The upcoming Java Development Kit 25 is set to introduce a Stable Values API, enhancing application startup times through the use of immutable objects. These stable values are treated like constants by the JVM, enabling performance optimizations similar to final fields. Not only does this API aim to decouple the creation of stable values from initialization, allowing more flexibility, but it also assures that these values are initialized only once, thus providing additional performance benefits and constant-folding optimizations previously restricted to internal JDK code.
The proposed Stable Values API for JDK 25 will allow immutably-holding objects to be optimally initialized and boost startup performance for Java apps.
By using stable values, Java applications can break up monolithic initialization processes, improving overall application startup times significantly.
