		jkot on March 10, 2016 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: JEP 286: Local-Variable Type Inference I hope they will give it second though. In Java 'var' or 'val' are not reserved keywords. It was difficult to migrate existing code when 'enum' was introduced. 'const' is reserved but nothing for variable, perhaps 'new' or some symbols.

They will be made into reserved type names. Since classes with those names violate naming conventions anyway they should be quite rare.
