JEP 429, Extent-Local Variables (Incubator), was promoted from its JEP Draft 8263012 to Candidate status. This incubating JEP, under the umbrella of Project Loom, proposes enabling the sharing of ...

The "Understanding Java threads" series concludes by uncovering some of the loose ends of threading: thread groups, volatility, thread-local variables, timers, and thread death.

Tip: Unlike class and instance field variables, threads cannot share local variables and parameters. The reason: Local variables and parameters allocate on a thread’s method-call stack.

For example in Java, classes, interfaces and enums should all be written in Pascal case. Local variables declared within the body of a Java program should be written in lower camel case.
