I've read through the slides for the major talks this year. They presented the exact same Java 8 content at last year's JavaOne 2011 show: lambdas, collection library updates, etc.

Is there anything new this year? typesafe is showing off their new products which are amazing. But is the core Java team showing anything new? 

There is surprisingly little talk about JavaOne or announcements on this group.

Of course it's silent in here ! They're all at JavaOne. :-p

I would think JavaFX is the major feature. No ?

If I download the latest build from http://jdk8.java.net/lambda/, I can use lambdas perfectly, but I don't see the new functional enhancements to collections (filter, forEach, map, etc). Anyone know when this will be available?

I have downloaded that, and I do see those.  Take a look at the Iterable interface, it's got all these methods (some pasting errors around generics below, these are not raw types):

  • allMatch(Predicate): boolean
  • anyMatch(Predicate): boolean
  • count(): long
  • cumulate(BinaryOperator): Iterable
  • filter(Predicate): Iterable
  • flatMap(Mapper>): Iterable
  • forEach(Block): void
  • getAny(): T
  • getFirst(): T
  • getOnly(): T
  • groupBy(Mapper): MapStream>
  • groupByMulti(Mapper>): MapStream>
  • into(A): A
  • isEmpty(): boolean
  • iterator(): Iterator
  • map(Mapper): Iterable
  • mapped(Mapper): MapStream
  • mapReduce(DoubleMapper, double, DoubleBinaryOperator): double
  • mapReduce(IntMapper, int, IntBinaryOperator): int
  • mapReduce(LongMapper, long, LongBinaryOperator): long
  • mapReduce(Mapper, U, BinaryOperator): U
  • noneMatch(Predicate): boolean
  • reduce(T, BinaryOperator): T
  • sorted(Comparator): Iterable
  • uniqueElements(): Iterable

Terribly sorry, they are all there and working. I'm having glitches with early builds of IntelliJ 12's Java 8 support (to be expected), but the functional collection enhancements are there and work as expected. thanks.
