Moving Java Forward Faster
summary
Java moves to a six-month release cadence with the next feature release in March 2018 and JDK 10 carrying only 12 finished items: var local-variable type inference, a unified Mercurial repo, a garbage-collector interface, AppCDS (application class-data sharing) for faster startup, root certificates in OpenJDK, and experimental features like an alternative JIT. Oracle publishes GPL OpenJDK builds and is open-sourcing commercial bits (Flight Recorder, JMC); JDK 11 plans include Epsilon GC and removal of Java EE/CORBA modules. Projects feeding the pipeline include Amber, Valhalla, Loom, Panama and Metropolis.
