Hi all, yesterday JDK9 early access documentation has been made available at http://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/ .
This includes the GC tuning guide at http://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/gc tuning/toc.htm: while we tried to improve the documentation throughout, we are aware that there is still lots of work to do on the overall document. However, we basically rewrote chapter 9 "Garbage-First Collector" and chapter 10 "Garbage-First Garbage Collector Tuning" to coincide with G1 becoming the default collector. Particularly the tuning chapter tries to collect answers to many problems people had with G1 that have been discussed in the last few years, also and in particular on this mailing list. (Thanks everyone for coming here and talking about issues you had) I hope the document is a significant improvement on the old one for you. Feedback about any part of it is highly appreciated. If you see anything missing or wrong, we will try to fix it or at least save your feedback for the next bigger update. Thanks, Thomas P.S: And yes, chapter 10 can be seen as a to-do list for future improvements :) _______________________________________________ hotspot-gc-use mailing list hotspot-gc-use@openjdk.java.net http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/hotspot-gc-use
