The document summarizes new features in JDK 10 including a predictable 3-year LTS release cycle, new features for unmodifiable collections, local variable type inference, application class-data sharing to reduce memory footprint, and experimental features like JVMCI and container awareness. It also demonstrates some of the new features and provides resources for learning more.

2. NEW RELEASE CYCLENEW RELEASE CYCLE
Predictable
LTS every 3 years
… but only for paying
customers
New Java every six months, Paradise Lost not

3. OPTIONALOPTIONAL
orElseThrow() - a preferred synonymous for
get()

4. UNMODIFIABLE COLLECTIONSUNMODIFIABLE COLLECTIONS
Some new goodies in the unmodifiable collections
introduced in 9
Good by Stuart Marks during Devoxx 2017talk

5. COPYOF()COPYOF()
copyOf() - create shallow unmodifiable copy (if
necessary)
List.copyOf(Collection<E> source)
Set.copyOf(Collection<E> source)
Map.copyOf(Map<K, V> source)

6. COLLECTORSCOLLECTORS
Collectors.toUnmodifiableList()
Collectors.toUnmodifiableSet()
Collectors.toUnmodifiableMap(keyMapper
valueMapper)
Collectors.toUnmodifiableMap(keyMapper
valueMapper, mergeFunction)

7. JEP 286: LOCAL-VARIABLE TYPEJEP 286: LOCAL-VARIABLE TYPE
INFERENCEINFERENCE
aka var
its not a keyword
only the right-hand side is considered
Everybody say non-denotable type with
me

8. EXAMPLESEXAMPLES
var list = new ArrayList<String>();
var map = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
for (var entry : map.entrySet()) {
var key = entry.getKey();
var value = entry.getValue();
}
var now = Instant.now(); // good - Instant type is obvious

9. LEARN FROM OTHERSLEARN FROM OTHERS
If you know people using C#, scala or any
other language that have type inference for ages
ask them what they do and why
do not use var for primitive types
do not use var if the type is not obvious
factory methods like Instant.now() and
UUID.randomUUID() are ok.

13. CREATE CLASS LIST FOR APPCDSCREATE CLASS LIST FOR APPCDS
Generates a simple text file (class name per line)
java -Xshare:off -XX:+UseAppCDS
-XX:DumpLoadedClassList=classes.lst
-cp CLASSPATH demo.App

14. DUMP APPCDS ARCHIVEDUMP APPCDS ARCHIVE
Dumps loaded classes in a binary archive
java -Xshare:dump -XX:+UseAppCDS
-XX:SharedClassListFile=classes.lst
-XX:SharedArchiveFile=classes.jsa
-cp CLASSPATH demo.App

15. USE APPCDSUSE APPCDS
On production use -Xshare:auto
java -Xshare:on -XX:+UseAppCDS
-XX:SharedClassListFile=classes.lst
-XX:SharedArchiveFile=classes.jsa
-cp CLASSPATH demo.App

16. TROUBLESHOOTINGTROUBLESHOOTING
classpath mismatch - classpath during -
Xshare:dump must be the same as, or be a prefix
of, the classpath during -Xshare:on. Use -
Xlog:class+path=info to analyze the error.
JVM may fail to map the memory file (e.g. ASLR). For
such cases using -Xshare:auto is recommended.
list classes loaded from AppCDS archive -
Xlog:class+load=info

17. WHAT’S MISSINGWHAT’S MISSING
non standardized archive storage
format
no support for --module-path yet
in oracle jdk its still commercial feature
