During Devoxx Morocco I've spent some time coding a little new tool where the main reason was to have a widget on my MacOS desktop that shows the days until the next release/update of OpenJDK.
Because this alone was not enough to get it into the Mac App Store, I needed to add more functionality and so I've decided to also show the latest version of the last 4 LTS (Long Term Support) releases with the ability to download them either as JDK or JRE and if you like bundle JavaFX with it. At the moment that would mean JDK 8, 11, 17 and 21 with their latest versions available.
You need to be on MacOS Sonoma to be able to run the app because of the widgets that are only on Sonoma upwards.
The downloads are based on the free builds of OpenJDK by Azul (Zulu) and will only be downloaded as tar.gz packages to your Downloads folder.
Here are some screenshots...
The application:
The available widgets:
You can find the app on the MacOS app store following this link...
If you have ideas on how to improve this app... just let me know and ping me on twitter.

Device Monitoring with JavaFX and FXGL
In a previous post, Getting Started with FXGL Game Development, we already have taken a look at the FXGL game development framework developed by Almas Baimagambetov.
But, this game engine can also be used for other use cases. In this post, we will be building a system monitoring dashboard, which can run on a Raspberry Pi.
The dashboard can be used to keep an eye on any device that can report its state to a queue. And, for me personally, it finally solves the problem of finding the IP addresses of all my Raspberry Pi’s when my router decided to shuffle them.

Hi there, I did not publish the code of JDKMonitor because it is written in Swift, not Java. But I wrote a similar tool in Java which is already available for Mac, Linux and Windows, you can find it here JDKMon. It is similar but comes with different features.
