Hi.
Last weekend we integrated JEP 425 (virtual threads preview) [1] into the mainline JDK.
Starting with JDK 19 build 22, available now, the Early Access builds of JDK 19 over at jdk.java.net
include virtual threads.
The incubator module containing StructuredTaskScope (structured concurrency) and extent locals has
not yet been integrated, and so these features are not available in JDK 19 EA.
Now would be a good time to start experimenting with virtual threads and report any issues you find
(to this mailing list, or directly to JBS if you have an account) prior to JDK 19’s GA release in September.
This would help us improve virtual threads in JDK 19.
Please give it a try: https://jdk.java.net/19/
