> This is an update to javac and javadoc, to introduce support for Preview > APIs, and generally improve javac and javadoc > behavior to more closely adhere to JEP 12. > The notable changes are: > > * adding support for Preview APIs (javac until now supported primarily only > preview language features, and APIs > associated with preview language features). This includes: > * the @PreviewFeature annotation has boolean attribute "reflective", > which should be true for reflective Preview APIs, > false otherwise. This replaces the existing "essentialAPI" attribute > with roughly inverted meaning. > * the preview warnings for preview APIs are auto-suppressed as described > in the JEP 12. E.g. the module that declares the > preview API is free to use it without warnings > * improving error/warning messages. Please see [1] for a list of > cases/examples. > * class files are only marked as preview if they are using a preview > feature. [1] also shows if a class file is marked as > preview or not. > * the PreviewFeature annotation has been moved to jdk.internal.javac package > (originally was in the jdk.internal package). > * Preview API in JDK's javadoc no longer needs to specify @preview tag in > the source files. javadoc will auto-generate a > note for @PreviewFeature elements, see e.g. [2] and [3] (non-reflective > and reflective API, respectively). A summary of > preview elements is also provided [4]. Existing uses of @preview have been > updated/removed. > * non-JDK javadoc is also enhanced to auto-generate preview notes for uses > of Preview elements, and for declaring > elements using preview language features [5]. > > Please also see the CSR [6] for more information. > > [1] http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jlahoda/8250768/JEP12-errors-warnings-v6.html > [2] > http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jlahoda/8250768/jdk.javadoc.00/api/java.base/java/lang/Record.html > [3] > > http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jlahoda/8250768/jdk.javadoc.00/api/java.compiler/javax/lang/model/element/RecordComponentElement.html > [4] > http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jlahoda/8250768/jdk.javadoc.00/api/preview-list.html > [5] > http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jlahoda/8250768/test.javadoc.00/ [6] > https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8250769
