JDK 9 & 10: Mission Accomplished, What Next For Java

on YouTube ↗56m

" summary

Java moves to a six-month release cadence and already ships concrete changes: JDK 9 lists 85 new features, JDK 10 adds local variable type inference (var) and removes hundreds of legacy flags (366 -XX options), and the module system surfaces 97 modules with tools like jlink runtime creation to build minimal runtimes. JDK 11 makes Flight Recorder open source, introduces the Epsilon no-op GC for testing, and shifts LTS and commercial support so OpenJDK builds under GPL with classpath exception become the free production option.
