Java 'scripting' with modern JDK features and JBang

Presentation Outline

• Modern JDK lets you run .java files without compiling.
• JBang makes it easy to use libraries from Maven.
• Showcase of Wildfly Glow to run a full JEE app in a single file.
• JBang is really powerful; huge catalog of Apps and Aliases (ready to run scripts).
• Showcase of App 'camel jbang' to demonstrate using a complex framework in a single short file.
• Follow up with 'exporting' the prototype we wrote into a deployable Quarkus app.

As time permits, there will be a pause after each of the "showcases" for the audience to try it on their own laptops, with their own script ideas.
