Plenty of business-critical applications still run on Java 8. @richard.fichtner.dev & Mark Stoodley (Chief Architect for Java at IBM) walk the path to Java 21 with IBM Bob and IBM Semeru Runtimes.
Java 8 is still everywhere. That's why this session exists.

Enterprise Java is rarely greenfield. @richard.fichtner.dev & Markus Eisele show how IBM Bob and the Quarkus Dev MCP keep AI-assisted work maintainable – demoed live on a production codebase, not a sample app.
