JSR 392 (Java SE 17): JEP Propose to Target: 409: Sealed Classes

[Iris Clark]

The following JEP with scope "SE" has been proposed to target JDK 17:

  409: Sealed Classes
       https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/409

  Summary: Enhance the Java programming language with sealed classes and
  interfaces.  Sealed classes and interfaces restrict which other classes
  or interfaces may extend or implement them.

The announced deadline for feedback to jdk-dev is Wed 12 May 23:59 UTC:

    https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk-dev/2021-May/005508.html

If there are no unresolved objections at that time, then the JEP will be moved
to the Targeted state, indicating that the feature is expected to appear in
the specified release of the JDK Project.  For more information about states,
see the JEP Process document:

    https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/1

A dashboard that lists JEPs with "SE" scope may be found via a link on this
