@theresa-m does your Java 12 PR cover the methods specified here?

[JasonFengJ9]

There are couple of new additions:

public Optional<String> describeConstable()
public String resolveConstantDesc​(MethodHandles.Lookup lookup)

[theresa-m]

I have not covered the align/indent/transform methods. describeConstable and resolveConstantDesc are part of jep334. the pr for them is #4105

[JasonFengJ9]

It appears align() & align(int) have been removed.

[theresa-m]

@sharon-wang can you start look at indent(int)?

[pshipton]

@JasonFengJ9 @theresa-m is somebody looking at transform?

@JasonFengJ9 @theresa-m is somebody looking at transform?

In addition I'd like to add to please take a look at the corresponding StringLatin1 and StringUTF16 classes to see if OpenJDK has already added helpers for these APIs which we can reuse. IIRC that was the case for some of the previous Java 12 methods.

@sharon-wang FYI as well.

[JasonFengJ9]

is somebody looking at transform?

Not that I am aware of.

[pshipton]

@DanHeidinga we need an implementation for String.transform​(Function<? super String,? extends R> f)

@theresa-m @sharon-wang any outlook for indent(int)? The feature complete date is Feb 25.
There is no StringLatin1, StringUTF16 helper.

[JasonFengJ9]

Will take String.transform​(Function<? super String,? extends R> f).

[theresa-m]

We're on it. @sharon-wang is working on some tests for the method.
