With Java 25 , One interesting changes can view is JEP 512, "Compact Source Files and Instance Main Methods," significantly simplifies the structure of simple Java programs, particularly for beginners or when writing quick scripts.
Traditional "Hello, World!" (Pre-JEP 512):
"Hello, World!" with JEP 512 (Compact Source File):
Key Changes Illustrated by the Example:
- The
HelloWorldclass declaration is no longer required. The compiler implicitly creates a class for the source file. - The
public static void main(String[] args)signature can be reduced to simplyvoid main(). Thestatickeyword is no longer necessary as the runtime can now create an instance of the implicit class and invoke themainmethod as an instance method. - This change eliminates the need for boilerplate code associated with class and static method declarations, making Java more approachable for simple programs and scripting.
This simplification allows developers to focus directly on the core logic of their program without the overhead of traditional class structure for small, self-contained units of code.
