			<h1>Java Fork</h1>

			<p><a href="java.html">Java 8</a> is good reactionary software but is essentially unsupported.  So someone should fork it and maintain and improve it.  I suggest these improvements:</p>

			<ul>
				<li>Fix inner classes as described <a href="https://mikraite.arkian.net/Jave-inner-classes-tp3503.html">here</a>.</li>
				<li>Replace generics with a cleaner solution.</li>
				<li>Remove static imports.</li>
				<li>Remove lambda expressions.</li>
				<li>Swing JLabel should have selectable and copyable text.</li>
			</ul>

			<p>There is no need for backward compatibility.  People who want that can just use Java 8 as is.  The fork is for reactionary programmers who are actively writing code, so the fork should be as clean as possible.</p>
