Package
Description
Provides classes that are fundamental to the design of the Java
programming language.
Classes and interfaces to represent nominal descriptors for run-time
entities such as classes or method handles, and classfile entities such as
constant pool entries or
invokedynamic call sites.The
java.lang.invoke package provides low-level primitives for interacting
with the Java Virtual Machine.The
java.lang.runtime package provides low-level runtime support
for the Java language.Contains interfaces and classes that are used to link an
invokedynamic call site.Contains the linker for ordinary Java objects.
Contains interfaces and classes needed by language runtimes to implement
their own language-specific object models and type conversions.
Contains classes that make it more convenient for language runtimes to
implement their own language-specific object models and type conversions
by providing basic implementations of some classes as well as various
utilities.
Contains classes that make using Dynalink more convenient by providing
basic implementations of some classes as well as various utilities.
Classes to support low-level and efficient foreign memory/function access, directly from Java.

Lookup::defineHiddenClassmethod is dynamically added as a new member to the nest of a lookup class and/or whether a hidden class has a strong relationship with the class loader marked as its defining loader.A method type represents the arguments and return type accepted and returned by a method handle, or the arguments and return type passed and expected by a method handle caller.AMutableCallSiteis aCallSitewhose target variable behaves like an ordinary field.StringConcatException is thrown byStringConcatFactorywhen linkage invariants are violated.ASwitchPointis an object which can publish state transitions to other threads.An entity that has a type descriptor.An entity that has a field type descriptor.An entity that has a method type descriptor Method descriptors conforming to JVMS 4.3.3 can be described nominally viaMethodType::describeConstable; otherwise they cannot be described nominally.A VarHandle is a dynamically strongly typed reference to a variable, or to a parametrically-defined family of variables, including static fields, non-static fields, array elements, or components of an off-heap data structure.The set of access modes that specify how a variable, referenced by a VarHandle, is accessed.A nominal descriptor for aVarHandleconstant. -
