It is responsible for collecting data about the running environment, JVM, and Java application and dumps the recorded data into a .jfr file, and which we can consume using Java Mission Co...
2. What is Java Mission Control in Java 11?

7. What is Nest-Based Access Control feature in Java 11?
Nest-Based Access Control, supports private member access within nest members directly, without the need of any auto-generated bridge method. The change is backward compatible, which requires no code change, it is just a Java compiler's optimization to remove the bridge method access internally.
