JSR 397 (Java SE 22): JEP Proposed to Target: 456: Unnamed Variables & Patterns

[Iris Clark]

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

  456: Unnamed Variables & Patterns
       https://openjdk.org/jeps/456

  Summary: Enhance the Java programming language with unnamed variables
  and unnamed patterns, which can be used when variable declarations or
  nested patterns are required but never used.  Both are denoted by the
  underscore character, _.

The announced deadline for feedback to jdk-dev is Thu 26 Oct 23:59 UTC:

    https://mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/jdk-dev/2023-October/008394.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.org/jeps/1

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