Java version history - wikipedia Java version history The Java language has undergone several changes since JDK 1.0 as well as numerous additions of classes and packages to the standard library. Since J2SE 1.4, the evolution of the Java language has been governed by the Java Community Process ( JCP ), which uses Java Specification Requests ( JSRs ) to propose and specify additions and changes to the Java platform. The language is specified by the Java Language Specification ( JLS ) ; changes to the JLS are managed under JSR 901. In addition to the language changes, much more dramatic changes have been made to the Java Class Library over the years, which has grown from a few hundred classes in JDK 1.0 to over three thousand in J2SE 5. Entire new APIs, such as Swing and Java2D, have been introduced, and many of the original JDK 1.0 classes and methods have been deprecated. Some programs allow conversion of Java programs from one version of the Java platform to an older one ( for example Java 5.0 backported to 1.4 ) ( see Java backporting tools ). In September 2017, Mark Reinhold, chief Architect of the Java Platform, proposed to change the release train to `` one feature release every six months '' rather than the current two - year schedule. Java 9 is the only publicly supported version, while after public support periods of older versions has ended, non-public updates have been issued for Java 7 and earlier. Release Year JDK Beta JDK 1.0 JDK 1.1 J2SE 1.2 1998 J2SE 1.3 2000 J2SE 1.4 2002 J2SE 5.0 Java SE 6 2006 Java SE 7 2011 Java SE 8 2014 Java SE 9 2017 Contents 1 JDK 1.0 2 JDK 1.1 3 J2SE 1.2 4 J2SE 1.3 5 J2SE 1.4 6 J2SE 5.0 6.1 Versioning change 6.2 Java 5 updates 7 Java SE 6 7.1 Java 6 updates 8 Java SE 7 8.1 Java 7 updates 9 Java SE 8 9.1 Java 8 updates 10 Java SE 9 10.1 Java 9 updates 11 Java SE 10 12 Implementations 13 References 14 External links JDK 10 The first version was released on January 23, 1996 and called Oak. The first stable version, JDK 1.0. 2, is called Java 1. JDK 11 Major additions in the release on February 19, 1997 included : an extensive retooling of the AWT event model inner classes added to the language JavaBeans JDBC RMI reflection which supported Introspection only, no modification at runtime was possible. JIT ( Just In Time ) compiler on Microsoft Windows platforms, produced for JavaSoft by Symantec Internationalization and Unicode support originating from Taligent J2SE 12 Codename Playground. The release on December 8, 1998 and subsequent releases through J2SE 5.0 were rebranded retrospectively Java 2 and the version name `` J2SE '' ( Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition ) replaced JDK to distinguish the base platform from J2EE ( Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition ) and J2ME ( Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition ). This was a very significant release of Java as it tripled the size of the Java platform to 1520 classes in 59 packages. Major additions included : strictfp keyword the Swing graphical API was integrated into the core classes Sun 's JVM was equipped with a JIT compiler for the first time Java plug - in Java IDL, an IDL implementation for CORBA interoperability Collections framework J2SE 13 Codename Kestrel. The most notable changes in the May 8, 2000 release were : HotSpot JVM included ( the HotSpot JVM was first released in April 1999 for the J2SE 1.2 JVM ) RMI was modified to support optional compatibility with CORBA Java Naming and Directory Interface ( JNDI ) included in core libraries ( previously available as an extension ) Java Platform Debugger Architecture ( JPDA ) JavaSound Synthetic proxy classes J2SE 14 Codename Merlin. The February 6, 2002 release was the first release of the Java platform developed under the Java Community Process as JSR 59. Major changes included : Language changes assert keyword ( specified in JSR 41 ) Library improvements Regular expressions modeled after Perl regular expressions Exception chaining allows an exception to encapsulate original lower - level exception Internet Protocol version 6 ( IPv6 ) support Non-blocking IO ( named New Input / Output, NIO ) ( specified in JSR 51 ) Logging API ( specified in JSR 47 ) Image I / O API for reading and writing images in formats like JPEG and PNG Integrated XML parser and XSLT processor ( JAXP ) ( specified in JSR 5 and JSR 63 ) Integrated security and cryptography extensions ( JCE, JSSE, JAAS ) Java Web Start included ( Java Web Start was first released in March 2001 for J2SE 1.3 ) ( specified in JSR 56 ) Preferences API ( java. util. prefs ) Public support and security updates for Java 1.4 ended in October 2008. Paid security updates for Oracle customers ended in February 2013. J2SE 5.0 Codename Tiger. The release on September 30, 2004 was originally numbered 1.5, which is still used as the internal version number. The number was changed to `` better reflect the level of maturity, stability, scalability and security of the J2SE ''. This version was developed under JSR 176. J2SE 5.0 entered its end - of - public - updates period on April 8, 2008 ; updates are no longer available to the public as of November 3, 2009. Updates were available to paid Oracle customers until May 2015. Tiger added a number of significant new language features : Generics : provides compile - time ( static ) type safety for collections and eliminates the need for most typecasts ( type conversion ) ( specified by JSR 14 ) Metadata : also called annotations ; allows language constructs such as classes and methods to be tagged with additional data, which can then be processed by metadata - aware utilities ( specified by JSR 175 ) Autoboxing / unboxing : automatic conversions between primitive types ( such as int ) and primitive wrapper classes ( such as Integer ) ( specified by JSR 201 ) Enumerations : the enum keyword creates a typesafe, ordered list of values ( such as Day. MONDAY, Day. TUESDAY, etc. ) ; previously this could only be achieved by non-typesafe constant integers or manually constructed classes ( typesafe enum pattern ) ( specified by JSR 201 ) Varargs : the last parameter of a method can now be declared using a type name followed by three dots ( e.g. void drawtext ( String... lines ) ) ; in the calling code any number of parameters of that type can be used and they are then placed in an array to be passed to the method, or alternatively the calling code can pass an array of that type Enhanced for each loop : the for loop syntax is extended with special syntax for iterating over each member of either an array or any Iterable, such as the standard Collection classes ( specified by JSR 201 ) Improved semantics of execution for multi-threaded Java programs ; the new Java memory model addresses issues of complexity, effectiveness, and performance of previous specifications Static imports There were also the following improvements to the standard libraries : Automatic stub generation for RMI objects Swing : New skinnable look and feel, called synth The concurrency utilities in package java. util. concurrent Scanner class for parsing data from various input streams and buffers Java 5 is the last release of Java to officially support the Microsoft Windows 98 and Windows ME, while Windows Vista is the newest version of Windows that J2SE 5 was supported on prior to Java 5 going end of life in October 2009. Java 5 Update 5 ( 1.5. 0_05 ) is the last release of Java to work on Windows 95 ( with Internet Explorer 5.5 installed ) and Windows NT 4.0. Java 5 was first available on Apple Mac OS X 10.4 ( Tiger ) and was the default version of Java installed on Apple Mac OS X 10.5 ( Leopard ). Public support and security updates for Java 1.5 ended in November 2009. Paid security updates for Oracle customers ended in April 2015. Versioning change This version introduced a new versioning system for the Java language, although the old versioning system continued to be used for developer libraries : Both version numbers `` 1.5. 0 '' and `` 5.0 '' are used to identify this release of the Java 2 Platform Standard Edition. Version `` 5.0 '' is the product version, while `` 1.5. 0 '' is the developer version. The number `` 5.0 '' is used to better reflect the level of maturity, stability, scalability and security of the J2SE. -- Version 1.5. 0 or 5.0 ? ( 22 ) This correspondence continued through later releases ( Java 6 = JDK 1.6, Java 7 = JDK 1.7, and so on ). Java 5 updates Release Release date Highlights Java SE 5 2004 - 10 - 4 Metadata, generic types, autoboxing and auto - unboxing of primitive types, enhanced for loop, enumerated types, static import, formatted I / O, varargs, and concurrency utilities.

As of the version released on December 11, 2006, Sun replaced the name `` J2SE '' with Java SE and dropped the ``. 0 '' from the version number. Internal numbering for developers remains 1.6. 0. This version was developed under JSR 270. During the development phase, new builds including enhancements and bug fixes were released approximately weekly. Beta versions were released in February and June 2006, leading up to a final release that occurred on December 11, 2006. Major changes included in this version : Support for older Win9x versions dropped ; unofficially, Java 6 Update 7 was the last release of Java shown to work on these versions of Windows. This is believed to be due to the major changes in Update 10. Scripting Language Support ( JSR 223 ) : Generic API for tight integration with scripting languages, and built - in Mozilla JavaScript Rhino integration. Dramatic performance improvements for the core platform, and Swing. Improved Web Service support through JAX - WS ( JSR 224 ). JDBC 4.0 support ( JSR 221 ). Java Compiler API ( JSR 199 ) : an API allowing a Java program to select and invoke a Java Compiler programmatically. Upgrade of JAXB to version 2.0 : Including integration of a StAX parser. Support for pluggable annotations ( JSR 269 ). Many GUI improvements, such as integration of SwingWorker in the API, table sorting and filtering, and true Swing double - buffering ( eliminating the gray - area effect ). JVM improvements include : synchronization and compiler performance optimizations, new algorithms and upgrades to existing garbage collection algorithms, and application start - up performance. Java 6 can be installed to Mac OS X 10.5 ( Leopard ) running on 64 - bit ( Core 2 Duo and higher ) processor machines. Java 6 is also supported by both 32 - bit and 64 - bit machines running Mac OS X 10.6 ( Snow Leopard ). Java 6 reached the end of its supported life in February 2013, at which time all public updates, including security updates, were scheduled to be stopped. Oracle released two more updates to Java 6 in March and April 2013, which patched some security vulnerabilities. Java 6 updates After Java 6 release, Sun, and later Oracle, released several updates which, while not changing any public API, enhanced end - user usability or fixed bugs. Release Release date Highlights Java SE 6 2006 - 12 - 23 This release adds many enhancements in the fields of Web services, scripting, databases, pluggable annotations, and security, as well as quality, compatibility, and stability. JConsole is now officially supported. Java DB support has been added. Java SE 6 Update 1 2007 - 05 - 07 Java SE 6 Update 2 2007 - 07 - 03 Java SE 6 Update 3 2007 - 10 - 03 Java SE 6 Update 4 2008 - 01 - 14 HotSpot VM 10 Java SE 6 Update 5 2008 - 03 - 05 Several security flaws were eliminated. New root certificates from AOL, DigiCert, and TrustCenter are now included. Java SE 6 Update 6 2008 - 04 - 16 A workaround for the infamous Xlib / XCB locking assertion issue was introduced. A memory leak when using Kerberos authentication with LoginContext was fixed. Several other bugs were fixed. Java SE 6 Update 7 Unofficially, Java SE 6 Update 7 ( 1.6. 0.7 ) is the last version of Java that was shown to be working on the Win9x family of operating systems Java SE 6 Update 10 2008 - 10 - 15 HotSpot VM 11. Major changes for this update include : Java Deployment Toolkit, a set of JavaScript functions to ease the deployment of applets and Java Web Start applications. Java Kernel, a small installer including only the most commonly used JRE classes. Other packages are downloaded when needed. Enhanced updater. Enhanced versioning and pack200 support : server - side support is no longer required. Java Quick Starter, to improve cold start - up time. Improved performance of Java2D graphics primitives on Windows, using Direct3D and hardware acceleration. A new Swing look and feel called Nimbus and based on synth. Next - Generation Java Plug - In : applets now run in a separate process and support many features of Web Start applications. Java SE 6 Update 11 2008 - 12 - 03 13 security fixes Java SE 6 Update 12 2008 - 12 - 12 No security fixes ; 64 - bit Java plug - in ( for 64 - bit web browsers only ) ; Windows Server 2008 support ; performance improvements of graphics and JavaFX applications Java SE 6 Update 13 2009 - 03 - 24 7 security fixes, JNDI store and retrieve Java objects in LDAP slightly modified, JMX Change ( createMBeanunregisterMBean ), 4 new root certificates added Java SE 6 Update 14 2009 - 05 - 28 HotSpot VM 14. This release includes extensive performance updates to the JIT compiler, compressed pointers for 64 - bit machines, as well as support for the G1 ( Garbage First ) low - pause garbage collector. The - XX : + DoEscapeAnalysis option directs the HotSpot JIT compiler to use escape analysis to determine if local objects can be allocated on the stack instead of the heap. Some developers have noticed an issue introduced in this release which causes debuggers to miss breakpoints seemingly randomly. Sun has a corresponding bug, which is tracking the issue. The workaround applies to the Client and Server VMs. Using the - XX : + UseParallelGC option will prevent the failure. Another workaround is to roll back to update 13, or to upgrade to update 16.

The development period was organized into thirteen milestones ; on June 6, 2011, the last of the thirteen milestones was finished. On average, 8 builds ( which generally included enhancements and bug fixes ) were released per milestone. The feature list at the OpenJDK 7 project lists many of the changes. Additions in Java 7 include : JVM support for dynamic languages, with the new invokedynamic bytecode under JSR - 292, following the prototyping work currently done on the Multi Language Virtual Machine Compressed 64 - bit pointers ( available in Java 6 with - XX : + UseCompressedOops ) These small language changes ( grouped under a project named Coin ) : Strings in switch Automatic resource management in try - statement Improved type inference for generic instance creation, aka the diamond operator < > Simplified varargs method declaration Binary integer literals Allowing underscores in numeric literals Catching multiple exception types and rethrowing exceptions with improved type checking Concurrency utilities under JSR 166 New file I / O library ( defined by JSR 203 ) adding support for multiple file systems, file metadata and symbolic links. The new packages are java. nio. file, java. nio. file. attribute and java. nio. file. spi Timsort is used to sort collections and arrays of objects instead of merge sort Library - level support for elliptic curve cryptography algorithms An XRender pipeline for Java 2D, which improves handling of features specific to modern GPUs New platform APIs for the graphics features originally implemented in version 6u10 as unsupported APIs Enhanced library - level support for new network protocols, including SCTP and Sockets Direct Protocol Upstream updates to XML and Unicode Java Deployment Rulesets Lambda ( Java 's implementation of lambda functions ), Jigsaw ( Java 's implementation of modules ), and part of Coin were dropped from Java 7, and released as part of Java 8 ( except for Jigsaw, which will be in Java 9 ). Java 7 was the default version to download on java.com from April 2012 until Java 8 was released. Java 7 updates Oracle issued public updates to the Java 7 family on a quarterly basis until April 2015 when the product reached the end of its support lifecycle.

4 security fixes Java SE 8 Java 8 ( codename : Spider ) was released on March 18, 2014, and included some features that were planned for Java 7 but later deferred. Work on features was organized in terms of JDK Enhancement Proposals ( JEPs ). JSR 335, JEP 126 : Language - level support for lambda expressions ( officially, lambda expressions ; unofficially, closures ) under Project Lambda and default methods ( virtual extension methods ) which allow the addition of methods to interfaces without breaking existing implementations. There was an ongoing debate in the Java community on whether to add support for lambda expressions. Sun later declared that lambda expressions would be included in Java and asked for community input to refine the feature. Supporting lambda expressions also allows the performance of functional - style operations on streams of elements, such as MapReduce - inspired transformations on collections. Default methods allow an author of an API to add new methods to an interface without breaking the old code using it. Although it was not their primary intent, default methods also allow multiple inheritance of behavior ( but not state ). JSR 223, JEP 174 : Project Nashorn, a JavaScript runtime which allows developers to embed JavaScript code within applications JSR 308, JEP 104 : Annotation on Java Types Unsigned Integer Arithmetic JSR 337, JEP 120 : Repeating annotations JSR 310, JEP 150 : Date and Time API JEP 178 : Statically - linked JNI libraries JEP 153 : Launch JavaFX applications ( direct launching of JavaFX application JARs ) JEP 122 : Remove the permanent generation Java 8 is not supported on Windows XP but as of JDK 8 update 25, it can still be installed and run under Windows XP. Previous updates of JDK 8 could be run under XP, but had to be installed after a forced installation by directly unzipping files from the installation executable. From October 2014, Java 8 was the default version to download from the official website. `` Oracle will not post further updates of Java SE 8 to its public download sites for commercial use after September 2018 ''.

Java SE 8 Update 144 2017 - 07 - 26 Security fixes and bug fixes from 8u141. Java SE 9 At JavaOne 2011, Oracle discussed features they hoped to release for Java 9 in 2016. Java 9 should include better support for multi-gigabyte heaps, better native code integration, a different default garbage collector ( G1, for `` shorter response times '' ) and a self - tuning JVM. In early 2016, the release of Java 9 was rescheduled for March 2017, later again postponed four more months to July 2017, and changed again to be finally available on September 21, 2017, due to controversial acceptance of the current implementation of Project Jigsaw by Java Executive Committee, which led Oracle to fix some open issues and concerns, and to refine some critical technical questions. In the last days of June 2017, Java Community Process expressed nearly unanimous consensus on the proposed Module System scheme. JSR 376 : Modularization of the JDK under Project Jigsaw ( Java Platform Module System ) JEP 222 : jshell : The Java Shell ( a Java REPL ) JEP 295 : Ahead - of - Time Compilation JEP 268 : XML Catalogs JEP 266 : More Concurrency Updates. It includes a Java implementation of Reactive Streams, including a new Flow class that will include the interfaces currently provided by Reactive Streams. JEP 193 : Variable Handles : Define a standard means to invoke the equivalents of various java. util. concurrent. atomic and sun. misc. Unsafe operations JEP 282 : jlink : The Java Linker : Create a tool that can assemble and optimize a set of modules and their dependencies into a custom run - time image. It effectively allows to produce a fully usable executable including the JVM to run it. The first Java 9 release candidate was released on August 9, 2017. The first stable release of Java 9 was on September 21, 2017. Java 9 updates Release Release date Highlights Java SE 9 2017 - 09 - 21 Initial release Java SE 10 There is speculation of introducing objects without identity ( value types ), as well as moving towards 64 - bit addressable arrays to support large data sets. JSR 354 : Money and Currency API Implementations OpenJDK is a free and open source implementation of the Java Platform, Standard Edition ( Java SE ). Before OpenJDK, several free Java implementations were made by various companies and groups. One example is Apache Harmony. IBM also provides Java implementations, and Red Hat provides it through the IcedTea project : a build and integration project for OpenJDK.

This was resolved in JDK 8 Update 25. The important point here is that we can no longer provide complete guarantees for Java on Windows XP, since the OS is no longer being updated by Microsoft.
