Dear All,
We are pleased to announce the status of Java 22 features for Eclipse 2024-03 (4.31) .
JEP 447: Statements before super(...) (Preview)
JEP 456: Unnamed Variables & Patterns

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 22 Marketplace
entry: https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/java-22-support-eclipse-2024-03-431
2.
P2 update site : https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.31-P-builds/
3.
Additionally, the Java 21 support will be available on 4.29 from an integration build soon [tracked via
https://github.com/eclipse-jdt/eclipse.jdt.core/issues/2167]- download from https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/.
Pending IDE issues can be tracked via
https://github.com/eclipse-jdt/eclipse.jdt.core/issues/2162.
The known issues are/will be retargeted to 4.32 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 22 support. Special mention to all who jumped in to help with the Java 22 work. And also those took care of non-Java 22 support related activities to keep the master going forward, which
helped a section of team focus and prioritize the Java 22 support work.
Thanks and Regards,
