Presented by Kalyan Prasad Tatavarthi (IBM) at EclipseCon 2022.
Java language has been evolving at a fast pace with the six-month release cadence and preview features. These language features will be discussed in detail in the talk "Brewing Patterns in Java - An Informal Primer."
Eclipse IDE provides a list of UI features built on top of this Java language support. Hence, Eclipse IDE also needs to keep pace with the new Java release cycle with support added in UI for the new features - both standard and preview. These Java 18 and 19 features would include Support for 'Code Snippets in Java API Documentation', 'Pattern Matching for Switch', 'Record Patterns'.
Eclipse IDE has multiple UI support for all of these features. Some of the existing UI features have been enhanced to support the new Java features. Additionally, we have come up with a bouquet of tailor made intuitive new menu items and wizards that cater exclusively to these new Java features. This would include new Menu items, Wizards, Quick Fixes, Quick Assists, Refactoring Support, ASTView support, Search Support and so on. These UI features will be dealt with in detail in my presentation through live demos with relevant code snippets.
