Weekly Review (https://www.baeldung.com/category/weekly-review)

1. Spring and Java

>> Peaceful and Bright Future of Integrity by Default in Java
(https://inside.java/2025/01/03/evolving-default-integrity/)
[inside.java]
The “Integrity by Default” JEP aims to restrict unsafe APIs by default (with
the option to override this behavior). What’s more, the Java team is preparing
to phase out potentially unsafe APIs and features entirely (such as the
sun.misc.Unsafe API, the JNI, and the Instrumentation API). Cool.
>> Hello DCO, Goodbye CLA: Simplifying Contributions to Spring
(https://spring.io/blog/2025/01/06/hello-dco-goodbye-cla-
simplifying-contributions-to-spring) [spring.io]
The Spring team has decided to replace the Contributor License Agreement
(CLA) with a Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO). The goal is to simplify
contributions to Spring while still providing the same protections to the
Spring project and users.

2. Technical & Musings

>> Refactoring with Codemods to Automate API Changes

IDEs are great at performing simple refactorings in a project. However, for

(/)
more complex changes across large or distributed codebases, we need a
more efficient solution. Codemods (scripts that rely on AST manipulation)
can help automate these with minimal effort.
