Abstract:

Are you thinking about migrating your application to Java 11 or newer and wondering what is going to break? Come to this session to learn about the common pitfalls when moving from Java 8 and how to resolve them. The goal from this session is to prepare you for the issues you will encounter during your own application migration and introduce tools that will make the process easier.
