- Moved existing Java mapping sources to java-compat subdirectory
- Added new "Java 8" mapping in java subdirectory
- Significant features of Java 8 mapping:
- All classes in com.zeroc package (e.g., com.zeroc.Ice.Communicator)
- New AMI mapping that uses java.util.concurrent.CompletableFuture
- New AMD mapping that uses java.util.concurrent.CompletionStage
- New mapping for out parameters - "holder" types have been eliminated
- New mapping for optional types that uses JDK classes from java.util
(e.g., java.util.Optional)
- "TIE" classes are no longer supported or necessary; servant classes
now only need to implement a generated interface
- Moved IceGrid GUI to new mapping
- The "Java Compat" mapping is provided only for backward compatibility
to ease migration to Ice 3.7. The Slice compiler supports a new --compat
option to generate code for this mapping. However, users are encouraged
to migrate to the new mapping as soon as possible.
