Java Ecosystem Embraces AI and Modernization

InfoQ's 2025 Java trends report summarizes ecosystem adoption and emerging technologies through mid-2025. It highlights new JVM AI frameworks (Embabel, Koog), LangChain4j, Spring AI 1.0, and the Java 25 LTS improvements that enhance readability, concurrency, and performance. The report also notes widespread Jakarta EE 11 adoption, early Jakarta EE 12 planning, and rising modernization efforts using OpenRewrite with enterprises exploring hybrid and on-prem deployments.
Key Points
- 1Introduce new JVM agent and AI frameworks (Embabel, Koog, LangChain4j, Spring AI) for developers.
- 2Advance platform stability: Java 25 LTS and Project Leyden features improve readability, concurrency, and performance.
- 3Force teams to modernize: OpenRewrite migrations, Jakarta EE 11 adoption, and hybrid/on-prem deployment strategies.
Scoring Rationale
Broad, editor-backed trends show significant JVM AI and modernization momentum, but lack a single paradigm-shifting breakthrough.
