Hi All,
I want to ask for your help in testing Early Access builds with real
world applications.
Early Access binaries built from the JDK 8 code base are available today
from Oracle,
at http://jdk8.java.net
If someone else is regularly making Early Access binaries available for
testing as well,
feel free to share their location in a reply to this message
We're looking to broaden our test coverage, to catch possible
"showstoppers " before
we release. An effective way to do that is to leverage the tests of
other products that
use Java in real world applications.
In the past couple of weeks I have been working with Wilfly & Apache
Lucene. They
have agreed to test our latest builds and report issues.
As it happens both groups started testing with b109 , when they moved to
b111 they
both reported the following issue :
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8026394
This issue was resolved in b114 , testing by Apache Lucene & RedHat
Wilfly confirmed
the fix.
If you are willing to regularly run your tests with EA builds and report
back if there are
any issues we would love to hear from you on this mailing list. If you
find issues, please
report them through bugs.sun.com (unless you already have an account in
the JDK Bug
System), and post the incident ID from the confirmation e-mail to this
list.
I am sure early warning of compatibility problems or potential
regressions is useful to
all of us.Let me know if you are interested, we really appreciate your
help!
Rgds,Rory
