This is a preview API. The announced deadline for feedback to jdk-dev is Mon 10 Nov 20:00 UTC: https://mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/jdk-dev/2025-November/010582.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 page: https://openjdk.org/projects/jdk/26/spec/ Thanks, Iris From iris.clark at oracle.com Thu Nov 6 03:23:39 2025 From: iris.clark at oracle.com (Iris Clark) Date: Thu, 6 Nov 2025 03:23:39 +0000 Subject: JSR 401 (Java SE 26): JEP Proposed to Target: 526: Lazy Constants (Second Preview) Message-ID: The following JEP with scope "SE" has been proposed to target JDK 26: 526: Lazy Constants (Second Preview) https://openjdk.org/jeps/526 Summary: Introduce an API for lazy constants, which are objects that hold unmodifiable data. Lazy constants are treated as true constants by the JVM, enabling the same performance optimizations that are enabled by declaring a field final. Compared to final fields, however, lazy constants offer greater flexibility as to the timing of their initialization. This is a preview API.
