Ask the Java Architects
summary
Explains why Java moves to a six‑month cadence and keeps three‑year LTS lines, showing it ships smaller features faster and eases planning; notes modules adoption is steady with about 4,000 modularized libraries measured on Maven Central; says fibers are not in Java 12 and Project Valhalla is nearing usable value types but not full reified generics yet; describes tools and fixes that reduce JVM startup and container memory issues (jlink custom runtimes, CDS, AOT/Graal tech) and confirms classpath remains for compatibility.
