Oracle today announced the availability of Java Platform, Standard
Edition 7 (Java SE 7), the first release of the Java platform under
Oracle stewardship.
Java SE 7 delivers:
- Language changes to help increase developer productivity and
simplify common programming tasks by reducing the amount of code
needed, clarifying syntax and making code easier to read. (JSR 334:
Project Coin)
- Improved support for dynamic languages (including: Ruby, Python
and JavaScript), resulting in substantial performance increases on
the JVM. (JSR 292: InvokeDynamic)
- A new multicore-ready API that enables developers to more easily
decompose problems into tasks that can then be executed in parallel
across arbitrary numbers of processor cores. (JSR 166: Fork/Join
Framework)
- A comprehensive I/O interface for working with file systems that
can access a wider array of file attributes and offer more
information when errors occur. (JSR 203: NIO.2)
- New networking and security features
- Expanded support for internationalization, including Unicode 6.0
support
- Updated versions of numerous libraries
- Strong backward compatibility of Java SE 7 with previous versions
of the platform preserves the skill sets of current Java software
developers and protects Java technology investments.
Developers interested in getting started immediately with the Java
SE 7 release can leverage the NetBeans Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
7.0, Eclipse Indigo with the additional Java SE 7 plug-in or
IntelliJ IDEA 10.5, which support the latest features of the Java SE
7 platform. Oracle JDeveloper support for JDK 7 is intended for a
release later this year. |
