Java 11-21 Evolution
Is Java still relevant and worth learning in 2024?
We will look at Java’s evolution and impact on software development to show why it matters more than ever.
Java is more than a language.

JEP 395: Records

Point(int x, int y) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
int x() { return x; }
int y() { return y; }
public boolean equals(Object o) {
if (!(o instanceof Point)) return false;
Point other = (Point) o;
return other.x == x && other.y == y;
}
public int hashCode() {
return Objects.hash(x, y);
}
public String toString() {
return String.format("Point[x=%d, y=%d]", x, y);
}
}- It is a common complaint that "Java is too verbose" or has "too much ceremony." Some of the worst offenders are classes that are nothing more than immutable data carriers for a handful of values.
- Properly writing such a data-carrier class involves a lot of low-value, repetitive, error-prone code: constructors, accessors, equals, hashCode, toString, etc.
- For example, a class Point to carry x and y coordinates inevitably ends up like this:
@_tamanm

|
|
JEP 395: Records
Continue
record Point(int x, int y) { }- Providing records classes that act as transparent carriers for immutable data. Records can be considered nominal tuples.
-
By reducing the ceremony of Java by cutting boilerplate code. So the Point class could be re-written as:
Constructors for record classes
- Canonical Constructor:
- Compact Constructor:
record Point(int x, int y){
Point(int x, int y){
if(x == 0 && y == 0)
throw new IllegalArgumentException(String.format("(%d,%d)", x, y));
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
}record Point(int x, int y){
Point{
if(x == 0 && y == 0)
throw new IllegalArgumentException (String.format("(%d,%d)", x, y));
}
}List<Merchant> findTopMerchants(List<Merchant> merchants, int month) {
// Local record
record MerchantSales(Merchant merchant, double sales) {}
return merchants.stream()
.map(merchant -> new MerchantSales(merchant, computeSales(merchant, month)))
.sorted((m1, m2) -> Double.compare(m2.sales(), m1.sales()))
.map(MerchantSales::merchant)
.collect(toList());
}Local Record Classes

JEP 394: Pattern Matching for instanceof
- Pattern matching allows common logic in a program, namely the conditional extraction of components from objects, to be expressed more concisely and safely.
- The use of pattern matching in instanceof should significantly reduce the overall number of explicit casts in Java programs. Consider the following equals() methods:
public boolean equals(Object o) {
return (o instanceof CaseInsensitiveString) &&
((CaseInsensitiveString) o).s.equalsIgnoreCase(s);
}public boolean equals(Object o) {
return (o instanceof CaseInsensitiveString cis) &&
cis.s.equalsIgnoreCase(s);
}public boolean equals(Object o) {
if (!(o instanceof Point))
return false;
Point other = (Point) o;
return x == other.x
&& y == other.y;
}public boolean equals(Object o) {
return (o instanceof Point other)
&& x == other.x
&& y == other.y;
}//More complex examples
if (obj instanceof String str && str.length() > 5)
{ .. str.contains(..) .. }Java 17 New Features (LTS)

JEP 409: Sealed Classes
- Sealed classes and interfaces restrict which other classes and interfaces may extend or implement them. Therefore they can be extended or implemented only by those classes and interfaces permitted to do so.
- Allow the author of a class or interface to control the code responsible for implementing it.
package com.example.geometry;
public abstract sealed class Shape
permits Circle, Rectangle, Square, WeirdShape { ... }
public final class Circle extends Shape { ... }
public sealed class Rectangle extends Shape
permits TransparentRectangle, FilledRectangle { ... }
public final class TransparentRectangle extends Rectangle { ... }
public final class FilledRectangle extends Rectangle { ... }
public final class Square extends Shape { ... }
public non-sealed class WeirdShape extends Shape { ... }- Provide a more declarative way than access modifiers to restrict the use of a superclass.
- Support future directions in pattern matching by providing a foundation for analysis of patterns.
A class is sealed by applying the sealed modifier to its declaration. Then, after any extends and implements clauses, the permits clause specifies the classes permitted to extend the sealed class.
@_tamanm
|
|
|
JEP 409: Sealed Classes
Here is another classic example of a class hierarchy with a known set of subclasses: modeling mathematical expressions.
Sealed classes work well with record classes. Record classes are implicitly final, so a sealed hierarchy of record classes is slightly more concise than the example above:
package com.example.expression;
public sealed interface Expr
permits ConstantExpr, PlusExpr, TimesExpr, NegExpr { ... }
public final class ConstantExpr implements Expr { ... }
public final class PlusExpr implements Expr { ... }
public final class TimesExpr implements Expr { ... }
public final class NegExpr implements Expr { ... }package com.example.expression;
public sealed interface Expr
permits ConstantExpr, PlusExpr, TimesExpr, NegExpr { ... }
public record ConstantExpr(int i) implements Expr { ... }
public record PlusExpr(Expr a, Expr b) implements Expr { ... }
public record TimesExpr(Expr a, Expr b) implements Expr { ... }
public record NegExpr(Expr e) implements Expr { ... }Sealing and record classes
The combination of sealed classes and record classes is sometimes referred to as algebraic data types: Record classes allow us to express product types, and sealed classes allow us to express sum types.

JEP 392: Packaging Tool
- Provide the jpackage tool for packaging self-contained Java applications.
-
Supports native packaging formats to give end-users a natural installation experience. These formats include:
- msi and exe on Windows,
- pkg, and dmg on macOS, and
- deb and rpm on Linux.
- By default, jpackage produces a package in the format most appropriate for the system on which it is run.
Suppose you have an application composed of JAR files, all in a directory named lib, and that lib/main.jar contains the main class. Then the command:
[mtaman]:~ jpackage --name myapp --input lib --main-jar main.jarmohamed_taman -- -bash

p.from().x(), p.from().y(), p.to().x(), p.to().y());

System.out.printf("o is a path: %d/%d -> %d/%d%n", x1, y1, x2, y2);

case Path p when p.from() instanceof Position2D from
&& p.to() instanceof Position2D to ->
System.out.printf("o is a 2D path: %d/%d -> %d/%d%n",
from.x(), from.y(), to.x(), to.y());
case Path p when p.from() instanceof Position3D from
&& p.to() instanceof Position3D to ->
System.out.printf("o is a 3D path: %d/%d/%d -> %d/%d/%d%n",
from.x(), from.y(), from.z(), to.x(), to.y(), to.z());
// other cases

else if (obj instanceof String s) System.out.println(s.toLowerCase());

// Example 2: Map.computeIfAbsent() – this time, we don’t use k:
map.computeIfAbsent(key, k -> new ArrayList<>()).add(value);// In Java 21
// Here is the exception example with an unnamed variable:
try {
int number = Integer.parseInt(string);
} catch (NumberFormatException _) {
System.err.println("Not a number");
}
// And Map.computeIfAbsent()
map.computeIfAbsent(key, _ -> new ArrayList<>()).add(value);Unnamed Variable

Java 11-21 Evolution
By Mohamed Taman
Java 11-21 Evolution
Is Java a tired relic of the past that’s ready for the programming language museum, or is it still a vital weapon in every good developer’s arsenal? This session will examine the evolution of Java from 11 to 21 and the impactful features that make your life easier. Java has been a powerful and widely used programming language for over two decades. Java has transformed the software development landscape and remains dominant in modern software development. With every year seeing new young pretenders to the crown emerge, is Java still relevant and worth learning in 2023? We will look at Java’s evolution and impact on software development to show why it matters more than ever.
