9, 10, Java! Java current and next
summary
Java 11 is the new LTS and is the version to target for production upgrades; Oracle JDK binaries require a paid Java SE subscription for production use while OpenJDK (or AdoptOpenJDK/Zulu) is the recommended free baseline. The platform adds var type inference, JPMS modules, and a shebang-enabled single-file launch; G1 becomes the default GC (string deduping halved heap in one reported startup). JavaFX and some tools move out of the JDK; VisualVM and Flight Recorder are now separate open-source projects.
