lucee-filecoverage-extension
By Mark Drew
This extension adds a debug template that you can use to log all the script files that are touched. This allows you to see which files don't have test coverage (for example) or files that should be safe to delete. It is very useful when dealing with unknown or legacy code.
Check out the repo:

By Charlie Arehart (https://twitter.com/carehart)
Wondering about CF support for Java 9, 10, or 11, here in 2018 (with respect to CF 2018, CF 2016, CF 11, or earlier)? Did you know that Java 9 and Java 10 each have only 6-month lives? Seriously. And did you know that Java 9 is already no longer updated, while Java 8 still is (into next year), and that Java 11 is due to come out in September 2018? It can be quite confusing if you’ve not been paying attention to Oracle’s new release model.
