Java Development Kit (JDK) 23, the next planned version of standard Java, is off and running, with five features now scheduled for the release. The latest addition is making the generational mode of the Z Garbage Collector the default mode.
Due September 17, JDK 23 also will include a vector API, which will be incubated for the eighth time, a second preview of stream gatherers, a second preview of a class-file API, and a preview of primitive types in patterns, instanceof, and switch. Early access builds for JDK 23 can be accessed from jdk.java.net.
