How to Participate in the Future of Java
summary
Java now ships every six months with the JCP governing the Java X namespace and requiring three deliverables for compatibility: spec, reference implementation, and TCK. Recent counts: Java 9 bundled ~100+ JEPs, Java 10 had 12 JEPs, Java 14 had 15, and Java 15 ships Sept 15 with early access builds already available. Ongoing projects include Valhalla, Panama, Loom and the JDK migration to GitHub; participation routes are joining mailing lists, testing early access builds, and contributing fixes like adopting the var keyword or improving docs and tests.
