Dear All,
We are pleased to announce the status of Java 23 features for Eclipse 2024-09 (4.33).
JEP 455: Primitive Types in Patterns, instanceof, and switch (Preview)
JEP 467: Markdown Documentation Comments
JEP 476: Module Import Declarations (Preview)
JEP 477: Implicitly Declared Classes and Instance Main Methods (Third Preview)
JEP 482: Flexible Constructor Bodies (Second Preview)
The compiler and the basic IDE support for the above JEPs are available via the release which can be obtained through one of the following ways:
1. Java 23 Marketplace entry:
https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/java-23-support-eclipse-2024-09-433
2. P2 update site :
https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.33-P-builds/
3. Additionally, the Java 23 support will be available on 4.33 from an
integration build after
merge.
Known issues can be tracked via
the issue list. The known issues are/will be retargeted to 4.34 timeframe or to the next Java version as appropriate.
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 23 support. Special mention to all who jumped in to help with the Java 23 work. And
also those took care of non-Java 23 support related activities to keep the master going forward, which helped a section of team focus and prioritize the Java 23 support work.
Thanks and Regards,
Manoj N Palat
