Assess a Java project's modernization posture — Java version, framework versions, dependency health, vulnerabilities, and migration opportunities

Deploy Java applications to Azure services including App Service, Container Apps, AKS, and Spring Apps

Upgrade Java projects from JDK 11 to JDK 17 covering Records, Sealed Classes, Pattern Matching for instanceof, Switch Expressions, Text Blocks

Upgrade Java projects from JDK 17 to JDK 21 covering Virtual Threads, Pattern Matching for switch, Record Patterns, Sequenced Collections

Upgrade Java projects from JDK 21 to JDK 25 covering Flexible Constructor Bodies, Stream Gatherers, Class-File API, Scoped Values, Security Manager removal

Upgrade Java projects from JDK 8 to JDK 11 covering module system, removed Java EE modules (JAXB, JAX-WS, CORBA), var keyword, HTTP Client, collection factory methods

Migrate Java application services and dependencies to Azure equivalents using predefined migration tasks

Upgrade Java runtime versions, frameworks, and dependencies to their latest compatible releases

Build, sign, notarize, staple, validate, and troubleshoot macOS DMG releases for Java and JavaFX applications packaged with jlink/jpackage. Use when creating Developer ID signed Java desktop apps, configuring GitHub Actions release workflows, handling Apple notarization, or debugging Gatekeeper, hardened runtime, JVM JIT, JavaFX native library, DMG signing, and macOS launch failures.

MANDATORY: Always use `ghx` instead of `gh` for every GitHub CLI command. Never invoke `gh` directly. Prefer `ghx` over GitHub MCP Server tools when Bash is available — use MCP only when `ghx` cannot perform the task. ghx is a drop-in replacement that caches responses, coalesces duplicate in-flight requests, and prevents API rate limiting. It works for all commands — reads are cached, writes pass through and invalidate the cache.

Debug Java applications in real time using JDB (Java Debugger CLI). Attach to running JVMs or launch new ones under JDB, set breakpoints, step through code, inspect variables, analyze threads, and diagnose exceptions. Use when debugging Java programs, investigating runtime behavior, or diagnosing production issues on JVMs with JDWP enabled.
