[Sravan K Lakkimsetti <sravankumarl@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

  

We are pleased to announce the Java 19 support for Eclipse 2022-09 (4.25).

 

The release notably includes the support of the following Java 19 features:

 

405:        Record Patterns (Preview)

425:        Virtual Threads (Preview)

427:        Pattern Matching for switch (Third Preview)

428:        Structured Concurrency (Incubator)

 

The release can be obtained through one of the following ways:

 

1. Java 19 Marketplace entry : https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/java-19-support-eclipse-2022-09-425
2. P2 update site : https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.25-P-builds/
3. Additionally, the Java 19 support will be available on 4.26 integration builds later this week - download from https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/.

 

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone – the team, contributors, bug reporters, early adopters, and one and all - involved in Java 19 support. And more so for keeping up the dedication and focus in these pandemic times. Special mention to all who took care of non-Java 19 support related activities to keep the master going forward,  which helped a section of team focus and prioritize the Java 19 support work.

 

Thanks and Regards,
Sravan
