jabel VS Persism

Java has things like Jabel that let you use modern Java syntax and compile down to Java 8 for compatibility reasons.

This is useful commercially, but also nice when building Minecraft mods for older versions of Minecraft.

As for Java bytecode, you assume the differences are significant while in reality, they are not, as explained by the Jabel project:

(Before realizing it'd already been done)

If you want to use new language features (pattern matching, string templates, records etc.) then I highly recommend to take a look at https://github.com/bsideup/jabel

I've never heard of somebody sticking to 9 or 10 as their primary JDK. AFAIK most people who could update waited for the 11 LTS. The rest of us are just stuck on 8. But we have some nice tricks.

https://github.com/bsideup/jabel - lets you use new Java syntax, because things like pattern matching are just syntatic sugar and dont change the class file specification

I've found about the Jabel that tried to enable this feature in the Javac compiler.

People would be much better off using Persism https://github.com/sproket/Persism

Yes, you do also have to add the mysql-connector-java-(version).jar to the classpath. If you run it in eclipse, it should show the command line it uses somewhere. BTW if you're looking for a simple streamlined ORM have a look at persism

If you use Java you might like Persism https://github.com/sproket/Persism if you need to do anything databases.

If you want to try a easy to use ORM have a look at Persism

It's not that good. It doesn't have persism on it yet https://github.com/sproket/Persism

Is there a reason it needs a dependency on Lombok? If you want a library to be used, the less dependencies the better. See mine. It has zero.
