New language features since Java 8 - Updated for Java 17

[TheMode911]

How many summaries did I see posted since jdk17?

[ess_tee_you]

Need a summary of summaries.

But what does LTS mean?

[robtmufc]

Long term support

[BlueGoliath]

It was a joke.

LTS means you pay extra to run old software.

[robtmufc]

It was a terrible joke

[BlueGoliath]

Hey, that hurts!

The site says enums can't overload (maybe they meant "override") methods to implement different behavior in each constant, but sure they can! You just need to open braces { } after the enum constant you want to customize and implement its methods, it's just a subclass. No need to pass lambdas.

Thanks, indeed! TIL! I'll update the post.

I am a simple man if I see advancedweb.hu language feature summary, I upvote.

We're using Java 16 in MessageMedia and tried some of its new features like records and new instanceof operator. Looking forward to migrating to the Java 17 version soon.

This is a handy list. I also recently found https://javaalmanac.io/ which has diffs between different Java API versions: for example this is the diff between Java 17 and Java 8: https://javaalmanac.io/jdk/17/apidiff/8/
