Overview of the Java Platform: Java 9, Java + Docker, and JVM Languages
summary
Java 9 introduces modularization to encapsulate internal APIs and let runtimes be customized down to what an app needs, promising smaller footprints and better security; a new AOT compiler targets faster startup while keeping dynamic JIT for peak performance; JShell REPL is added for easier experimentation; weekly early access builds and an Oracle–Docker effort aim for container parity with no performance loss, plus work on memory sharing, GPU access, telemetry and density for cloud scale.
