The goal of this long-running Project is to produce a series of open-source reference implementations of the Java SE Platform, as specified by JSRs in the Java Community Process. The Project ships a feature release every six months according to a strict, time-based model, as proposed.
This release is the Reference Implementation of version 22 of the Java SE Platform, as specified by JSR 397 in the Java Community Process.
JDK 22 reached General Availability on 19 March 2024. Production-ready binaries under the GPL are available from Oracle; binaries from other vendors will follow shortly.
The features and schedule of this release were proposed and tracked via the JEP Process, as amended by the JEP 2.0 proposal. The release was produced using the JDK Release Process (JEP 3).
