Would have been great to see you there. Next time! >> Naturally there is not enough time to explain everything in detail but >> it should be adequate to put our message across.

I tried to gather some fine grained statistics about bugs and used https://udd.debian.org/bugs/ for that. However the results appear very strange to me. There is even a selection for "Java team". I just wanted the total bugs reported in the past 600 days and all RC bugs and all RC bugs fixed (done). It is not very important but if you have some spare time in the next month we could figure this out and create some sort of statistics page like https://blends.debian.org/games/maintstats/ just with more information and for fun. >> What specific OpenJDK changes caused the most grief? > > - New layout of the JDK installation > - Removal of tools.jar > - Removal of the JavaEE APIs (activation, JAXB, JAXWS...) > - Removal of javah > - javac source/target pre 1.6 removal. > - ByteBuffer return type changes (Java 11 compiled code breaks with 8) > - sun.misc.Unsafe breaking changes > - Javadoc pendantic errors, JQuery embedding > > But let's not rant too much and keep the talk positive :) I can't promise that. :) >> Why we all love JavaDoc? :E > > Grrr :) :)
