Java's Resurgence: Java LTS Versions and Updates

Free updates for Java 21 end Sept 2026. This white paper breaks down  the factors that may delay your ability to adopt Java 25 even as Oracle ramps up its Java audits, how Oracle’s roadmap could cost your organization millions and what you can do to regain control of your Java strategy. https://lnkd.in/ga7-Pezk   #Java21 #JDK21 #Java #OracleJava

Wondering how easy it is to switch to OpenJDK? Azul provides full compatibility with Oracle Java with no code changes needed and a simple 3-step migration process that has a track record of 100% success.   With free updates to Java 21 ending, moving to OpenJDK has never made more sense. It’s all explained in our white paper - Definitely worth a read: https://lnkd.in/ga7-Pezk     #Java #OracleJava #Javamigration #OpenJDK

☕ Exploring What’s New in Java 25! 🚀 The latest Long-Term Support (LTS) release of Java officially arrived in September 2025, bringing some of the most exciting updates yet. LTS versions are important — they’re stable, production-ready, and supported for years. With Java 25, the language takes another big step toward being simpler, faster, and more modern, while keeping all the power Java is known for. 💡 Over the years, Java has often been called verbose — requiring too much boilerplate for simple tasks. But with Java 25, we’re seeing a more streamlined, developer-friendly experience that boosts productivity and readability. In my latest presentation, I’ve summarized the major features of Java 25 with examples and real-world use cases — perfect for developers looking to stay current with the platform. 👉 For deeper dives, check out the official OpenJDK and Oracle documentation.

For most developers, Java 25 is “just” the next release; for us on the EC, it’s formally JSR 400 — the specification that defines what Java 25 means from a standardization perspective. Read more 👉 https://lttr.ai/Aj9AO #java #future #jcp

Java migrations don’t need to be complex. Our white paper lays out a zero-risk path from Oracle Java SE to Azul Platform Core. If you’re exploring OpenJDK, this is a must-read. https://lnkd.in/gkBnuRs4 #Java #OpenJDK #javamigration 

The ABCs of Java: Understanding the JDK, JRE, and JVM Hello network! 👋 To truly understand how Java achieves its famous "Write Once, Run Anywhere" ability, you have to know these three components. I broke down the hierarchy in this image—let’s simplify what each one does: 1. JVM (Java Virtual Machine) The Engine: The innermost layer. It's the interpreter that runs the Java Bytecode (your compiled code). The JVM is responsible for executing the code specifically for your operating system (Windows, Linux, macOS). 2. JRE (Java Runtime Environment) The Runtime: This is the environment you need to simply run a Java application. It includes the JVM plus all the necessary Java Class Libraries and support files. If you're a user, you only need the JRE. 3. JDK (Java Development Kit) The Toolkit: The complete package for any Java developer. The JDK includes the JRE (to run the code) and all the Development Tools like the Compilers and Debuggers that you use to write, test, and package your application. In Short: The JDK is your full toolbox. It contains the JRE, which provides the environment for the JVM to execute the code. This architecture is Java's superpower! #Java #JDK #JRE #JVM #Programming #TechExplained #CodingBasics #codebegun

🚀 Java 25 is Here! The latest Java SE 25 (LTS) is out — continuing Java’s fast 6-month release cycle. ✨ Key highlights: Virtual Threads & Structured Concurrency 🧵 Performance boosts & memory improvements ⚡ Stronger support for modern frameworks like Spring Boot 3.x 🌱 💡 Why it matters: Upgrade to Java 25 (or 21 LTS) for better speed, scalability, and future-ready features — especially if you’re building AI-driven or microservice apps. #Java #SpringBoot #Developers #Java25 #Programming #TechUpdate

🚀 The Evolution of Java: From 8 to 25 Java has come a long way since the release of Java 8 in 2014. Each new version has introduced features that boost developer productivity, improve performance, and make applications more cloud-ready. Here’s a quick journey through its major milestones 👇 💡 Java 8 (2014) — Lambdas, Streams, Optional, Date/Time API. Still one of the most widely used versions in enterprises. ⚙️ Java 11 (2018 – LTS) — Introduced the var keyword, new HTTP Client API, and removed legacy Java EE & CORBA modules. 🚀 Java 17 (2021 – LTS) — Added sealed classes, pattern matching for instanceof, and text blocks for cleaner multi-line strings. A major long-term support version many organizations migrated to. 🌐 Java 21 (2023 – LTS) — Brought Virtual Threads (Project Loom) for massive concurrency improvements, pattern matching for switch, and record patterns for concise data structures. 🔮 Java 25 (2025 – LTS) — Focused on performance and scalability with continued advancements in Project Panama (native interop) and Project Valhalla (value types). Also introducing a stronger memory and concurrency model. #java #javaversion #javafeature #javadeveloper
