The Java Version Almanac is a reference website and content repository documenting the history and future of Java releases, features, APIs, and JDK specifications. It is built with Hugo and published at javaalmanac.io under a CC BY-SA 4.0 license.

Use cases

  • look up which Java version introduced a feature
  • check JDK release dates and EOL status
  • compare Java APIs across versions
  • find details about a specific JEP
  • check which Java versions are LTS
  • research the history of the Java language

When to choose

  • you need a quick, authoritative reference on Java version history and features
  • you want to compare language, VM, or API changes across JDK releases

When to avoid

  • you need a runnable library or tool rather than reference content
  • you need official or exhaustive specification documents instead of curated summaries
