JDK11

JDK11 refers to the eleventh release of the Java Development Kit. It is a Long-Term Support (LTS) release, meaning it is expected to receive extended support and updates from Oracle. This release, also known as Java SE 11, became available in September 2018. As an LTS version, JDK11 provides a stable platform for enterprise applications and is a popular choice for many development projects.

Key features introduced in JDK11 include the removal of several deprecated APIs, such as the Nashorn JavaScript engine, the Java EE and CORBA modules. It also brought enhancements to the HTTP Client, making it a standard API for making HTTP requests. The `var` keyword for local variable type inference, introduced in JDK10, continued to be supported and widely adopted. Performance improvements were also a focus, with optimizations in garbage collection and runtime performance. For developers, this release offered a more streamlined and modern Java experience, building upon the foundation of previous versions. JDK11 remains a significant milestone in the evolution of the Java platform.
