Which version of Spring Framework for Java 17?

Which version of Spring Framework for Java 17?

I'm happy to respond in English this time!

To answer your question, the latest version of the Spring Framework that is compatible with Java 17 (Java 17 was released in September 2021) is Spring Boot 2.6.x.

Here's why: when a new major version of the JDK (like Java 17) is released, it typically brings significant changes to the language and its APIs. As a result, Spring needs to adapt to these changes to ensure that their framework works seamlessly with the latest JVM. This process usually involves updating various parts of the framework, such as annotations, dependencies, and configuration classes.

In this case, Java 17 has introduced several new features and enhancements, including improvements to the G1 garbage collector, a new "text" method in the String class, and changes to the way the JVM handles exceptions. Spring Boot 2.6.x reflects these changes by incorporating them into its architecture, configuration files, and APIs.

Some key features of Spring Boot 2.6.x include:

Other notable updates in Spring Boot 2.6.x include:

If you're building a new application or upgrading an existing one to use Java 17, I recommend using Spring Boot 2.6.x (or later) for its enhanced features and compatibility with the latest JVM.

How was that? Did I help clarify things for you?

Mockito Maven Dependency for Java 17

To use Mockito in your Java project, you'll need to add the necessary dependencies to your pom.xml file (if you're using Maven) or your build script (if you're using Gradle). Here are the steps:

Step 1: Add the Mockito dependency

Add the following dependency to your pom.xml file:

org.mockito
mockito-core
5.2.0
test

This will include the core Mockito library in your project.

Step 2: Add the Java 17 dependency (if needed)

If you're using Java 17, you'll also need to add the following dependency:

jakarta.xml.bind
jakarta.xml.bind-api
3.0.0
test

This is because Java 17 requires the jakarta.xml.bind library for XML serialization.

Step 3: Configure your build script (if using Gradle)

If you're using Gradle, add the following dependencies to your build.gradle file:

dependencies {
testImplementation 'org.mockito:mockito-core:5.2.0'
testImplementation 'jakarta.xml.bind:jakarta.xml.bind-api:3.0.0'
}

Step 4: Verify your dependencies

Once you've added the dependencies, verify that they're correctly included in your project by running mvn dependency:list (for Maven) or ./gradlew dependencies (for Gradle). This will show you a list of all the dependencies included in your project.

With these steps complete, you should now have the necessary Mockito dependency for Java 17 set up in your project. Happy testing!
