2) Local Variable Type Reference( support of var ) : This is one of the most awaiting feature for java to be added as most of the other programming language is already supporting the Local variable type reference feature but JAVA was the only popular programming language which was not supporting var support , but in JDK 10 , we can use var keyword
var str = "Java 10"; // infers String 
var list = new ArrayList<String>(); // infers ArrayList<String> 
var stream = list.stream(); // infers Stream<String>
3)Application class Data sharing : Now in Java 10 , we can share application classes as well , so what is class data sharing is , actually there is a shared class in JRE where JRE dump its file called shared archive, which is used to load the library of JRE. Now in Java 10 we can added the Application class as well in shared class.

4) Root Certificate :  Untill java 9 , there are 2 JDKs available OpenJDK and OracleJDK , Java need to maintain the build of both the jdk to be same so that they can used anywhere , Now in Java 10 , Root Certificate is included by help of which both the JDK will maintain the similarity.(read more)




5)Consolidated JDK Forest into Single Repository : Until java 9 , Java have 9 mini repository where it maintain its library online , these are  root, corba, hotspot, jaxp, jaxws, jdk, langtools, and nashorn. now from java 10 onward , they have consolidated all the mini repository into one single repository.

6)Heap Allocation on Alternate Memory Devices - This is one of the most important feature of java 10 as it shows the java vision of future , from java 10 onward , we can now able to use he memory devices to be used as allocation of heap memory . this will definitely going to change the perception of java for machines.
