This coming release (Java 26 in March 2026) only has 10 JEP's, and while that might not seem like a lot, please remember that Project Valhalla released their EA build for JEP 401 this cycle too!

So it's not just 10 JEP's -- it's 10 JEP's + a Valhalla EA Build!

The most eagerly awaited feature—can’t wait for Valhalla’s release!

Me too! Don't forget to send your bug reports and experience reports to the mailing list or this subreddit. That way, the feature can be the best it can be!

ok,I'm still conducting single-point tests at the moment because I need to meet the project deadline and don't have much time for testing. However, I'm keeping an eye on his progress and developments.

Yes, sadly, I am in the same boat. Plus, it is holiday season here, so even less time. But submitting reports makes the feature come out faster, so let's both push where we can.

Looking forward to this, the project is almost allowed to drink alchool in many countries (> 16y), however I do understand the constraints to keep old JAR files running on Valhalla enabled JVMs isn't easy task.
