When Did Java Text Blocks Actually Arrive? Uncovering the Real JDK Version
This article clarifies the confusion around Java's text block feature, tracing its introduction from the mistakenly cited Java 17 claim back to its true release in JDK 14 and JDK 15, and offers guidance on how to use it effectively.
Yesterday I shared a link titled "Java 17 New Feature: Text Blocks", but a friend pointed out that this feature was actually released with JDK 14.
Further investigation showed that the feature is officially part of JDK 15.
Testing with JDK 14 also appears to work, raising the question of which version truly introduced text blocks.
Below is a brief look at the evolution of Java text blocks.
If you are not yet familiar with text blocks, you can watch the video I posted yesterday to see how to use this feature.
