Extending pattern matching to switch allows an expression to be tested against a number of patterns, each with a specific action, so that complex data-oriented queries can be expressed concisely and safely. A JEP in the Candidate state is a feature deemed worthy of consideration by the JDK Project, but with no commitment to deliver the feature in any particular release of the JDK Project. Later, the JEP may be moved to the Targeted state, which indicates that the feature is expected to appear in a specific release of the JDK Project. For more information about states, see the JEP Process document: https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/1 A JEP with "SE" scope that reaches the Targeted state will be listed in the Specification of the Java SE Platform JSR which corresponds to the targeted JDK Project release. A dashboard that lists JEPs with "SE" scope may be found via a link on this page: https://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk/18/spec/ Thanks, Iris From iris.clark at oracle.com Fri Oct 29 06:32:58 2021 From: iris.clark at oracle.com (Iris Clark) Date: Fri, 29 Oct 2021 06:32:58 +0000 Subject: JSR 393 (Java SE 18): JEP Proposed to Target: 418: Internet-Address Resolution SPI Message-ID: The following JEP with scope "SE" has been proposed to target JDK 18: 418: Internet-Address Resolution SPI https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/418 Summary: Define a service-provider interface (SPI) for host name and address resolution, so that java.net.InetAddress can make use of resolvers other than the platform's built-in resolver. The announced deadline for feedback to jdk-dev is Thu 4 Nov 23:59 UTC: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk-dev/2021-October/006197.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.
