Added New Features of Java JDK 10 -
1) Better Docker support and technologies awareness
2) Local Variable Type Inference - It is the biggest new feature in Java 10 and it only real developer feature and we will be able to declare variables without having to specify the associated type i.e.
var arraylist = new ArrayList<String>(); // infers ArrayList<String>
var stream = arraylist.stream(); // infers Stream<String>
Instead of -
List<String> arrayList = new ArrayList<String>();
Stream<String> stream = getStream();
3) Parallel full garbage collection for the G1 garbage collector
4) Thread-Local Handshakes
5) Application class-data sharing to optimize start-up time and footprint
