• Local Variable Kind Interface

It improves the Java language to extend kind interface to statements of local variables with initializers. The intent is to decrease the ‘service’ that is related to coding though maintaining an assurance to static type safety.

• Garbage Collector Interface

This feature improves the source-code isolation of various garbage collectors by introducing a clean garbage collector. The main objective is improved modularity for inner garbage collection code in the HotSpot virtual machine and making it easier to enhance a new garbage collector to a HotSpot.

• Consolidating the JDK Forecast into a Single Repository


It combines various repositories of the JDK forecast into a single repository with the intention of simplifying and streamlining web development. The code base, till now, is broken into numerous reports that can cause difficulties with source-code management.
