that supports Markdown syntax and a preview pane to show the result.
The promising Kotlin language has made many developers jump for joy and even rekindled their interest in studying new ways in programming.

Here’s why BellSoft, determined to keep you informed of everything Java-related, has invited me to make a two-parter on the young and advanced Kotlin language.
BellSoft, one of the top-5 OpenJDK contributors, and Karakun AG, a software engineering company that specializes in the development of custom solutions and maintainer of OpenWebStart, an open source re-implementation of the Java Web Start technology, have recently announced a new partnership. BellSoft and Karakun collaborate to provide a safe path from Oracle Java to open source solutions.
Plain text documents are timeless. The earliest ASCII documents ever written can still be opened, read, and modified today, on virtually any hardware, using any operating system, without any proprietary software, online service, or third-party conversion program. In stark contrast are document formats such as those produced by Microsoft Word, ClarisWorks, Lotus Manuscript, WordPerfect, WordStar, and most other word processors, whether discontinued or not.
Running a Java application in Docker on a VM hosted in the cloud is not uncommon these days. But let’s take a closer look at this setup. We have a bare metal box somewhere in the cloud provider’s data center and hypervisor host OS running on that box. Next, we have a guest OS running in a VM provided by the hypervisor. Docker is...
We at BellSoft take nothing more seriously than the quality, security, and performance of our products. These are the most common concerns for any organization that chooses to develop with OpenJDK. No need to worry—you do not have to “only pick two.”
We at BellSoft emphasize that Liberica JDK must be convenient and accessible to all users. Our development team makes sure the runtime is available as Docker container images, on package managers, clouds, and other distribution channels.
