The collections framework was introduced in JDK 1.2 back in 1998 and is still in heavy use today. Although its fundamentals remain unchanged, it has evolved considerably since its introduction and it continues to evolve. This session describes some of the recent enhancements made to collections, with a focus on the enhancements added to Java 9. Of particular note is JEP 269, Convenience Factory Methods, a library-based API that serves the purpose of collection literals. Finally, the session provides a glimpse of some possible future enhancements for the collections framework.
