Modern Java: Change is the Only Constant

on YouTube ↗27m

" summary

Java splits the monolithic JDK into 26 modules (now ~19 standard modules), removes Java EE and CORBA, and moves to a 6‑month cadence with LTS every 3 years; JDK 9 shipped 90 JEPs, JDK 10 had 12, JDK 11 had 17, JDK 12 had 8. Migration tooling includes jdeps tool to find illegal JDK-internal API use; strong encapsulation would have prevented 3 of 6 high-impact zero-days since 2011. New GCs (Epsilon, Shenandoah) and ~2,500 JDK11 bug fixes show concrete delivered results.
