  • Thread-topic: JDK 21 EA builds 22 & Sequenced Collections Heads-up

Welcome to the latest OpenJDK Quality Outreach update!

 

The schedule for JDK 21 is now known [1] with Rampdown Phase One (RDP1) phase set for June 8th and General Availability (GA) set for September 19th. As we are getting closer to RDP1, we are gradually getting a better view on the JDK 21 content.

 

At the time of writing, 5 JEPs are already integrated in the JDK 21 mainline - Virtual Threads, Generational ZGC, etc. – see below for more details. This newsletter heads-up is focused on one of those JEPs; i.e., JEP 431 Sequenced Collections, as it might induce some incompatibilities on existing codebases.

 

Please do tell us if your project works or fails on the latest JDK 21 Early-Access builds. We still have some time to fix issues before JDK 21 reaches General Availability.

## Heads-Up - JDK 21: Potential Sequenced Collections Incompatibilities

 

The Sequenced Collection JEP [2] has been integrated into JDK 21, build 20. This JEP introduces several new interfaces into the collections framework’s interface hierarchy, and these interfaces introduce new default methods. When such changes are made, they can cause conflicts that result in source or binary incompatibilities. Any conflicts that occur will be in code that implements new collections or that subclasses existing collection classes. Code that simply uses collections implementations will be largely unaffected.

 

There are several kinds of conflicts that might arise. The first is a simple method naming conflict, if a method already exists with the same name but with a different return type or access modifier. Another is a clash between different inherited default method implementations arising from covariant overrides. A class might inherit multiple default methods if it implements multiple interfaces from different parts of the collections framework. A third example occurs with type inference. With type inference (e.g., the use of `var`) the compiler will infer a type for that local variable. It’s possible for other code to use explicitly declared types that must match the inferred type. The change to the interface hierarchy might result in a different inferred type, causing an incompatibility.

 

Make sure to check the following article [3] that provides additional details and strategies to mitigate potential incompatibilities.
