This chapter provides an overview of the future development of the Java platform, beyond Java 11. We will look at what is planned for Java 19.3(12) and 19.9(13) and what further changes we are likely to see in the future. We will start with a brief overview of the JEP.
Specifically, this chapter covers the following:
- JEP overview
