AMC 2.20 offers system administrators greater and easier control in managing Java version compatibility and security updates for desktops within their enterprise and for Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) with Java-based applications and solutions. The highlight of this release is the Containerized version of AMC where you can install and deploy AMC on Kubernetes environment. Key benefits of using AMC: Usage Tracking: AMC collects information about which Java applications are launched by which Java versions, creating an application compatibility inventory. Usage Tracking can be configured automatically through the AMC Agent, or by using the configuration properties. Taking Action: The Deployment Rule Set capabilities enable different Applet and Web Start applications to use different versions of Java installed on clients. This benefits organizations that must use older versions of Java or need many different Java versions for different purposes. MSI Customizations: System Administrators can use the Java Install Customizer tool to repackage Microsoft Windows Installers (MSI), controlling the way that Java is installed on managed systems. Here’s what’s new in AMC 2.20: Containerized AMC uses WebLogic Kubernetes Operator (WKO) for deploying and managing AMC. This solution can be easily deployed in cloud or non-cloud environments and leverages scaling functionality of the operator within a Kubernetes framework. Refer to the deployment guide to know how to deploy Containerized AMC. WebUI provides an option to delete the application data based on the filter criteria. Supports Oracle WebLogic 14c. Security questions mechanism is introduced to improve password reset functionality. WebUI provides an option to lock frequent password reset activity. To know the details of important changes and new features in this release as well as in the previous AMC releases, see the What's New In Advanced Management Console page. For additional information about AMC, see the Advanced Management Console page. The Known Issues and Fixed Issues in this release are described in the Advanced Management Console 2.20 Release Notes.

JDK 15 is live! Download it from the Java SE Downloads page. See the JDK 15 Release Notes for detailed information about this release. The following are some of the important additions and updates in Java SE 15 and JDK 15: Text Blocks, first previewed in Java SE 13, is a permanent feature in this release and can be used without enabling preview features. Text blocks are multiline string literals that avoid the need for most escape sequences, automatically format the string in a predictable way, and give the developer control over the format when desired. See JEP 378: Text Blocks and Programmer's Guide to Text Blocks. The Z Garbage Collector (ZGC) is ready to use in production and no longer an experimental feature. Enable ZGC by using the command-line option -XX:+UseZGC. See JEP 377: ZGC: A Scalable Low-Latency Garbage Collector (Production). Hidden classes are 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 through reflection. See JEP 371: Hidden Classes. The following are preview or incubator JDK 15 features: Sealed Classes is a Java language preview feature. Sealed classes and interfaces restrict which other classes or interfaces may extend or implement them. See JEP 360: Sealed Classes (Preview) and Sealed Classes. Pattern Matching for instanceof, a preview feature from Java SE 14, is re-previewed for this release. This feature allows common logic in a program, namely the conditional extraction of components from objects, to be expressed more concisely and safely. See JEP 375: Pattern Matching for instanceof (Second Preview) and Pattern Matching for the instanceof Operator. Records, a preview feature from Java SE 14, is re-previewed for this release. Records are classes that act as transparent carriers for immutable data. See JEP 384: Records (Second Preview) and Record Classes. The Foreign Memory Access API allows Java programs to efficiently and safely access foreign memory outside of the Java heap. See JEP 383: Foreign-Memory Access API (Second Incubator). In addition, the following are security-related updates: A new signature scheme Edwards-Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA) is implemented, which is a modern elliptic curve signature scheme that has several advantages over the existing signature schemes in the JDK. This new signature scheme does not replace ECDSA. See JEP 339: Edwards-Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA) and the section The SunEC Provider. The SunJCE provider now supports SHA-3 based Hmac algorithms. See the section The SunJCE Provider. New system properties are available to configure TLS signature schemes, jdk.tls.client.SignatureSchemes and jdk.tls.server.SignatureSchemes. See the section Specifying Default Enabled Cipher Suites. Applications can enable the certificate_authorities extension by setting the jdk.tls.client.enableCAExtension system property to true. See the section Enabling certificate_authorities Extension for Server Certificate Selection. See Significant Changes in JDK 15 Release for additional information.

On Wednesday, 21st September, Michał Płachta, Team Leader, Ocado Technology presents "Building a Multiplayer Game with Streams". In this session, you will learn how stream-based programming can be used to implement a web front end and a multiplayer back end for the classic game 'Snake'. When we build dynamic applications with an imperative approach, it tends to create a lot of code, and maintaining this code poses a bigger challenge. Stream-based programming tries to solve this problem by introducing a fully declarative way of defining application logic. While using streams, you can just focus on what needs to be done, and not how and when. The presentation is divided into three parts: “Front-End Code,” “Back-End Code,” and “Reactive Streams Intro.” This session takes place from 4:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. at Hilton - Plaza Room B For more information about Streams, see New and Enhanced APIs that Take Advantage of Lambda Expressions and Streams in Java SE 8.

Java SE 8 (JDK 8) introduced a fundamentally new way of programming in Java with the introduction of Lambda expressions.Have you ever wondered what Lambda expressions are in Java? Have you ever wanted to write parallel code in Java without worrying about threads and locking? Have you ever wanted to process collections of data without using loops? Have you ever wanted to do functional programming in Java?Answers to these questions can be found in Oracle’s Java Lambda MOOC. If you missed the chance to enroll as one of the original 10,000 students from 138 countries, the course materials are now publically available so that you too can join the fun! This 3-week course includes video-lectures with Java expert and champion Simon Ritter (@speakjava), and practical hands-on coding exercises which focus on two major changes to the Java platform: Lambda expressions and the Stream API.Lambda provides a simple way to pass functionality as an argument to another method, such as what action should be taken when someone clicks a button, or how to sort a set of names. Lambda expressions enable you to do this, to treat functionality as a method argument, or code as data.You may have heard about Lambda expressions, and are curious what impact it will have on you as a Java developer. This course is designed to answer your questions and more.--Nick Ristuccia
