The current state
• Starting with Java 11 all the new changes in the
Java ecosystem will affect developers
• Mostly no-one cared about Java 9 or 10
• With 11 mostly all developers need to take action

8. Karakun DevHub_
@HendrikEbbersdev.karakun.com
The current state
• Before we have a deeper look at the new changes
we should have a look at the history of Java
• Some of the "new" stuff is already part of Java
since years
• Some decisions done for a decade affect us now

9. @HendrikEbbers

10. Karakun DevHub_

Let's go back to the 90th
• "Oak" (Object Application Kernel) / "The Green
Project" was developed in 1992
• This project evolved to Java in 1995
• The Duke was already the
mascot for the
Green Project

11. Karakun DevHub_
@HendrikEbbersdev.karakun.com
The first years
• Java 1 - Java 6 were released at SUN
• Java 1 was released 1996
• Java 6 was released 2006
• In 1998 the JCP (Java Community
Project) was formed

12. Karakun DevHub_
@HendrikEbbersdev.karakun.com
The takeover
• In 2009 SUN was bought by Oracle
• The Java community was really
afraid about this move
• Mostly no-one associated Oracle with
open source

13. Karakun DevHub_
@HendrikEbbersdev.karakun.com
The last years
• Oracle managed to provide
major updates of Java
• Continued to evolve Java by the JCP
• Not everything is perfect but much
better than it was expected

14. Karakun DevHub_

Java in a nutshell
Standard APIs
Tools
JVM

15. Karakun DevHub_
@HendrikEbbersdev.karakun.com
The JVM
• The "heart" of the Java platform
• Definition of Java language features
• Definition of Java runtime
• Since 2000 just-in-time-compilation (HotSpot)

16. Karakun DevHub_
@HendrikEbbersdev.karakun.com
The standard APIs
• Java Class Library (JCL) is a set of dynamically
loadable libraries
• Will be called at runtime
• Almost entirely written in Java (some JNI calls to
hardware & OS)

17. Karakun DevHub_
@HendrikEbbersdev.karakun.com
The standard APIs
• Since Java 9 the standard APIs are separated in
several modules java.se
java.sql.rowset
java.sql
java.xml
java.base
java.loggingjava.instrument java.datatransfer java.scripting
java.prefs
java.desktop
java.xml.crypto
java.compiler
java.rmi java.naming
java.security.sasl
java.management java.security.jgss

18. Karakun DevHub_
@HendrikEbbersdev.karakun.com
The (evil) private APIs
• Java contains some private Java APIs
• This APIs should not be used in framework /
application code
• Private APIs can be changed at anytime

19. Karakun DevHub_
@HendrikEbbersdev.karakun.com
The (evil) private APIs
• Some rules about private APIs
• Do not use anything besides the java.* package
• Swing and Graphics2D is located in the javax.*
package
• JavaFX is located in the javafx.* package

20. Karakun DevHub_
@HendrikEbbersdev.karakun.com
The tools
• Each Java distribution contains a large set of tools
• Some are part of OpenJDK
• Some are vendor specifc

21. Karakun DevHub_
@HendrikEbbersdev.karakun.com
The tools
• Basic tools like the "java" or "javac" command are
part of each JDK distribution
• Oracle added several tools to its Java distribution
that are not part of OpenJDK
• All this tools were developed closed source at
Oracle

22. Karakun DevHub_
@HendrikEbbersdev.karakun.com
The tools
• A good example is "Java WebStart"
• WebStart was never part of OpenJDK and
therefore was never part of OpenJDK builds
• WebStart was only delivered with Oracle JDK
builds

23. @HendrikEbbers
A commercial break -

24. @HendrikEbbers

25. Karakun DevHub_
@HendrikEbbersdev.karakun.com
The OpenJDK
• Most of you will already heard that Java is open
source
• The open source code of Java can be found in the
OpenJDK
• Currently quite old infrastructure

26. @HendrikEbbers
The new release train

27. Karakun DevHub_
@HendrikEbbersdev.karakun.com
The classical Java releases
• Up until Java 8 we had a flexible release train for
Java
• A new major version was released "when it's
done"
• This ended in delays and a a big bundle of new
features per release

28. Karakun DevHub_
@HendrikEbbersdev.karakun.com
The classical Java releases
• A version was available for several years
• Normally a version received updates even after
the next version was released
• Commercial LTS support was provided by Oracle
for legacy projects

• Last year Oracle announced new release train
• More flexible with fixed release dates
• A feature will be released "when it's done"
• Shorter lifetime of Java versions

The new release train
• Next to the new timeline the new release model
added some additional points
• Deprecated code was removed from Java
• @Deprecated has additional information

37. Karakun DevHub_
@HendrikEbbersdev.karakun.com
The new release train
A value of true indicates intent to
remove the annotated program
element in a future version.
@Deprecated(forRemoval = true)

38. Karakun DevHub_
@HendrikEbbersdev.karakun.com
The new release train
• Several APIs were already removed between Java
8 and Java 11
• CORBA
• JAXB
• Java Enterprise Annotations

39. Karakun DevHub_
@HendrikEbbersdev.karakun.com
The new release train
• Since Java will become more flexibel the users of
Java need to become more flexible, too
• Based on the changes dependencies and
application code need to be checked for a new
version
• Updates should be done more often

40. @HendrikEbbers
Commercial support

41. Karakun DevHub_
@HendrikEbbersdev.karakun.com
Commercial support
• Several companies offer commercial support for
Java
• Normally this contains LTS versions of specific
Java versions
• All companies share the same workflow

concrete versions will differ more an more
• Maybe security
fixes can be
handled in an open
branch in future
OpenJDK workflow

53. Karakun DevHub_
@HendrikEbbersdev.karakun.com
• Next to this the models for commercial support are
different
• It really makes
sense to have a
deeper look at the
price models

Commercial support
• All this support models are made for Java on the
server
• This works fine for classic mainframe applications
• Several models work fine for cloud computing
• No price model is made for Java on the client

Commercial support
• Next to Oracle we currently try to create a price
model for commercial support together with

• Is it planed / can you help
• Unnamed model
• automatic model
