Java 8

Java 8 is intended to be an revolution and not just an evolution of the Java Language. It has originally been planned to be published at the end of 2012. We all know that this is not going to happen because of the sluggish development of Java 8. Nevertheless my next Blogs will focus on the planned and maybe someday released Java 8 features.

Java 8 Blog Series Closures, Lambda Expressions - Part 1: Demystified (JSR 335) Closures, Lambda Expressions - Part 2: Deep Dive (JSR 335) Project Jigsaw - Modularization of the JDK Date and Time API - JSR 310 Type Annotiations and Checker Framework - JSR 308 Concurrent Collection Framework

The content of Java 8 will vary and no one knows what makes it in the final release. Hence I start with Java 8 features that I expect to be promising.
