Future Changes to the JDK

The Java Development Kit is at core of the Java platform and is continually being updated with new capabilities and efficiencies realized with each release. Looking beyond Java 9, we see a multitude of possible changes to the JDK. Many of these changes will be implemented in Java 10 and others might be saved for later releases.

The changes to the JDK in Java 10 and beyond are presented in the following proposal categories:

  • Targeted for Java 10
