The Java changes are mostly familiar to me, having reviewed many PRs in the Panama repository, hence the lack of specific comments here. I did a pass through the changes and nothing major stood out to me.

The new API changes make it much easy to build APIs around memory segments, exposing and reusing resource scope, acquiring/releasing on resource scope, where necessary.
