Java version history

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Java language has undergone several changes since JDK 1.0 as well as numerous additions of classes and packages to the standard library. Since J2SE 1.4, the evolution of the Java language has been governed by the Java Community Process (JCP), which uses Java Specification Requests (JSRs) to propose and specify additions and changes to the Java platform. The language is specified by the Java Language Specification (JLS); changes to the JLS are managed under JSR 901.

In addition to the language changes, much more dramatic changes have been made to the Java Class Library over the years, which has grown from a few hundred classes in JDK 1.0 to over three thousand in J2SE 5. Entire new APIs, such as Swing and Java2D, have been introduced, and many of the original JDK 1.0 classes and methods have been deprecated. Some programs allow conversion of Java programs from one version of the Java platform to an older one (for example Java 5.0 backported to 1.4) (see Java backporting tools).

After the Java 7 release, Oracle promised to go back to a 2-year release cycle.[1] However, in 2013, Oracle announced that they would delay Java 8 by one year, in order to fix bugs related to Java security.[2]

Java 8 is the only publicly supported version, while after public support periods of older versions has ended, non-public updates have been issued for Java 7 and earlier.

JDK Alpha and Beta (1995)

Alpha and Beta Java public releases had highly unstable APIs and ABIs. The supplied Java web browser was named WebRunner.

JDK 1.0 (January 23, 1996)

Originally called Oak. Initial release[3][4] The first stable version, JDK 1.0.2, is called Java 1.[4]

JDK 1.1 (February 19, 1997)

Major additions included:[5]

J2SE 1.2 (December 8, 1998)

Codename Playground. This and subsequent releases through J2SE 5.0 were rebranded retrospectively Java 2 and the version name "J2SE" (Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition) replaced JDK to distinguish the base platform from J2EE (Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition) and J2ME (Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition). This was a very significant release of Java as it tripled the size of the Java platform to 1520 classes in 59 packages. Major additions included:[6]

J2SE 1.3 (May 8, 2000)

Codename Kestrel. The most notable changes were:[7][8]

J2SE 1.4 (February 6, 2002)

Codename Merlin. This was the first release of the Java platform developed under the Java Community Process as JSR 59. Major changes included:[9][10]

Language changes
Library improvements

Public support and security updates for Java 1.4 ended in October 2008. Paid security updates for Oracle customers ended in February 2013. [11]

J2SE 5.0 (September 30, 2004)

Codename Tiger. Originally numbered 1.5, which is still used as the internal version number. The number was changed to "better reflect the level of maturity, stability, scalability and security of the J2SE."[12] This version was developed under JSR 176.

J2SE 5.0 entered its end-of-public-updates period on April 8, 2008; updates are no longer available to the public as of November 3, 2009. Updates were available to paid Oracle customers until May 2015.[13]

Tiger added a number of significant new language features:[14][15]

  • Generics: Provides compile-time (static) type safety for collections and eliminates the need for most typecasts (type conversion). (Specified by JSR 14.)
  • Metadata: Also called annotations; allows language constructs such as classes and methods to be tagged with additional data, which can then be processed by metadata-aware utilities. (Specified by JSR 175.)
  • Autoboxing/unboxing: Automatic conversions between primitive types (such as int) and primitive wrapper classes (such as Integer). (Specified by JSR 201.)
  • Enumerations: The enum keyword creates a typesafe, ordered list of values (such as Day.MONDAY, Day.TUESDAY, etc.). Previously this could only be achieved by non-typesafe constant integers or manually constructed classes (typesafe enum pattern). (Specified by JSR 201.)
  • Varargs: The last parameter of a method can now be declared using a type name followed by three dots (e.g. void drawtext(String... lines)). In the calling code any number of parameters of that type can be used and they are then placed in an array to be passed to the method, or alternatively the calling code can pass an array of that type.
  • Enhanced for each loop: The for loop syntax is extended with special syntax for iterating over each member of either an array or any Iterable, such as the standard Collection classes. (Specified by JSR 201.)
  • Improved semantics of execution for multithreaded Java programs. The new Java memory model addresses issues of complexity, effectiveness, and performance of previous specifications.[16]
  • Static imports

There were also the following improvements to the standard libraries:

Java 5 is the last release of Java to officially support the Microsoft Windows 9x line (Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME),[18] while Windows Vista is the newest version of Windows that J2SE 5 was supported on prior to Java 5 going end of life in October 2009.[11]

Java 5 Update 5 (1.5.0_05) is the last release of Java to work without any problems on Windows NT 4.0.[19]

Java 5 is the default version of Java installed on Apple Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). Java 6 can be installed and set as the default to be used on 64-bit (Core 2 Duo and higher) processor machines.[20] Java 6 is also supported by 32-bit machines running Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard).

Java SE 6 (December 11, 2006)

Codename Mustang. As of this version, Sun replaced the name "J2SE" with Java SE and dropped the ".0" from the version number.[21] Internal numbering for developers remains 1.6.0.[22] This version was developed under JSR 270.

During the development phase, new builds including enhancements and bug fixes were released approximately weekly. Beta versions were released in February and June 2006, leading up to a final release that occurred on December 11, 2006.

Major changes included in this version:[23][24]

  • Support for older Win9x versions dropped; unofficially, Java 6 Update 7 was the last release of Java shown to work on these versions of Windows.[citation needed] This is believed[by whom?] to be due to the major changes in Update 10.
  • Scripting Language Support (JSR 223): Generic API for tight integration with scripting languages, and built-in Mozilla JavaScript Rhino integration
  • Dramatic performance improvements for the core platform,[25][26] and Swing.
  • Improved Web Service support through JAX-WS (JSR 224)
  • JDBC 4.0 support (JSR 221).
  • Java Compiler API (JSR 199): an API allowing a Java program to select and invoke a Java Compiler programmatically.
  • Upgrade of JAXB to version 2.0: Including integration of a StAX parser.
  • Support for pluggable annotations (JSR 269)[27]
  • Many GUI improvements, such as integration of SwingWorker in the API, table sorting and filtering, and true Swing double-buffering (eliminating the gray-area effect).
  • JVM improvements include: synchronization and compiler performance optimizations, new algorithms and upgrades to existing garbage collection algorithms, and application start-up performance.

Java 6 reached the end of its supported life in February 2013, at which time all public updates, including security updates, were scheduled to be stopped.[28][29] Oracle released one more update to Java 6 in March 2013, which patched some security vulnerabilities.[30]

Java 6 updates

After Java 6 release, Sun, and later Oracle, released several updates which, while not changing any public API, enhanced end-user usability or fixed bugs.[31]

Release Release date Highlights
Java SE 6 Update 1 2007-05-07
Java SE 6 Update 2 2007-07-03
Java SE 6 Update 3 2007-10-03

Java SE 6 Update 6 2008-04-16
Java SE 6 Update 7[32] Unofficially, Java SE 6 Update 7 (1.6.0.7) is the last version of Java that was shown to be working on the Win9x family of operating systems[citation needed]
Java SE 6 Update 10[33] 2008-10-15 HotSpot VM 11. Major changes for this update include:
  • Java Deployment Toolkit, a set of JavaScript functions to ease the deployment of applets and Java Web Start applications.[34]
  • Java Kernel, a small installer including only the most commonly used JRE classes. Other packages are downloaded when needed.
  • Enhanced updater.
  • Enhanced versioning and pack200 support: server-side support is no longer required.[35]
  • Java Quick Starter, to improve cold start-up time.
  • Improved performance of Java2D graphics primitives on Windows, using Direct3D and hardware acceleration.
  • A new Swing look and feel called Nimbus and based on synth.[36]
  • Next-Generation Java Plug-In: applets now run in a separate process and support many features of Web Start applications.[37]

The -XX:+DoEscapeAnalysis option directs the HotSpot JIT compiler to use escape analysis to determine if local objects can be allocated on the stack instead of the heap.[45]

Some developers have noticed an issue introduced in this release which causes debuggers to miss breakpoints seemingly randomly.[46] Sun has a corresponding bug, which is tracking the issue. The workaround applies to the Client and Server VMs.[47] Using the -XX:+UseParallelGC option will prevent the failure. Another workaround is to roll back to update 13, or to upgrade to update 16.

Java SE 7 (July 28, 2011)

Java 7 (codename Dolphin[96]) is a major update that was launched on July 7, 2011[97] and was made available for developers on July 28, 2011.[98] The development period was organized into thirteen milestones; on June 6, 2011, the last of the thirteen milestones was finished.[99][100] On average, 8 builds (which generally included enhancements and bug fixes) were released per milestone. The feature list at the OpenJDK 7 project lists many of the changes.

Additions in Java 7 include:[101]

  • Strings in switch[106]
  • Automatic resource management in try-statement[107]
  • Improved type inference for generic instance creation, aka the diamond operator <>[108]
  • Simplified varargs method declaration[109]
  • Binary integer literals[110]
  • Allowing underscores in numeric literals[111]
  • Catching multiple exception types and rethrowing exceptions with improved type checking[112]
  • Concurrency utilities under JSR 166[113]
  • New file I/O library (defined by JSR 203) adding support for multiple file systems, file metadata and symbolic links. The new packages are java.nio.file, java.nio.file.attribute and java.nio.file.spi[114][115]
  • Timsort is used to sort collections and arrays of objects instead of merge sort
  • Library-level support for elliptic curve cryptography algorithms
  • An XRender pipeline for Java 2D, which improves handling of features specific to modern GPUs
  • New platform APIs for the graphics features originally implemented in version 6u10 as unsupported APIs[116]
  • Enhanced library-level support for new network protocols, including SCTP and Sockets Direct Protocol
  • Upstream updates to XML and Unicode
  • Java Deployment Rulesets[117]

Lambda (Java's implementation of lambda functions), Jigsaw (Java's implementation of modules), and part of Coin were dropped from Java 7, and released as part of Java 8 (except for Jigsaw, which will be in Java 9).[118][119]

Java 7 was the default version to download on java.com from April 2012 until Java 8 was released.[120]

Java SE 8 (March 18, 2014)

Java 8 was released on 18 March 2014,[173][174] and included some features that were planned for Java 7 but later deferred.[175]

Work on features was organized in terms of JDK Enhancement Proposals (JEPs).[176]

  • JSR 335, JEP 126: Language-level support for lambda expressions (officially, lambda expressions; unofficially, closures) under Project Lambda[177] and default methods (virtual extension methods)[178][179][180] which make multiple inheritance possible in Java. There was an ongoing debate in the Java community on whether to add support for lambda expressions.[181][182] Sun later declared that lambda expressions would be included in Java and asked for community input to refine the feature.[183] Supporting lambda expressions also allows the performance of functional-style operations on streams of elements, such as MapReduce-inspired transformations on collections. Default methods allow an author of API to add new methods to an interface without breaking the old code using it. It also provides a way to use multiple inheritance, multiple inheritance of implementation more precisely.
  • JSR 223, JEP 174: Project Nashorn, a JavaScript runtime which allows developers to embed JavaScript code within applications
  • JSR 308, JEP 104: Annotation on Java Types[184]
  • Unsigned Integer Arithmetic[185]
  • JSR 337, JEP 120: Repeating annotations[186]
  • JSR 310, JEP 150: Date and Time API[187]
  • JEP 178: Statically-linked JNI libraries[188]
  • JEP 153: Launch JavaFX applications (direct launching of JavaFX application JARs)[189]
  • JEP 122: Remove the permanent generation[190]

Java 8 is not supported on Windows XP[191] but as of JDK 8 update 25, it can still be installed and run under Windows XP.[192] Previous updates of JDK 8 could be run under XP, but had to be installed after a forced installation by directly unzipping files from the installation executable.

From October 2014, Java 8 has been the default version to download from the official website.[193]

Java SE 9

At JavaOne 2011, Oracle discussed features they hope to have in the initial release of Java 9 scheduled for 22 September 2016,[204] including better support for multi-gigabyte heaps, better native code integration, and a self-tuning JVM.[205]

There are plans to add automatic parallelization using OpenCL.[1][212]

Java SE 10

There is speculation of introducing objects without identity (value types),[213][214] as well as moving towards 64-bit addressable arrays to support large data sets somewhere around 2018.[1]

Implementations

OpenJDK is a free and open source implementation of the Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE).

Before OpenJDK, several Free Java implementations were made by companies and groups such as Apache Harmony. IBM also provides Java implementations,[215] and RedHat provides it through the IcedTea project: a build and integration project for OpenJDK.

  192. ^ Henrik Stahl (2014-07-11). "Updated: The future of Java on Windows XP". Oracle Corporation. Retrieved 2014-11-11. JDK 8 is not supported on Windows XP. Early versions of JDK 8 had known issues with the installer on Windows XP that prevented it from installing without manual intervention. This was resolved in JDK 8 Update 25. The important point here is that we can no longer provide complete guarantees for Java on Windows XP, since the OS is no longer being updated by Microsoft. We strongly recommend that users upgrade to a newer version of Windows that is still supported by Microsoft in order to maintain a stable and secure environment.
