Added New Features of Java JDK 10 -

1.  Better Docker support and technologies awareness

2.  Local Variable Type Inference - It is the main new feature in Java 10 and it only real developer feature and we will be able to declare variables without having to specify the connected type i.e.

var arraylist = new ArrayList<String>();  // infers ArrayList<String>

var stream = arraylist.stream();          // infers Stream<String>

Instead of -

List<String> arrayList = new ArrayList<String>();

Stream<String> stream = getStream();

3. Parallel full garbage collection for the G1 garbage collector

4.  Thread-Local Handshakes

5.  Application class-data sharing to optimize start-up time and footprint

6.  New APIs to better enable creation of unmodifiable collections.

7.  The Just-in-time (JIT) compiler can be used on the Linux/x64 platform.

8.  Cleaner Garbage Collection Interface and its used to improve source-code isolation of different garbage collectors.

9.  Consolidation of JDK Repositories

10.  Heap Allocation on Alternative Memory Devices

11.  Time-Based Release Versioning

12.  Root Certificates - The main aims of Root Certificates is - to reduce the difference between the OpenJDK and Oracle JDK builds.

13.  Remove the Native-Header Generation Tool
