JSR 397 (Java SE 22): JEP Proposed to Target: 463: Implicitly Declared Classes and Instance Main Methods (Second Preview)

[Iris Clark]

The following JEP with scope "SE" has been proposed to target JDK 22:

  463: Implicitly Declared Classes and Instance Main Methods (Second Preview)
       https://openjdk.org/jeps/463

  Summary: Evolve the Java programming language so that students can
  write their first programs without needing to understand language
  features designed for large programs.  Far from using a separate
  dialect of the language, students can write streamlined declarations
  for single-class programs and then seamlessly expand their programs
  to use more advanced features as their skills grow.  This is a preview
  language feature.

The announced deadline for feedback to jdk-dev is Tue 28 Nov 20:00 UTC:

    https://mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/jdk-dev/2023-November/008448.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:
