Java 9 Released

Question

The long wait of years ended Java 9 will provide a 'feature complete' platform including improvements in:

°Modularity
°Developer Convenience
°Strings
°Diagnostics
°JVM options
°Logging
°Javadoc
°JavaScript/HTTP
°Native Platform
°JavaFX
°Images
°Unicode
*The biggest improvement is its modularity, which should make the Java platform more scalable while improving its deployments on smaller devices.

Answer 1

Don't forget to update your ide as well ;)

Eclipse for example recommends Oxygen and needs an additional plugin for Java 9.

Answer 2

great 🤗
maybe Sololearn Java 9 course ? 😁

Answer 3

Thanks for the heads-up!

Great to see the updates to the core libraries :D

Unfortunately I don't know how to migrate IntelliJ projects to Java 9. But in Eclipse you need to migrate/convert them, because Java 9 requires some additional files for the module stuff. Might be the same for IntelliJ, but I don't know how to do it.

I would try to create a new Java 9 workspace and then import a copy of the project. Maybe there's a prompt then that asks if you want to convert the project.

Didn't Jetbrains publish instructions about migration to Java 9?

Answer 5

I already got the Java 9 Documentation...

@Tashi. Thanks.
But you agree I shouldn't test those IDEs (that are still in "daily development" to catch up with Java 9) on my system when I have deadlines to deliver certain projects (e.g. Oct. 1st)...
That is what I'm saying.

^-^

Answer 6

It is too early to port your development environment to Java 9, not to talk of refactoring your codes...

You got to exercise patience...!

It will still take time before the various IDEs completely respond to the modularity and other changes that comes with Java 9.

As for me, I'm not upgrading anything to Java 9 until next year, January (earliest)..., especially when I have major projects that I'm working on...

^-^

Answer 7

@Femyk Of course you should try to test when you've got the time to do so. Summer or Christmas break maybe :)
I guess big companies will have a team that takes care of the migration. And the devs have to be familiar with Java 9 just in time, that will need some planning too.

Answer 8

@Femyk
Not too early ;) Companies need to plan the migration and there is no other way to know how much work it is without testing. And which bugfixes are missing for the used components of course.

But I agree that you shouldn't migrate your project and expect that it runs immediately and you could publish a Java 9 based release soon ^^

Answer 9

wow 😄

Answer 10

nice one !!
thanks for the info !!

Answer 11

I really like Java, but the new version just makes everything feels a lot more complex and it's a bit of problem to me. As I see it, complexity leads to errors. Of course, those can be handled using programs like checkmarx but I think it's important to try and avoid those.
Good luck.

Answer 12

yeah I know!

feels good to actually start java and not be outdated with java8 (each have advantages though)

Answer 13

Thanks for information.
But I think the new update of java must have some bugs so user can continue with old version of java.

Answer 14

Do I need to update netbeans?
