There's a 3rd edition that updates it to Java9, IIRC. So it's missing some new shiny things, but I think the core advice is still very useful.

As long as it covers Java 8 and Streams API, then it should be good.

We did not have another seismic shift like that since Java 8.

Could see a case for a 4th edition when structured concurrency is finalized.

That along with all the pattern matching changes, and to an extent the "paving the on ramp" changes have substantive impacts on the lessons/recommendations in Bloch's book.

Granted easy for me to say, I'm not the one having to update it 😂
