Thanks for reading :) Title: Opening the Oracle JDK Abstract:

We are going to open-source all of the features in the Oracle JDK. There will be zero differences between the OpenJDK and the Oracle JDK.

- Mark Cavage, JavaOne keynote October 2017 This announcement by Mark got a big round of applause, but what does it actually mean? What are the commercial features and when will they be available? I'll talk through some of them, focusing mainly on those which are interesting and/or likely to be released soon. Speaker Bio: Matthew is a (somewhat) functional programmer who enjoys all kinds of language nerdery as well as whisky. He currently works on open-source code at Oracle, helping to make Java in the cloud as good as it can be. Past lives include OpenStacking, teaching English to highschoolers and a whole lot of Clojure and Java.
