A JDK Enhancement Proposal (JEP) is a proposal to design and implement a nontrivial change to the JDK. See JEP 1: JDK Enhancement-Proposal & Roadmap Process. A Java Specification Request (JSR) describes proposed and final specifications for the Java platform. See JSR Overview.

A few very small language changes are included in Java SE 9.

  • Allow @SafeVargs on private instance methods.
  • Allow effectively final variables to be used as resources in the try-with-resourcesstatement.
  • Allow the diamond with anonymous classes if the argument type of the inferred type is denotable.
  • Complete the removal, begun in Java SE 8, of the underscore from the set of legal identifier names.
