More New I/O APIs for the Java Platform
This Project's mission is to produce the implementation of the (New) New I/O APIs being defined by JSR 203 as well as related work in the JDK.
The main "umbrella" RFEs for this work are:
- 4313887 New I/O: Improved filesystem interface
- 4640544 New I/O: Complete socket-channel functionality
- 4607272 New I/O: Support asynchronous I/O
This Project is sponsored by the OpenJDK Core Libraries Group.
Status
The bulk of the API and implementation was integrated into jdk7 b50 for M2, with a refresh of the file system API in M4, and a refresh of the asynchronous I/O API in M5. Work on outstanding API and implementation issues will continue here.
