Java19/Examples

This is an informal page listing examples of features that are implemented by the Java 19 Support, which can be installed from the Marketplace. You are welcome to try out these examples. If you find bugs, please file a bug after checking for a duplicate entry here

Watch out for additional examples being added soon.

NOTE:

  • Pattern Matching for switch is a preview feature in Java 19. They are not enabled by default and can by enabled using --enable-preview.
  • Record Patterns is a preview feature in Java 19. They are not enabled by default and can by enabled using --enable-preview.
  • Virtual Threads is a preview feature in Java 19. They are not enabled by default and can by enabled using --enable-preview.
  • Structured Concurrency is a incubator features in Java 19.
  • In Eclipse, --enable-preview can be enabled from the Preferences > Java > Compiler. It is implicitly added while launching a java program if the feature has been enabled for the project/workspace.
Feature / Steps Expected Result
Standard Java/JRE setup with Eclipse More details can be found on dedicated Java/JRE setup page. Setting up Java/JRE in Eclipse.
Overview of eclipse.ini More details can be found on dedicated eclipse.ini page. Specifying the JVM in eclipse.ini
Preview Feature: Pattern Matching for switch
Positive compilation1 (Pattern Matching for switch Example) Use the following code:
package pkg1;
public class X {
	@SuppressWarnings("preview")
	private static void foo(Object o) {
	   switch (o) {
	     case Integer i     -> System.out.println("String:");
	     case String s     	-> System.out.println("String: Hello World!");
	     default       	-> System.out.println("Object");
	   }
	}
 
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		foo("Hello World");
	}
