Java 14 and IntelliJ IDEA

Java 14 has a lot of exciting language features for us developers:
- Records,
- Pattern Matching for instanceof,
- Text Blocks,
- Switch Expressions.

In this screencast, we'll cover how to use these features in IntelliJ IDEA.

Could you please get the previous speaker back?

[kalvins]

Excuse me





I wrote this code :

package com.codewithkalvin;

import java.awt.*;


public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {
Point point1 = new Point(x: 1, y: 1) ;
Point point2 = point1;
point1.x = 2;
System.out.println(point 2);



}

}


and when I run, I still get errors.Why?


These are the errors I'm getting:


Error(9, 35) java: ')' expected
Error(9, 44) java: 'not a statement
Error(9, 45) java: ';' expected
Error(12, 33) java: ')' expected

Is there any way to solve this?

I’ve never heard an Indian speaker with such a good sound quality

Please, add a way to configure preview features using gradle projects. Every time I refresh gradle file, the project remove the extra features that I set like in the video (reproducible on JDK 13 and 14)

Very nicely explained with concise and clear examples. Thank you!

Eyo mates! I guess you have missed out the I at the title where it says "IntellJ " xd

It’s nice to see java slowly catching up with Kotlin/swift and other modern languages.

But unfortunately, many companies are not even on java 11 yet.

Better off switching to kotlin with all of these features and seamless java interop.

Please do a video on Kotlin + IntelliJ features

Good that Java is moving in the right direction in terms of features, Albeit too slow. Better to adopt Kotlin. Even with all the Java improvements, it still requires writing too much code for getting something done. Many companies are still in Java 8. Probably it will take a couple of decades to have all these features mainstream.
