11 Java Enhancement Proposals (JEP’s) u Aims to reduce packages size u Split the JDK in parts – Modules u More control over packages u Eliminates the “Jar Hell” u Main module (Root) is java.base u It’s Java – 100% backwards compatible 9
at Java 9 u Substitute Concurrent Mark Swap (CMS) – Stop the world u Smaller pause time u Memory is split in regions - 1-32MB u Goal is to have 2048 regions (Heap) 9
variable type u Cannot be a class attribute u No relation with var/val from Scala/Kotlin u String name = “Rodrigo”; u var name = “Rodrigo”; u var myMap = new HashMap(); //Map<Object, Object>() u Must be initialized – var age; //Not valid u var var = “var”; 10
u Parallel G1 GC to improve full GC performance u AppCDS to improve start-up time u New API’s to create collections u List.copyOf(), Set.copyOf(), and Map.copyOf() u Stream API can collect data in an immutable collection u toUnmodifiableList(), toUnmodifiableSet(), and toUnmodifiableMap() 10
Experimental u Microbenchmark Suite - based on JMH u Default CDS Archives – Enhance JDK process to generate a CDS archive u Enhance to G1. Automatically return Java heap memory to the operating system when idle 12
know which object is null list.get(0).getName().trim(); u Where’s the null object? The list? Name? Cannot invoke "String.trim()" because the return value of "dev.graciano.Pessoa.getName()" is null 14
