No true scotsman, err modern Java developer would ever write Java like that. The language has better ways to do these things now and it's just a small matter of rewriting every project in existence with modern tooling. Of course modern Java moves the complexity to reflection magic so it's even more difficult to figure out what's happening when something breaks.

I'm happy I don't have to work with any kind of Java any more.

Are you 10 years behind? Modern Java moves the complexity into compile time annotation processors, so it's even more difficult to figure out what's happening when something breaks.

It's some time since I last touched Java, and even back then the projects I was involved with took care to use only stable releases (i.e. either oldest supported or already EOL'd) of anything.
