Dear All,
We are pleased to announce the Java 18 support for Eclipse 2022-03 (4.23).
The release notably includes the support of the following Java 18 features:
JEP 413: Code Snippets in Java API Documentation
JEP 420: Pattern Matching for Switch (Second Preview)
The release can be obtained through one of the following ways:
-
Java 18 Marketplace entry :

-
P2 update site :

-
Additionally, the Java 18 support will be available on 4.24 from the next integration build onwards - download from https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone – the team, contributors, bug reporters, early adopters, and one and all
- involved in Java 18 support. And more so for keeping up the dedication and focus in these pandemic times. Special mention to all who took care of non-Java 18 support related activities to keep the master going forward, which helped a section of team focus
and prioritize the Java 18 support work.
Thanks and Regards,
Manoj N Palat
