• Project Jigsaw - Modular Source Code:

The aim of this Project Jigsaw’s to make Java modular and spate the JRE to interoperable components. It is one of the most talks about the feature for Java 9. This feature just needs 4 steps towards creating project Jigsaw and will not alter the structure of the JRE and JDK. The main purpose of this feature is to help regroup the JDK source code into modules and improve the module boundaries at build time. Earlier this feature intended to include with Java 8 but it is now likely to integrate with Java 9.

• JShell: the interactive Java REPL:

This feature Read Eval Print-Loop is already found and now with the new version Java also likely to joins this club. Now Java developer can use JShell from the console and directly code and execute Java code. Moreover, the quick feedback of Jshell helps to make this as the best tool to explore APIs and try out this excellent language features. Testing of a Java regular expression is an example of how jhell can make life easier. The interactive also helps for creating the great environment and helps to boost the Java Development process.

• Improved Javadoc:

In the development platform, few changes may do wonder for the entire process. If anyone uses Google all the time to find the right Javadoc pages, then it is not at all necessary. Javadoc allows search right in the API documentation itself. Moreover, Javadoc is now HTML5 compliant so every Javadoc page should have information about the wheater that JDK module is class or interface?

• Multi-release JARs:

Another feature that should be highlighting is especially good news for library maintainers is that when a Java 9 will available, it takes years for all users to switch to this new version. That means the library which is compatible along with the oldest version of Java support. That effectively means that the new features of Java 9 development platform in the library for a long time. At that time, multirelease.jar should be used on Java 9, instead of using the top-level multi release.

• HTTP/2:

The new version likely to offers an entirely innovative way of performing HTTP calls. However, it is nothing new but a replacement of the old `HttpURLConnection` This new API also provide support for WebSockets and HTTP/2. Furthermore, the new API is delivered with the Java 9. That means the API isn't yet 100% final to ship with the Java 9, but it has more likely to attach to this version.

Thus, we can say that Java 9 has plenty of potentials to make a significant change in the web development field as it offers plenty of ease and lots useful features that help Outsourcing Java Developers imminently and streamline the entire process.
