Java Magazine New Edition: Java Present and Future
<p>There is a lot happening in Java, and in this issue we do our best to make the state of Java as clear as possible. We begin with a survey (<a href="http://ora.cl/Vq6di" target="_blank">page 15</a>) of Java developers. The survey covers JDK, tools in use, processes, and finally a profile of Java developers.</p>
<p>We follow that up with a look at Java 11 (<a href="http://ora.cl/Vq6di" target="_blank">page 39</a>), which was released in September: what’s in this release that you need to know about—such as changes to lambda syntax, a new HTTP client, and the updated WebSocket interface. The Java 11 release was the first in several years not to include JavaFX, which has been spun out from the JDK. This means that JavaFX can evolve on its own timeline, which is discussed (<a href="http://ora.cl/Vq6di" target="_blank">page 62</a>) by Johan Vos, one of its principal developers.</p>
<p>We also examine upcoming technology from the Valhalla project (<a href="http://ora.cl/Vq6di" target="_blank">page 56</a>), which promises to make it far easier and faster to access primitive data types. This performance enhancement will be particularly welcome when accessing objects in arrays, as Ben Evans explains in his deep look inside the JVM.</p>
<p>Finally, the product management team for Java explains recent changes (<a href="http://ora.cl/Vq6di" target="_blank">page 52</a>) to the licensing model. In addition, we have a deep dive into the<br />
decorator design pattern (page 67), our quiz (page 78), and our book review (page 8), as well as our calendar of upcoming developer conferences and</p>
