 Convert your Java Application to Native Executable (.exe)

Native-image utility (Plugin for GraalVM)

We’ve seen an increasing number of Windows 10 users

express interest in using GraalVM Native Image, which is
an ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation technology that
packages Java bytecode to a standalone executable.

This executable is a native application like any other on

the user’s system, and typically achieves a much faster
startup time while occupying a smaller footprint.

 Java Auto Update
https://www.java.com/en/download/help/java_update.html

Java Update is a feature that keeps your Windows computer

up-to-date with the latest Java 8 updates.

When you have auto update enabled, your system

periodically checks for new versions of Java. When a new
version is found we ask your permission to upgrade your Java
installation.

You can schedule how often to check for updates or check

manually at any time.

 Tribuo a Java Machine Learning library
https://blogs.oracle.com/ai-and-datascience/post/announcing-tribuo-a-java-machine-learning-library

Tribuo is a general purpose Machine Learning library but also has extensive support for NLP tasks built in. It has
algorithms for classification, regression, clustering, etc, and provides a common abstracted interface to each. This
makes it easy to integrate new prediction techniques as they arrive.

 Java @ Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)

In VDI, a hypervisor segments servers into virtual machines that in

turn host virtual desktops, which users access remotely from their
devices. Users can access these virtual desktops from any device or
location, and all processing is done on the host server.
Users connect to their desktop instances through a connection
broker, which is a software-based gateway that acts as an
intermediary between the user and the server.
