Java 9 with JShell

By: Gaston C. Hillar

Overview of this book

The release of Java 9 has brought many subtle and not-so-subtle changes to the way in which Java programmers approach their code. The most important ones are definitely the availability of a REPL, known as JShell, which will make experiments and prototyping much more straightforward than the old IDE-based project-led approach. Another, more subtle change can be seen in the module system, which will lead to more modularized, maintainable code. The techniques to take full advantage of object-oriented code, functional programming and the new modularity features in Java 9 form the main subjects of this book. Each chapter will add to the full picture of Java 9 programming starting out with classes and instances and ending with generics and modularity in Java.

Creating instances of a generic class with two generic type parameters


We can create instances of the PartyWithHearable<T, U> class by replacing both the T and U generic type parameters with any type names that conform to the constraints or the upper bounds specified in the declaration of the PartyWithHearable<T, U> class. We have three concrete classes that implement both the Sociable and Comparable<Sociable> interfaces required by the T generic type parameter: SocialLion, SocialParrot, and SocialSwan. We have two classes that implement the Hearable interface required by the U generic type parameter: Smartphone and AnimalMusicBand.

We can use SocialLion and Smartphone to create an instance of PartyWithHearable<SocialLion, Smartphone>, that is, a party of social lions and a smartphone. Then, we can use SocialParrot and AnimalMusicBand to create an instance of PartyWithHearable<SocialParrot, AnimalMusicBand>, that is, a party of social parrots and an animal music...
