Java Learning Center Java 8 New Features
1. Introduction

 Java 8 is a revolutionary release of the World’s #1 development platform.

 It includes a huge upgrade to the Java programming model and a coordinated evolution of
the JVM, Java language, and libraries.
 Java 8 includes features for productivity, ease of use, security and improved performance.
 Welcome to the latest iteration of the largest, open, standards-based, community-driven
platform.

 Java8 Release comes with Many new features as Listed

1) Default Methods in Interface

2) Static Methods in Interface
3) Lambda Expressions
4) Method References
5) Functional Interfaces
6) Functional Programming
7) Streams API
8) Joda Date API
9) Optional Class
10)Miscellaneous Features

Java Learning Center 3 Java 8 New Features

 1. Default Methods in Interface
 Concrete methods (Methods with Body) Defined in the Interface with default keyword
are called as Default Methods.
 Default methods are also known as defender methods or virtual extension methods
 Default Methods are public by default.
 Default Methods will be inherited to Sub classes.
 Sub class can override the Interface Default Methods.
 We can’t write default methods inside a class. Even when we are overriding the default
method in sub class, we should not use default keyword for sub class method.
 We can’t override Object class methods as default methods inside Interface

Why Default Methods:

 We can define new functionality in the interfaces without breaking down the
implementing classes
 We can avoid writing separate utility classes

are called as Static Methods.
 Static Methods are public by default.
 Static Methods will not be inherited to Sub classes.
