promoting/moving @jdk.internal.PreviewFeature to be a standard JavaSE API

[Dmitry Bessonov]

Hi,

Noticed in the OpenJDK sources that String::stripIndent, String::translateEscapes, String::formatted were annotated with @jdk.internal.PreviewFeature until the very recent time [1].

Are there any plans to move this annotation out of “jdk” namespace to “java” or “javax” namespace?

This movement looks logical as the concept of “Preview Feature” [2] is not JDK-specific - JEP12 has "Scope: SE” and “Exposure: Open".

kind regards,
dmitry
