As I mentioned previously, having Java 17 available with the latest release of Notes/Domino has brought welcome changes for Java developers. Just to scratch the surface a bit, here are three language-level niceties that we can immediately benefit from: 1. Simplified access to file contents 2. Local-variable type inference (var identifier) 3. Text blocks

Having recently installed a Notes/Designer/Admin 12 client on Windows 8.1 Pro on an aging Intel i7 Quad-Core (with eight logical processors), I was surprised to see that after startup, Notes was consistently grabbing one logical processor and pegging it at around 15%. Windows Task Manager showed that nlnotes.exe was the process and it wouldn't let go of that processor until Notes was closed
