Download Java 18 - The Java Platform, Standard Edition 18 Development Kit (JDK 18) is a feature release of the Java SE platform. It contains new features and enhancements in many functional areas.

Java is widely used and heavily relied on, to put it mildly. It is a major part of our software infrastructure. Despite having a weighty obligation to stability, the Java platform has managed to remain responsive to changing circumstances. The creativity of the people who use Java is part of the reason. Java features an

Java Development Kit 19, due this September, has just had a seventh feature proposed for it: JDK 19: structured concurrency, to simplify multithreaded programming. Structured concurrency joins six previous features including record patterns, a preview of a foreign function and memory API, and support for the open source Linux/RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA). JDK 19, or

Three nerds discussing tech, Apple, programming, and loosely related matters.

JDK 18 goes GA next week, and though its not a Long-Term Support release, it does implement nine JEPs, a few of which, say two of our favorite Java mavens, are well worth a look.

With Java 18 due as a production release in two weeks, Java 19 is beginning to take shape. The next release of standard Java is set to move forward with an API to interoperate with code outside the Java runtime, the first of many potential proposals that could cover capabilities ranging from universal generics to

The next version of standard Java seems poised to include a foreign function and memory API, a vector API, pattern matching for switch expressions, universal generics, and more.

Proposal would implement region pinning in the default GC so that Java threads would never have to wait for a garbage collection operation to complete.

Java garbage collection – the reallocation of memory through deletion of unused objects – would be improved through a proposal being considered by the developers of standard Java. A JDK Enhancement Proposal (JEP) being floated in the OpenJDK Java community calls for reducing latency by implementing region pinning to the G1 (Garbage-First) garbage collector, so […]
