Here is another post about offline installers of Java 8 which has recently been released.  Java is a popular language which is used for a wide variety of purposes. It powers mobile devices as well as gives dynamic functionality to websites.

Recently Java has been a victim of quite a few vulnerabilities but Oracle has bounced back by releasing security updates to the language and the runtime environment regularly.

What’s new in Java 8

Most of the enhancements and updates in Java 8 are related to the programming language. Users should feel more secure once they update to Java 8 which is the most secure version of Java to date.

Java 8 Standard Edition

Some of the enhancements of Java 8 are:

  • Lambda Expressions enable you to encapsulate a single unit of behavior and pass it to another code. You can use a lambda expression if you want a certain action performed on each element of a collection, when a process is completed, or when a process encounters an error.
  • Improved Type Inference – The Java compiler takes advantage of target typing to infer the type parameters of a generic method invocation. The target type of expression is the data type that the Java compiler expects to depend on where the expression appears. For example, you can use an assignment statement’s target type for type inference in Java SE 7. However, in Java SE 8, you can use the target type for type inference in more contexts. The most prominent example is using a method invocation’s target types to infer the data types of its arguments.
  • Annotations on Java Types – It is now possible to apply an annotation anywhere a type is used. Used in conjunction with a pluggable type system, this allows for stronger type checking of your code.
  • Repeating Annotations – It is now possible to apply the same annotation type more than once to the same declaration or type use.

If you are a developer and want to know more about these changes and enhancements, here’s a good starter Java 8 tutorial from Winterbe.

      Sorry for the issue. Oracle has updated their license terms. Now you have to accept the license before you can download Java Runtime. That’s why I gave the link to the download page of Oracle. You can go to the download page, accept the license agreement and download the offline installers.
