Significant Changes from Java 9

  • JEP 286: Syntax: added local-variable type inference (var).

  • Optional.get deprecated in favour of Optional.orElseThrow

  • JEP 319: Provide a default set of root Certification Authority (CA) certificates in the JDK. (part of the OpenJDK convergence exercise).

  • Version number system changed again.

  • JDK-8177290: APIs for creating unmodifiable collections (probably replaces some stuff from Guava).

  • JDK-8186535: removed some stuff from SecurityManager

  • JDK-8148371: removed policytool

  • JDK-8159544: removed things from com.sun.security.auth

  • Improved Docker Container Integration probably means that at least some people will want to use Java 10 as an execution environment for the IdP.

  • Copy factories for collections, optimising for already-unmodifiable structures. Makes the various "unmodifiable" collection wrappers mostly obsolete.

  • Stream collectors for collections.
