• Today we need more diversity in tech
• Solve problems of entire society
• = > Intelligence, Innovation, Profit
• And we see a shift…
• From the one with the best technical skills
wins
• To the one with the best people skills wins
First Computer Programmer

• Not easy to acquire
• Require practice
• Human interactions
• Complex thinker, relationships,
emotional intelligence = practice
with others
In-demand skills

• Top five key soft skills that engineers and other professionals should
develop for career success:
• Communication
• Creativity/Critical Thinking
• Adaptability/Flexibility
• Collaboration/Teamwork
• Leadership
In 2018 … 50% of tech jobs = Technical skills

• Engage in Community events
• User Group Meetings
• Conferences

Java Philosophies

• 1995: Sun Microsystems develops Java.
• 1998: Sun opens up the development process to its competitors, creating the Java
Community Process.
• 2006: Sun open-sources Java SE and Java EE.
• 2007: Sun goes into decline; Java stagnates.
• 2010: Oracle acquires Sun and becomes the steward of Java.
• 2011-2017: New Versions of Platforms Released.
• 2012—: Greater Engagement of Developer Community & User Groups.
• 2017—: Introduce Faster OpenJDK Release Cycle.
Open Evolution

• Oracle recognizes the great value of Java – to itself as well as to its allies
and competitors.
• The value is derived from the open, collaborative, standards-based process
through which Java is developed and the vibrant developer community
that this process fosters.
– A proprietary platform could not have succeeded as Java has
– Java is everywhere
• Oracle’s support and promotion of Java benefits everyone.
Java Stewardship

• Includes formal public reviews and votes by the Executive Committee.
• Full Members can submit & lead JSRs, serve on JSR Expert Groups.
The JSR Development Cycle

• Java Specification Requests (JSRs)
– A JSR is a single version of a Java specification.
• JSRs are led by a community member (the Spec Lead), with a group of interested members (the
Expert Group) helping with the day-to-day decisions and work.
– Any JCP member can submit and lead a JSR.
• Each Expert Group must deliver:
– The Specification
– A Reference Implementation (RI)
– A Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK)
Collaborative Development - How does is work?

IS THE TCK CORRECT?
DOES THE RI CONFORM?

Why Should Developers Participate?

• “Joining the JCP, especially being a member of several expert groups, has
had a big impact on my career. Mostly by making it visible for the
leadership and managers in my company that I am actually a part of
forming the future of the platform. I also think, or hope, that it is an
inspiration for my colleagues.”
- Ivar Grimstad
• “Joining the JCP is like being a Java citizen.”- Heinz Kabutz
Membership Quotes

• We need both!
How: Open Standards & Open Source

• Open source important requirement. So are Standards.
• Coop-etition. Agree on what to standardize (cooperation) & what to
compete on (implementations).
• Open standards implemented in open source = easier to implement
standard & for developers to understand technology.
• Results in more implementations and greater adoption of the standard.
• An effective way to develop a standard-start with an open source project
that has demonstrated the need for standardization.
Complementary

• New revisions of
platform.
• “JCP.Next” reforms
• Increased
participation from
Community.

• Data optimization
• HW acceleration
• Scalability
• Continual language enhancements
The Next Big Challenges/Opportunities

• Java is very good at optimizing code, less so at optimizing data
• Java’s type system gives us primitives, objects, and arrays
• But flexibility is not exactly where we need it
• The big problem: object identity
• Project Valhalla – Value Types
Project Valhalla : Object Data layout
46

• Java’s characteristics make it ideal for container deployment
– Safe & Secure, Performant, Reliable, Rich Eco System
• We are committed to having Java remain the first choice for deployments
in the cloud
Project Portola
47
• Java in a world of Containers

• Open sourced earlier this year
• http://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/zgc/
• Early Access builds available: http://jdk.java.net/zgc/
– Enable ZGC: -XX:+UseZGC
Project ZGC : A Scalable Low-Latency Garbage Collector

• Foreign Functions & Data
• Simple, safe, and performant replacement for JNI
• Access to low-level hardware functionality through normal Java code
– Vector instructions, special memory types (for example non-volatile
memory)
• Big Data, Machine Learning
Project Panama

• Easier and more scalable concurrency model
– Making blocking calls virtually free
• “Fibers” (lightweight threads) and continuations
– Millions of fibers can be spawned in a single JVM instance
Project Loom

• Language improvements
– Dynamic Class-File Constants
– Raw string literals
– Switch expressions
– Pattern matching
Project Amber

Improved Java/Native Interoperability
52
• Big Data Hadoop and Spark are highly dependent on native libraries
• Meanwhile, Java has significant technical debts in support of foreign calls
• Project Panama - provide an easier, safer and faster JNI
• Project Loom – Lightweight thread and continuation
Improved Java/Native Interoperability
