JDK 20 delivers language improvements from OpenJDK project Amber (Record Patterns and Pattern Matching for Switch) enhancements from OpenJDK Project Panama to interconnect Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and native code (Foreign Function & Memory API and Vector API) and features related to Project Loom (Scoped Values, Virtual Threads, and Structured Concurrency), which will dramatically streamline the process of writing, maintaining, and observing high-throughput, concurrent applications. The majority of the updates are follow-up features improving on functionality introduced in earlier releases. The latest Java Development Kit (JDK) provides updates and improvements with seven JDK Enhancement Proposals (JEPs). With the support provided by Oracle’s ongoing Java technology leadership and community stewardship, Java has never been more relevant as a contemporary language and platform that helps developers improve productivity.” “The innovative new enhancements in Java 20 reflect the vision and invaluable efforts the global Java community has contributed throughout Java’s existence. “For more than 25 years, Java has empowered developers to design and build the next generation of robust, scalable, and secure applications,” said Georges Saab, senior vice president of development, Java Platform and chair, OpenJDK Governing Board, Oracle. Oracle is showcasing the latest capabilities in Java 20 during the Java Developer Day that takes place today at the Oracle DevLive Level Up event, which runs March 20-23 at Redwood Shores, CA and online. Java 20 (Oracle JDK 20) delivers thousands of performance, stability, and security improvements, including platform enhancements that will help developers improve productivity and drive innovation and growth across their organizations. The table below lists packages that are comprised in each profile.Oracle today announced the availability of Java 20, the latest version of the world’s number one programming language and development platform.

Each profile specifies a particular set of Java API packages and contains all of the APIs in profiles smaller than itself: compact1 is a subset of compact2, which is a subset of compact3, which in its turn is a subset of the full JRE. Three profiles that have been defined so far are named compact1, compact2, and compact3.
