Java version history

The Java language has undergone several changes since JDK 1.0 as well as numerous additions of classes and packages to the standard library. Since J2SE 1.4, the evolution of the Java language has been governed by the Java Community Process (JCP), which uses Java Specification Requests (JSRs) to propose and specify additions and changes to the Java platform. The language is specified by the Java Language Specification (JLS); changes to the JLS are managed under JSR 901.

In addition to the language changes, much more dramatic changes have been made to the Java Class Library over the years, which has grown from a few hundred classes in JDK 1.0 to over three thousand in J2SE 5. Entire new APIs, such as Swing and Java2D, have been introduced, and many of the original JDK 1.0 classes and methods have been deprecated. Some programs allow conversion of Java programs from one version of the Java platform to an older one (for example Java 5.0 backported to 1.4) (see Java backporting tools).

After the Java 7 release, Oracle promised to go back to a 2-year release cycle.[1] However, in 2013, Oracle announced that they would delay Java 8 by one year, in order to fix bugs related to Java security.[2]

Java 8 is the only publicly supported version, while after public support periods of older versions has ended, non-public updates have been issued for Java 7 and earlier.

JDK Alpha and Beta

The first alpha and beta Java public releases in 1995 had highly unstable APIs and ABIs. The supplied Java web browser was named WebRunner.

JDK 1.0

The first version was released on January 23, 1996 and called Oak.[3][4] The first stable version, JDK 1.0.2, is called Java 1.[4]

JDK 1.1

Major additions in the release on February 19, 1997 included:[5]

J2SE 1.2

Codename Playground. The release on December 8, 1998 and subsequent releases through J2SE 5.0 were rebranded retrospectively Java 2 and the version name "J2SE" (Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition) replaced JDK to distinguish the base platform from J2EE (Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition) and J2ME (Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition). This was a very significant release of Java as it tripled the size of the Java platform to 1520 classes in 59 packages. Major additions included:[7]

J2SE 1.3

Codename Kestrel. The most notable changes in the May 8th, 2000 release were:[8][9]

J2SE 1.4

Codename Merlin. The February 6th, 2002 release was the first release of the Java platform developed under the Java Community Process as JSR 59. Major changes included:[10][11]

Public support and security updates for Java 1.4 ended in October 2008. Paid security updates for Oracle customers ended in February 2013.[12]

J2SE 5.0

Codename Tiger. The release on September 30, 2004 was originally numbered 1.5, which is still used as the internal version number. The number was changed to "better reflect the level of maturity, stability, scalability and security of the J2SE".[13] This version was developed under JSR 176.

J2SE 5.0 entered its end-of-public-updates period on April 8, 2008; updates are no longer available to the public as of November 3, 2009. Updates were available to paid Oracle customers until May 2015.[14]

Tiger added a number of significant new language features:[15][16]

There were also the following improvements to the standard libraries:

Java 5 is the last release of Java to officially support the Microsoft Windows 98 and Windows ME,[19] while Windows Vista is the newest version of Windows that J2SE 5 was supported on prior to Java 5 going end of life in October 2009.[12]

Java 5 Update 5 (1.5.0_05) is the last release of Java to work on Windows 95 (with Internet Explorer 5.5 installed) and Windows NT 4.0.[20]

Java 5 was first available on Apple Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)[21] and was the default version of Java installed on Apple Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).

Versioning change

This version introduced a new versioning system for the Java language, although the old versioning system continued to be used for developer libraries:

Both version numbers "1.5.0" and "5.0" are used to identify this release of the Java 2 Platform Standard Edition. Version "5.0" is the product version, while "1.5.0" is the developer version. The number "5.0" is used to better reflect the level of maturity, stability, scalability and security of the J2SE.

This correspondence continued through later releases (Java 6 = JDK 1.6, Java 7 = JDK 1.7, and so on).

Java SE 6

Codename Mustang. As of the version released on December 11, 2006, Sun replaced the name "J2SE" with Java SE and dropped the ".0" from the version number.[23] Internal numbering for developers remains 1.6.0.[24] This version was developed under JSR 270.

During the development phase, new builds including enhancements and bug fixes were released approximately weekly. Beta versions were released in February and June 2006, leading up to a final release that occurred on December 11, 2006.

Major changes included in this version:[25][26]

Java 6 can be installed to Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) running on 64-bit (Core 2 Duo and higher) processor machines.[30] Java 6 is also supported by both 32-bit and 64-bit machines running Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard).

Java 6 reached the end of its supported life in February 2013, at which time all public updates, including security updates, were scheduled to be stopped.[31][32] Oracle released two more update to Java 6 in March and April 2013, which patched some security vulnerabilities.[33][34]

Java 6 updates

After Java 6 release, Sun, and later Oracle, released several updates which, while not changing any public API, enhanced end-user usability or fixed bugs.[35] Since January 2016, Java 6 (and earlier) versions are no longer available for download from Oracle.[36]

Release Release date Highlights

  • Java Deployment Toolkit, a set of JavaScript functions to ease the deployment of applets and Java Web Start applications.[39]
  • Java Kernel, a small installer including only the most commonly used JRE classes. Other packages are downloaded when needed.
  • Enhanced updater.
  • Enhanced versioning and pack200 support: server-side support is no longer required.[40]

The -XX:+DoEscapeAnalysis option directs the HotSpot JIT compiler to use escape analysis to determine if local objects can be allocated on the stack instead of the heap.[50]

Some developers have noticed an issue introduced in this release which causes debuggers to miss breakpoints seemingly randomly.[51] Sun has a corresponding bug, which is tracking the issue. The workaround applies to the Client and Server VMs.[52] Using the -XX:+UseParallelGC option will prevent the failure. Another workaround is to roll back to update 13, or to upgrade to update 16.

Java SE 7

Java 7 (codename Dolphin[109]) is a major update that was launched on July 7, 2011[110] and was made available for developers on July 28, 2011.[111] The development period was organized into thirteen milestones; on June 6, 2011, the last of the thirteen milestones was finished.[112][113] On average, 8 builds (which generally included enhancements and bug fixes) were released per milestone. The feature list at the OpenJDK 7 project lists many of the changes.

Additions in Java 7 include:[114]

  • Strings in switch[119]
  • Automatic resource management in try-statement[120]
  • Improved type inference for generic instance creation, aka the diamond operator <>[121]
  • Simplified varargs method declaration[122]
  • Binary integer literals[123]
  • Allowing underscores in numeric literals[124]
  • Catching multiple exception types and rethrowing exceptions with improved type checking[125]

Lambda (Java's implementation of lambda functions), Jigsaw (Java's implementation of modules), and part of Coin were dropped from Java 7, and released as part of Java 8 (except for Jigsaw, which will be in Java 9).[131][132]

Java 7 was the default version to download on java.com from April 2012 until Java 8 was released.[133]

Java 7 updates

Oracle issued public updates to the Java 7 family on a quarterly basis[134] until April 2015 when the product reached the end of its support lifecycle.[36][135]

Java SE 8

Java 8 was released on 18 March 2014,[192][193] and included some features that were planned for Java 7 but later deferred.[194]

Work on features was organized in terms of JDK Enhancement Proposals (JEPs).[195]

Java 8 is not supported on Windows XP[210] but as of JDK 8 update 25, it can still be installed and run under Windows XP.[211] Previous updates of JDK 8 could be run under XP, but had to be installed after a forced installation by directly unzipping files from the installation executable.

From October 2014, Java 8 has been the default version to download from the official website.[212]

Java SE 9

At JavaOne 2011, Oracle discussed features they hope to have in a 2016 release of Java 9,[239] including better support for multi-gigabyte heaps, better native code integration, and a self-tuning JVM.[240] In early 2016 the release of Java 9 was rescheduled for March 2017[241] which later again postponed four more months to July 2017.[242]

Work is under way to make the Java implementation of Reactive Streams part of Java 9: Doug Lea, leader of JSR 166, has proposed[249] a new Flow class[250] that will include the interfaces currently provided by Reactive Streams.[251][252] This work is tracked under:

There are plans to add automatic parallelization using OpenCL.[1][254]

Java SE 10

There is speculation of introducing objects without identity (value types),[255][256] as well as moving towards 64-bit addressable arrays to support large data sets.[1]

Implementations

OpenJDK is a free and open source implementation of the Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE).

Before OpenJDK, several free Java implementations were made by various companies and groups. One example is Apache Harmony. IBM also provides Java implementations,[259] and RedHat provides it through the IcedTea project: a build and integration project for OpenJDK.

  211. Stahl, Henrik (2014-07-11). "Updated: The future of Java on Windows XP". Oracle Corporation. Retrieved 2014-11-11. JDK 8 is not supported on Windows XP. Early versions of JDK 8 had known issues with the installer on Windows XP that prevented it from installing without manual intervention. This was resolved in JDK 8 Update 25. The important point here is that we can no longer provide complete guarantees for Java on Windows XP, since the OS is no longer being updated by Microsoft. We strongly recommend that users upgrade to a newer version of Windows that is still supported by Microsoft in order to maintain a stable and secure environment.
