JDK-related drafted proposals

This section covers several JDK-related proposals that, at the time of this book's publication, were in the draft phase. That suggests they might not be fully analyzed or might even be cancelled. That being said, it is likely that each of these will move from drafted, to submitted, and then to targeted for the Java 10 platform.

Draft proposals covered in this section are as follows:

  • Finalization promptness
  • Java memory model
  • Foreign function interface
  • Isolated methods
  • Reduce metaspace waste
  • Improve IPv6 support
  • Unboxed argument lists for method handles
  • Enhanced MandelblotSet Demo Using Value Types
  • Efficient Array Comparison Intrinsics
