NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar. Understand more

Assess ?

We don't routinely feature new versions of languages, but we wanted to highlight the new long-term support (LTS) version of Java, version 17. While there are promising new features, such as the preview of pattern matching, it's the switch to the new LTS process that should interest many organizations. We recommend organizations assess new releases of Java as and when they become available, making sure they adopt new features and versions as appropriate. Surprisingly many organizations do not routinely adopt newer versions of languages even though regular updates help keep things small and manageable. Hopefully the new LTS process, alongside organizations moving to regular updates, will help avoid the "too expensive to update" trap that ends with production software running on an end-of-life version of Java.
