Hi Volker,
thanks for your clarification in brief words.
That's exactly what me irritates too.
I would be so convenient, having some debug builds somewhere to download, ready
for use.
To be exact, the 6u25 fastdebug binary, you have mentioned, is not a release version, it's an EA
version.

Just to be clear:
- I know that this an OpenJDK mailing list
- I know that http://jdk[6,7,8].java.net/download.html contains Oracle
JDK binaries
- I know I can build OpenJDK fastdebug build myself (even on Windows:)
But I just thought that some of the Oracle folks on this list may know
why 6u25 is the only release
for which the download page currently offers debug builds:
http://download.java.net/jdk6/6u25/promoted/b03/index.html
while this is not the case for any other release (nor before 6u25 and
neither after 6u25)
Thank you and best regards,
Volker

Hi,
I could have sworn that
http://jdk6.java.net/download.html and
http://jdk7.java.net/download.html
always contained product AND "fastdebug" builds, but as I just
verified today there are no more "fastdebug" builds available neither
for JDK6 nor for JDK7 and JDK8.
Is this intentional?
Is there any other source for debug builds of the original Oracle JDK?
The debug builds have always been very useful to track down problems,
especially because many of the diagnostic VM options are only
available in debug builds.
Regards,
Volker
