It’s Plan B for Java

By , About.com GuideSeptember 24, 2010

Follow me on:

The other week, Mark Reinhold, Chief Architect of the Java Platform Group at Oracle, posted two possibilities for the release of JDK 7 on his blog. The response he got was overwhelmingly for Plan B - Release JDK 7 in mid 2011 / JDK 8 in late 2012. This means the current plans for the next JDK have been split into two with JDK 7 now likely to feature:

  • InvokeDynamic byte code and supporting features for dynamic languages
  • Fork/Join Framework and related concurrency and collections API enhancements for improved multi-threaded Java code
  • Small Language Enhancements (most of "Project Coin") for higher developer productivity and cleaner, more concise Java code
  • Session Description Protocol (SDP) and Stream Control Transport Protocol (SCTP) support
  • New I/O APIs - A flexible filesystem API, and asynchronous I/O
  • Support for updated standards - Unicode, localization, security, cryptography, XML and JDBC
  • JVM performance improvements
