Hi all, we have the chance to join the OpenJDK Quality Outreach initiative [1].
They try to encourage popular open source projects to test their releases on latest OpenJDK Early Access builds (i.e. JDK 14 -ea, atm), by providing them with regular information describing new builds, their features, and making sure that their bug reports and feedback land in the right hands. So in that sense, being able to expand the set of projects testing against the latest JDK Early Access builds across many domains can help detect issues that would otherwise be only detected once a release is shipped. As you can see from [1], there are several ASF projects listed there, so I believe there is nothing preventing us to do so. Since our master branch builds are based on OpenJDK 11, I think the only requirement left would be to set up a CI job against OpenJDK 14-EA, which is definitely something we can afford. WDYT? Regards.
