  1. The Update • Java 9, known as the Java Platform Standard Edition version 9 earlier arrives! • The Java Development Kit (JDK) for the developers to download is available too!

  2. “This Christmas, a Toast for Java. Cheers to that!”

  3. How it Began • Java 9 turned into a long-term project, when Oracle first started mentoring this language taking over the Sun Microsystems way back in early 2010 • The very first task for Oracle, soon after the acquisition was to take stock of the situation within the code

  4. The Roadmap • The proposed roadmap leading to Java 9, shared way back has more or less been adhered to and here we are today with Java 9

  5. “Strong & Refreshing – Java the Cup of Good Taste!”

  6. The Top-Class Features with Java 9 for Custom Java Development • Java Standard Edition version 9 has been a major feature release for Java platform with various architectural and component level changes

  7. Modular Approached System (Jigsaw Project) • This latest version of Java comes with segmented modules like the JDK, JRE, JAR and more for the developers to implement in accordance to the demand of the application • Module system has the advantage of ease of testing, maintenance, etc. and restricts access to internal non-important API’s • The modularity approach of Java 9 has application packaging, which makes smaller parts of the JDK and reorganizes the source code into modules • JDK and JRE are enhanced to handle modules. Also the JavaFX UI and CSS API are a part of the module system approach

  8. Improvements in the Compiler for Java 9 code • The complier for Java 9 has several enhancements but important among them is the Ahead-of-Time (AOT) Compilation • It compiles the Java classes to native code before it is launched into the virtual machine • Just-in-time (JIT) compilation has performance related issues when it comes to large sized application, AOT helps to address these issues • Java-level JVM Compiler Interface (JVMCI) allows the compiler to be used as dynamic compiler by JVM • Complier written in Java become easy to maintain and improve for Java application development services

  9. REPL in Java 9 • The read-eval-print loop (REPL) tool, which was a long term goal for Java, is now added in Java 9 • Java’s REPL called jShell evaluates statements and expressions • Developers get feedback about the program before compilation by entering certain commands • The command-line tool’s capabilities involve tab completion and automatic addition of the terminal semi-colon wherever needed • jShell API allows jShell functionality in the IDE and other tools

  10. Streams API in Java 9 • Stream in Java enables developers to express the calculation related expression in a way that allows data parallelism • The Stream API adds methods that take and drop item conditionally from the Stream and iterate over the Stream elements, creating a Stream from nullable value along with expanding the Java SE API that also serve as Streams sources

  11. Code cache can be divided in Java 9 • In Java 9, the code cache can be divided thus improving the performance and allowing extension like fine-grained locking • This results in improved sweep times, thus improving the execution time and giving a push to custom Java development

  12. Better JavaScript backing in Java 9 • A lightweight runtime Javascript is being improvised in JDK9 under the Project Nashorn • This project aimed to implement efficient yet lightweight runtime Javascript • Project Nashorn was charged for enabling embedded Javascript in the Java projects • The API enables ECMA Script code analysis by IDEs and server-side frameworks without depending on the internal implementation classes

  13. HTTP/2 client API • The beta version of HTTP/2 is a part of JDK 9 which implements the upgrades in java to the web’s core HTTP protocol • HTTP/2 API can substitute the HttpURLConnection API, which had several issues if being designed with low-defunct protocols anteceding the HTTP/1

  14. Improved HTML5 and Unicode support in Java 9 • The JavaDoc tool has been enhanced to create HTML5 mark up • The Unicode 8.0 encoding standard is also well supported providing 8,000 characters, 10 blocks and 6 scripts

  15. DTLS security API in Java 9 • From security perspective, the DTLS (Datagram Transport Layer Security) API has added into JDK 9 • This protocol prevents message forgery, eavesdropping and tampering with the client-server interaction

  16. To Make a Long Story Short “Java @ 20+ Maintains Its Supremacy in the Enterprise World”

  17. Future Scope • Java is now planned to have a 6-month release calendar the next major release being called Java 18.3 • Followed by the next release Java 18.9 which will be 6 months later creating a lot of enthusiasm in enterprises offering Java application development services
