Java SE 9 (JSR 379) Public Review Specification

[Iris Clark]

Hi.

 

The draft Public Review Specification is available here:

 

   http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~iris/se/9/java-se-9-pr-spec-01/java-se-9-spec.html

 

The main specification has changed slightly from the EDR, mostly notably with

a reduction in the number of APIs proposed for removal in Section 10.  Also

we discovered that two JEPs (252 - Use CLDR Locale Data by Default; 280 -

Indify String Concatenation) had an impact to the SE API, so they were added

to the list of features in Sections 5 and 6.

 

New to the draft are the following:

 

   - Annex 1, a detailed API specification-change summary

 

    - Annex 2, an annotated API specification showing the exact differences

      relative to Java SE 8 (JSR 337)

 

    - Annex 3, containing draft versions of The Java Language Specification

      (JLS) and the Java Virtual Machine Specification (JVMS)

 

    - Annex 4, an annotated version of the Java Native Interface Specification

      (JNI) showing differences relative to Java SE 8

 

I'd like to submit this to the JCP PMO for the formal Public Review period

next week.  Please let me know by 17:00 UTC next Tuesday, 14 March, if you

believe changes are required, or you need additional time to for review.

 

Thanks,
