The following JEP is proposed to target JDK 25:
505: Structured Concurrency (Fifth Preview)
https://openjdk.org/jeps/505
Summary: Simplify concurrent programming by introducing an API for
structured concurrency. Structured concurrency treats groups of
related tasks running in different threads as single units of work,
thereby streamlining error handling and cancellation, improving
reliability, and enhancing observability. This is a preview API.
Feedback on this proposal from JDK Project Committers and Reviewers [1]
is more than welcome, as are reasoned objections. If no such objections
are raised by 21:00 UTC on Thursday, 8 May, or if they’re raised and
then satisfactorily answered, then per the JEP 2.0 process proposal [2]
I’ll target this JEP to JDK 25.
