The Future of Java and You
summary
Java SE targets the cloud with an explicit governance model: every feature must deliver a specification, a reference implementation and a TCK so multiple vendors remain compatible. The platform moves on a six‑month release cadence (Java 9→13 in a few years) with long‑term support every three years (Java 11 = first LTS), over 400 JSRs and ~12M developers. openJDK is the reference implementation, projects like Valhalla, Panama, Portola, Loom and Amber publish JEPs and early access builds every two weeks (JDK 13 final Sept 17 2019; var, switch previews, ZGC updates noted).
