Features | Milestones | Mailing Lists | JEPs | JDK 8 Project | Official Release |

This page is a collection of Articles for each feature in Java 8. The main working JSR for Java SE 8 is JSR-337.

Java 8 is now out (as of the 18th of March 2014) – here is the official announcement and the download page.

I will keep this page updated with new resources as they’re created (and as I find them).

To keep track of what’s going in with the next release – Java 9 – I have a page that I frequently update with new developments here:
