Description

The Java engineering team has been busy for years to see the shortcomings in the earlier versions of Java. Every 2 to 3 years a new and improved version is released, each time mixing proven concepts from other programming languages and the strengths of Java itself.

Java 8 (codename Spider) was released in March 2014 with a vast number of language updates.
