Whats new in JDK 7

Below are some new features in JDK 7


  • NIO 2.0 The java.nio.file package and its related package, java.nio.file.attribute, provide comprehensive support for file I/O and for accessing the file system.
  • Sockets Direct Protocol Sockets Direct Protocol (SDP) is a wire protocol developed to support stream connections over InfiniBand fabric.
  • Compressed 64-bit object pointers. A technique for compressing 64-bit pointers to fit into 32 bits, which decreases memory and memory-bandwidth consumption and thereby improves performance
  • VM support for non-Java languages. VM extensions to support the implementation of non-Java languages at performance levels near to that of the Java language itself.
  • Garbage-First GC. A new garbage collector that promises to achieve lower pause times and better predictability than the current CMS collector
