Java: To infinity and beyond
summary
Java ships Java 25 and is already on early access for Java 26 with GA slated for March 17; the project moves to a six‑month release cadence to reduce latency and deliver the same three‑year innovation in smaller steps. Ecosystem specifics: ~12–14 million Java developers, ~2 million Java‑certified engineers, 413–415 Java Champions, and a dev.java playground plus a VS Code Java plugin with ~5 million downloads for students and fast experimentation. Preview features require opt‑in and OpenJDK accepts independent contributors.
