Abstract
Welcome to the Pro Java 9 Games Development book. In this first chapter, I'm going to discuss the various versions of Java which are still being used today to develop software applications for open source platforms such as Android, as well as for open source browsers based on WebKit, such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and Opera. After going over which versions of Java, spanning from JDK 1.6, also known as Java 6, through JDK 1.9, which was recently released as Java 9, will need to be used to develop for various versions of these popular platforms. We'll also need to take a detailed look at how to create a professional Java 9 software development workstation for use during the rest of this book. This will include other software such as new media content production software packages which can be used with your Java software development packages to create games and IoT (Internet of Things) applications.
