Packaging Tool (Incubator)
What is jpackage?
• A JDK command line tool for packaging self-contained Java
applications
• Meant for Java application developers (not end users)
• Input: a pre-built Java application, a Java runtime
• Output: a native application package
• Supported on: Linux, macOS, Windows
• Provides a straightforward way to give the end user a natural
installation experience on their platform
• Defined by JEP 343:
• https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/343

Why do we need jpackage? (1)
• As of JDK 11:
• Shared, auto-updated Java runtime (System JRE) no longer available
• Java Web Start / applets are gone (and incomplete without the above)
• New deployment model: bundled application + Java runtime
• jpackage takes a Java runtime and your application, and creates a
native package that you can distribute
• jpackage runs jlink to create runtime, including application if modular
• Developer can run jlink prior to jpackage for additional customization

Why do we need jpackage? (2)
• jlink provides part of the puzzle
• Creates a custom Java runtime from the JDK
• can add additional library or application modules
• can exclude unneeded modules
• same file system layout as the JDK
• Developers can copy that plus their app and zip it up
• but this is not a “ready-to-distribute” bundle
• it's a collection of files, not an installable package or application
• no system integration
• What then?
• Today Java developers “roll their own” using various third-party tools

Where does jlink fit in?
• Use jlink to create a custom runtime image:
• Include only the modules you need
• Add your own modules or library modules
• jpackage will run jlink for you in most cases, but you can run it
directly for more control over the Java runtime image you use

Using jlink
// Custom runtime with only the java.base module
jlink --output my-jdk --add-modules java.base
// Java runtime with the specified modules (includes java.base)
jlink --output my-jdk --add-modules java.desktop,java.datatransfer
// Java runtime with your modular application and its dependencies
// Strip unneeded files
jlink --output my-jdk --module-path mymod.jar --add-modules mymod
--no-man-pages --no-header-files --strip-native-commands

Features of jpackage (1)
• Can be used to package:
• Desktop apps
• Command line apps
• Creation of an application image
• Support the following native packaging formats:
• Linux: rpm (Red Hat), deb (Debian)
• Mac: dmg, pkg
• Windows: exe, msi
• Specify JDK / app args that will be used when launching the app
• Can be invoked from command line, or via the ToolProvider API

• Package applications that integrate into the native platform:
• Set file associations to launch app when file with associated suffix is opened
• Launching from platform-specific menu group, e.g., Start menu on Windows
• Desktop shortcuts
• Option to specify update rules for installable packages (such as in rpm/deb)
• Multiple launchers can be created from the same application image
• List of required tools:
• Linux (Red Hat) : rpmutil (4.0d or later)
• Linux (Ubuntu) : dpkg, fakeroot
• macOS: XCode command line tools
• Windows: WiX Toolset (3.0 or later)

• What does jpackage not do?
• Does not solve how to get the platform installer to the user
• no browser / web integration
• No cross-platform deployment
• No cross-compilation (e.g., must run on macOS to produce dmg)
• No support for jnlp
• JNLPConverter demo can ease transition:
• Takes a jnlp file + resources (jar files) runs jpackage
• Doesn’t handle all cases, but will help you convert

JEP 339: Edwards-Curve Digital Signature
Algorithm (EdDSA)
• EdDSA is a modern elliptic curve signature scheme that has several
advantages over the existing signature schemes in the JDK. The primary
goal of this JEP is an implementation of this scheme as standardized in
RFC 8032. This new signature scheme does not replace ECDSA.
• Platform-independent implementation of EdDSA with better
performance than the existing ECDSA implementation (which uses
native C code) at the same security strength
• Aims to prevent side-channel attacks
• Timing is independent of secrets
• Will not branch on secrets

JEP 371: Hidden Classes
• Hidden classes that cannot be used directly by the bytecode of
other classes
• Hidden classes are intended for use by frameworks that generate
classes at run time and use them indirectly, via reflection
• A hidden class may be defined as a member of an access control
nest, and may be unloaded independently of other classes
• Allows to deprecate the nonnonnonnon----standard APIstandard APIstandard APIstandard API
sun.misc.Unsafe::defineAnonymousClass, with the
intent to deprecate it for removal in a future release

JEP 378: Text Blocks
Previewed in JDK 13 and JDK 14
• A text block is a multi-line string literal that avoids the need for
most escape sequences, automatically formats the string in a
predictable way, and gives the developer control over the format
when desired.
• To allow finer control of the processing of newlines and white
spaces, this second preview introduces two new escape
sequences
This JEP represents content from Project Amber, implementing small
language changes to the Java platform.

JEP 377: Z Garbage Collector
Experimental no more
• Change the Z Garbage Collector from experimental feature into a
product feature
• ZGC, is a concurrent, NUMA-aware, scalable low-latency garbage
collector, geared to delivery < 10ms GC pauses even on multi-
terabytes heaps
• The ZGC pause times (ms) are significant lower than parallel or G1
• -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions option no longer needed
• The default GC remains G1

JEP 379: Shenandoah GC
No longer experimental
• Change the Shenandoah Garbage Collector from experimental
feature into a product feature
• -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions option no longer needed
• The default GC remains G1

JEP 373: Reimplement the Legacy
DatagramSocket API
• Replace the underlying implementations of the java.net.DatagramSocket
and java.net.MulticastSocket APIs with simpler and more modern
implementations that are easy to maintain and debug.
• The new implementations will be easy to adapt to work with virtual
threads, currently being explored in Project Loom. This is a follow-on to
JEP 353, which already reimplemented the legacy Socket API.
• To reduce the risk of switching the implementation after more than
twenty years, the legacy implementation will not be removed. A JDK-
specific system property, jdk.net.usePlainDatagramSocketImpl, is
introduced to configure the JDK to use the legacy implementation

JEP 360: Sealed Classes (Preview) (1)
• Sealed classes and interfaces restrict which other classes or interfaces
may extend or implement them.
• Allow the author of a class or interface to control which code is reponsible for
implementating it.
• Provide a more declarative way than access modifiers to restrict the use of a
superclass.
• Support future directions in pattern matching by underpinning the exhaustive
analysis of patterns.
This is from Project Amber
Preview features are fully specified, fully implemented, and yet impermanent. Available in a
JDK feature release to provoke developer feedback. May lead to it becoming permanent in
a future Java SE Platform. Requires a flag to enable at compile and at runtime.

JEP 360: Sealed Classes (Preview) (2)
Constraints
• The sealed class and its permitted subclasses must belong to the same
module, and, if declared in an unnamed module, the same package.
• Every permitted subclass must directly extend the sealed class.
• Every permitted subclass must choose a modifier to describe how it
continues the sealing initiated by its superclass; final, sealed, or non-
sealed (a sealed class cannot prevent its permitted subclasses from
doing this.)

JEP 375: Pattern Matching for instanceof
Second Preview
• Enhance the Java programming language with pattern matching for the
instanceof operator.
• Pattern matching allows common logic in a program, namely the
conditional extraction of components from objects, to be expressed
more concisely and safely.
• This is a preview language feature in JDK 15.

JEP 384: Records
Second Preview
• Records provide a compact syntax for declaring classes which are
transparent holders for shallowly (flat) immutable data

JEP 384: Records
Local Records – Added in the Second Preview
• In the example, the aggregation of a merchant and a monthly sales
figure is modeled with a local record, MerchantSales. Using this
record improves the readability of the stream operations which follow:
List<Merchant> findTopMerchants(List<Merchant> merchants, int month) {
// Local record
record MerchantSales(Merchant merchant, double sales) {}
return merchants.stream()
.map(merchant -> new MerchantSales(merchant, computeSales(merchant, month)))
.sorted((m1, m2) -> Double.compare(m2.sales(), m1.sales()))
.map(MerchantSales::merchant)
.collect(toList());
}

JEP 383: Foreign-Memory Access API
Second Incubator
• API to allow Java programs to safely and efficiently access foreign
memory outside of the Java heap.
• Aimes to provide a valid alternative to the main avenues by which Java
programs access foreign memory today, namely
java.nio.ByteBuffer and sun.misc.Unsafe.
First major content from Project Panama, a project with the goal of
improving connections between Java and non-Java API‘s
Incubator modules are a means of putting non-final API‘s and non-final tools in the hands of developers,
while the API‘s/tools progress towards either finalization or removal in a future release.

Deprecations
• Disable and Deprecate Biased Locking (JEP 374)
• RMI Activation for Removal (JEP 385)

Removals
• Nashorn Java Script Engine (JEP 372)
‒ Deprecated for removal since JDK 11
• Solaris and SPARC ports (JEP 381)
‒ Deprecated for removal with JDK 14
• The source code for these features remains availble in OpenJDK

NewNewNewNew Project:Project:Project:Project: Leyden (1)Leyden (1)Leyden (1)Leyden (1)
• New Project, Leyden, whose primary goal will be to address the long-term pain
points of Java’s slow startup time, slow time to peak performance, and large
footprint.
• Leyden will address these pain points by introducing a concept of _static images_
to the Java Platform, and to the JDK.
– A static image is a standalone program, derived from an application, which runs
that application -- and no other.
– A static image is a closed world: It cannot load classes from outside the image,
nor can it spin new bytecodes at run time.

NewNewNewNew Project:Project:Project:Project: Leyden (2)Leyden (2)Leyden (2)Leyden (2)
• Project Leyden will take inspiration from past efforts to explore this space,
including the GNU Compiler for Java and the Native Image feature of GraalVM.
Leyden will add static images to the Java Platform Specification, and we expect
that GraalVM will evolve to implement that specification. Developers who use only
the standard, specified static-image feature will then be able to switch with ease
between Leyden (in the JDK), Native Image (in GraalVM), and whatever other
conforming implementations may arise, choosing amongst tradeoffs of compile
time, startup time, and image size.
• We do not intend to implement Leyden by merging the Native Image code from
GraalVM into the JDK. Leyden will, rather, be based upon existing components in
the JDK such as the HotSpot JVM, the `jaotc` ahead-of-time compiler, application
class-data sharing, and the `jlink` linking tool.
