Java in 2024 - #JVMLS keynote

on YouTube ↗27m

" summary

Java shifts to a six-month cadence with every release delivered on time, tighter testing, preview features for incremental feedback, and the Java module system as “seat belts” to enable safer upgrades. The result is developers getting new APIs faster and Enterprises relying on stable LTS updates; backporting drops and release management improves via rightsizing the release management process. Recommendation: libraries publish releases aligned to the latest JDK and offer LTS branches for conservative users.
