Welcome to another installment of You May Not Need Another Library For That (YMNNALFT)! I've spent a lot of time since 2016 illuminating (or trying to, anyway!) some of the more enormous opportunities in the Spring ecosystem in my Spring Tips videos. Today, however, I come to you in a different spirit, wanting to focus on the little, sometimes hidden, gems that do fantastic things and that might spare you an additional third-party dependency and its implied complexity.

I think the first use I had for Spring, more than 15 years ago, was the JdbcTemplate, which eliminated the eye-watering and…

Then, there's some factory method for building a java.util.Collection<T>, so you extract it out into a separate class and expose it as a static method. And eventually, you've got a whole collection of these things scoured about your codebase, and there's little to no cohesion across them. After all, there's just not that much to it, right? These are, essentially, only global functions, not really methods on stateful objects, …
