Here's a super cool new development for the true adventurer, the wild side walker, and the most cutting edge of cutting edge Java developers.
Could this be you?
From today, there's a brand new build of NetBeans IDE focused very specifically on giving you the tools you need for taking the early access build of JDK 9 for a spin:
Spread the word and get involved in the process. Once you have downloaded the early access JDK and early build of NetBeans IDE, register the former in the latter, which will expose the JDK to your Java SE projects:
For all the details, including how to give feedback: http://wiki.netbeans.org/JDK9Support
Note. NetBeans IDE itself does not run on JDK 9 builds yet.
The question is, what's there to try? There's no lambda expressions, no multi-catch or other improvements to the language itself. No notable APIs either.
Good to try your normal Java coding and give feedback on that, any regressions, etc. Any impact on performance, etc.
Geertjan,
Have you tried using the latest jdk9 build 102 since Jan 26 2016?
I plan to try it out..
Thanks,
Carl
