Kill the Java browser plugin. Also, delay by another year and use the opportunity to bring in Jigsaw. Lambdas are nice, but in the big picture, Jigsaw is huge.

- rlmw 13y agoSeems pretty likely that Jigsaw will take > 1 year to complete.
- batgaijin 13y agowhat does jigsaw bring to the table? what does its existence imply?
- suyash 13y agoRead about it and ask more specific questions: http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jigsaw/ http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jigsaw/
- warmwaffles 13y agoI had no idea this existed. This would be nice. I used to like Java's packaging, until I was introduced to better methods of packaging, like Ruby, Python, etc... Glad to see that this is on the table.
- pootch 13y agoJigsaw will likely never be implemented because of IBMs cram down of OSGI (which should have never been implemented). Look Java is a dead language. The only reason people even talk about module systems for Java is they have this fantasy that they can reduce JVM startup time to something faster than watching paint dry on the millenium falcon. Java has a module system already its called Jar files. Adding more features especially features like modules to Java will only increase the likelihood that noone will want to use this language in the future, and most already dont.
