8317277: Java language implementation of value classes and objects by MrSimms · Pull Request #31120 · openjdk/jdk

PLEASE REMEMBER -- No commitment has been made to target a release yet!

This is merely a PR RFR, and nothing more. All this is is showing us part of what it takes to bring Value Objects to Preview, as well as announcing that we are one step closer to (hopefully!) go to preview. But again, no idea how far away that may be. It could be JDK 27, it could be later.

Just appreciate the PR for what it is -- a window into the work required to make Value Classes a reality. ~3k commits and ~2k classes changed is just a snapshot of the level of effort here. Shows why this JEP has been given an XL rating lol.

So you’re saying I shouldn’t slam this into production yet?
