JDK 9 Developer Preview is now available on java.net
Hi Nick, *JDK 9 Developer Preview is now available on java.net [1] * Developer Preview milestone: - A reasonably stable build suitable for broad testing by the developer community is available. JDK 9 Builds 163 and higher include all planned features. *Attention annotation processing users and authors - * Request for feedback on annotation processing API changes made in JDK 9. As has been done previously during Java SE 7 and Java SE 8, the JSR 269 annotation processing API is undergoing a maintenance review (MR) as part of Java SE 9. Details of the changes in JDK 9 Early Access build 163 & build 164 available here [2] Please report experiences running processors under JDK 9 and feedback on the API changes to the compiler-dev mailing list. (If you haven’t already subscribed to that list then please do so first, otherwise your message will be discarded as spam.)

JDK 9 EA Build 159 and JDK 8u152 is available on java.net
Hi Nick,
*JDK 8u152 **Early Access b01 <https://jdk8.java.net/download.html> *is
available on java.net
*JDK 9 Early Access* b159 <https://jdk9.java.net/download/> is
available on java.net, summary of changes are listed here
<http://download.java.net/java/jdk9/changes/jdk-9+159.html>.
There have been a number of fixes to bugs reported by Open Source
projects since the last availability email :
* b159 - JDK-8175261 : Per-protocol cache setting not working for JAR
URLConnection
* b158 - JDK-8173028 : Incorrect processing of supplementary-plane
characters in text fields
* b158 - JDK-8172967 : [macosx] Exception while working with layout
for text containing unmappable character
* b158 - JDK-8173804 : javadoc throws UnsupportedOperationException:
should not happen
* b157 - JDK-8174073 : NPE caused by @link reference to class
* b156 - JDK-8172726 : ForkJoin common pool retains a reference to the
thread context class loader
The following changeset is included in jdk-9+158:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/dev/jdk/rev/8b0d55e02f54
If you have a user-defined Policy implementation that grants
FilePermission on ${user.dir}/-, reading a file in the current directory
using its base name will fail. Still the same solution: Ensure that the
path used in permission granting has the same style as the one how you
access the file.
Setting -Djdk.security.filePermCompat=true will take you back to the
jdk-9+140 behavior.
Setting -Djdk.io.permissionsUseCanonicalPath=true will take you back to
the jdk8 behavior.
Feedback is welcome on jdk9-...@openjdk.java.net

JDK 9 b148 including a refresh of the module system is available on java.net
Hi Nick, JDK 9 build b148 <https://jdk9.java.net/download/> includes an important Refresh of the module system [1] , summary of changes are listed here <http://download.java.net/java/jdk9/changes/jdk-9+148.html>. *This refresh includes a disruptive change that is important to understand. *For those that have been trying out modules with regular JDK 9 builds then be aware that `requires public` changes to `requires transitive`. In addition, the binary representation of the module declaration (module-info.class) has changed so that you need to recompile any modules that were compiled with previous JDK 9 builds. As things stand today in JDK 9 then you use setAccessible to break into non-public elements of any type in exported packages. However, it cannot be used to break into any type in non-exported package. The current specified behavior was a compromise for the initial integration of the module system. It is of course not very satisfactory, hence the #AwkwardStrongEncapsulation issue [2] on the JSR 376 issues list. With the updated proposal in the JSR, this refresh changes setAccessible further so that it cannot be used to break into non-public types, or non-public elements of public types, in exported packages. Code that uses setAccessible to hack into the private constructor of java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.Lookup will be disappointed for example. This change will expose hacks in many existing libraries and tools. As a workaround then a new command line option `--add-opens` can be used to open specific packages for "deep reflection". For example, a really popular build tool fails with this refresh because it uses setAccessible + core reflection to hack into a private field of an unmodifiable collection so that it can mutate it, facepalm! This code will continue to work as before when run with `--add-opens java.base/java.util=ALL-UNNAMED` to open the package java.util in module java.base to "all unnamed modules" (think class path). *Any help reporting issues to popular tools and libraries would be appreciated. * A debugging aid that is useful to identify issues is to run with -Dsun.reflect.debugModuleAccessChecks=true to get a stack trace when setAccessible fails, this is particularly useful when code swallows exceptions without any logging.

We are requesting feedback on a change that went into JDK 9 b140 The java.io.FilePermission class was changed to remove pathname canonicalization from its creation, along with a system property to revert the behavior back to way it worked in the previous JDK release. We do this mainly for performance enhancement so that there is no need to consult the file system every time a FilePermisson is created. If you use a security manager and file permissions then you should read the details as described on the jdk9 mailing list [1] Feedback is requested via core-libs-...@openjdk.java.net The new GA date of JDK 9 has been updated on the JDK 9 Project page [2], further details in Mark Reinhold's email [3].

Currently, HttpURLConnection.connect() call would fallback to a DIRECT connection attempt if the configured proxy/proxies failed to make a connection. This release introduces a change whereby no DIRECT connection will be attempted in such a scenario. Instead, the HttpURLConnection.connect() method will fail and throw an IOException which occurred from the last proxy tested. This behavior now matches with the HTTP connections made by popular web browsers. But this change will bring compatibility issues for the applications expecting a DIRECT connection when a proxy server is down or when wrong proxies are provided. * JDK 9 Outreach Survey* In order to encourage and receive additional feedback from developers testing their applications with JDK 9, the OpenJDK Quality Outreach effort has put together a very brief survey about your experiences with JDK 9 so far.

There are several changes in this update, JDK 9 b118 has the updated policy for root modules described in JEP 261 [1]. This means that java.corba and the 6 EE modules aren't resolved by default and so it will look "as if" the types in these modules have been removed. More info on the JDK 9 dev mailing list [2]. A change that went into JDK 9 b102 is worth mentioning: JDK9: Remove stopThread RuntimePermission from the default java.policy In previous releases, untrusted code had the "stopThread" RuntimePermission granted by default. This permission allows untrusted code to call Thread.stop(), initiating an asynchronous ThreadDeath Error, on threads in the same thread group. Having a ThreadDeath Error thrown asynchronously is not something that trusted code should be expected to handle gracefully. The permission is no longer granted by default.

Early Access b113 <https://jdk9.java.net/jigsaw/> (#4664) for JDK 9 with Project Jigsaw is available on java.net. * The important change in this build is that root modules when compiling code in the unnamed module, or when running and the main class is loaded from the class path, do not include the EE modules. More on this in JEP 261. * The other change in this build is that the -Xpatch option is now aligned with what we have documented in JEP 261, support for the old form has been removed. We are very interested in hearing your experiences in testing any Early Access builds. Have you have begun testing against JDK 9 and or JDK 9 with Project Jigsaw EA builds, have you uncovered showstopper issues that you would like to discuss? We would really like to hear your findings so far, either reply to me or via the mailing lists [1], [2].

Project Jigsaw: The module system was integrated into JDK 9 and is now available for testing in early-access, build 111.
Hi Nick, Project Jigsaw <http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jigsaw/> is an enormous effort, encompassing six JEPs <http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jigsaw/#jeps> implemented by dozens of engineers over many years. So far we’ve defined a modular structure for the JDK (JEP 200 <http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/200>), reorganized the source code according to that structure (JEP 201 <http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/201>), and restructured the JDK and JRE run-time images to support modules (JEP 220 <http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/220>). The last major component, the module system itself (JSR 376 <http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jigsaw/spec/> and JEP 261 <http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/261>), was integrated into JDK 9 earlier this week and is now available for testing in early-access build 111 - here. <http://jdk9.java.net/download> More information on Mark Reinhold's blog [1] Rgds, Rory Project Jigsaw <http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jigsaw/> is an enormous effort, encompassing six JEPs <http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jigsaw/#jeps> implemented by dozens of engineers over many years.

Early-access build b95 of JDK 9 is available for download
Hi Nick, Early-access builds of JDK 9 with Project Verona [0] in b95 are available for download here <https://jdk9.java.net/download>. The goal of this Project is to implement the new JDK version string as described in JEP-223 <http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/223> [1]. The new version-string scheme is designed to easily distinguish major, minor, and security-update releases. For more information please see Iris Clark's email [2] , also see Dalibor Topic's blog on this topic [3]. Please send usage questions, feedback and experience reports to the verona-dev <http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/verona-dev> mailing list.

Early Access b93 is available for JDK 9 on java.net
Hi Nick, Since my last message about JDK 9 build b88, a number of new JEPs have been integrated into JDK 9 b93 available here <https://jdk9.java.net/download/>. I'd like to point you to a few that are now available for testing in this JDK 9 Early Access build: JEP 254: Compact Strings (http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/254) This JEP adopts a more space-efficient internal representation for strings. We propose to change the internal representation of the String class from a UTF-16 char array to a byte array plus an encoding-flag field. The new String class will store characters encoded either as ISO-8859-1/Latin-1 (one byte per character), or as UTF-16 (two bytes per character), based upon the contents of the string. The encoding flag will indicate which encoding is used. JEP 165: Compiler Control (http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/165) This JEP proposes an improved way to control the JVM compilers. It enables runtime manageable, method dependent compiler flags. (Immutable for the duration of a compilation.) Method-context dependent control of the compilation process is a powerful tool for writing small contained JVM compiler tests that can be run without restarting the entire JVM. It is also very useful for creating workarounds for bugs in the JVM compilers. JEP 243: Java-Level JVM Compiler Interface (http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/243) This JEP instruments the data flows within the JVM which are used by the JIT compiler to allow Java code to observe, query, and affect the JVM's compilation process and its associated metadata. JEP 268: XML Catalog API (http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/268) This JEP develops a standard XML Catalog API that supports the OASIS XML Catalogs standard, v1.1. The API will define catalog and catalog-resolver abstractions which can be used with the JAXP processors that accept resolvers. Existing libraries or applications that use the internal API will need to migrate to the new API in order to take advantage of the new features.

Early Access build for JDK 9 with Project Jigsaw b86
<https://jdk9.java.net/jigsaw/> is available on java.net.
Changes for JDK 9 with Project Jigsaw b86 : -
* New options for the jdeps tool: -genmoduleinfo to generate draft
module-info.java files, and -ct to do a compile-time analysis of
references (i.e., follow all references leaving all classes in each
referenced JAR file) rather than the default run-time analysis
(which only follows references leaving referenced classes).
* jlink no longer does service binding by default.
* Class::getPackage fixed to return null for array types, primitives,
and void (bug reported by Chris Newland).
* Improved messages in IllegalAccessExceptions thrown by core reflection.
* java -verbose now works with -Xpatch .
* The special token ALL-SYSTEM can be used with the -addmods option to
add all system modules.
* New methods Module::{addUses,canUse}, which are dynamic equivalents
of service-use clauses in module declarations.

Early Access build 83 for JDK 9 and JDK 9 with Project Jigsaw are available for download.
Hi Nick, JDK 9 with Project Jigsaw Early Access build b83 is available for download at jdk9.java.net/jigsaw <http://jdk9.java.net/jigsaw>. Notable changes: * The -Xoverride option has been extended and renamed to -Xpatch, and the -XaddReads option has been restored [1] (changesets 04dd0430530e, 095fc622bf01). * ClassLoader::getPackage now works as it did previously, walking the class-loader hierarchy in order to find Package objects, which enables NetBeans to start up [2] (5805781b9370). * Class::getResource will now return a URL to a resource in a module, when invoked from code within that module (0fbe4c72638a). * The big module-summary table has been improved, and will now be posted with each build [3] (e922b207c170).

Project Jigsaw: Early-Access Builds available on jdk9.java.net/jigsaw
Hi Nick, Early-access builds of JDK 9 with Project Jigsaw are available for download at jdk9.java.net/jigsaw <http://jdk9.java.net/jigsaw>. The EA builds contain the latest prototype implementation of JSR 376 <http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jigsaw/spec>, the Java Platform Module System, as well as that of the JDK-specific APIs and tools described in JEP 261 <http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/261>. If you'd like to try out the EA builds, by far the most helpful things you can do are: * Try to run existing applications, without change, on these builds to see whether the module system, or the modularization of the platform, breaks your code or identifies code that depends upon JDK-internal APIs or other unspecified aspects of the platform. * Experiment with the module system itself, perhaps by following the quick start guide <http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jigsaw/quick-start>, and start thinking about how to migrate existing libraries and application components to modules. We hope to publish some specific migration tips shortly. Please send usage questions and experience reports to the jigsaw-dev <http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/jigsaw-dev> list. Specific suggestions about the design of the module system should be sent to the JSR 376 Expert Group's comments list <mailto:jpms-spec-comme...@openjdk.java.net>.

A new API is proposed http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/security-dev/2015-August/012636.htmlfor this very purpose in OpenJDK. Feedback on this API should be provided on the security-dev http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/security-dev mailing list. *RFC JEP: NIST SP 800-90A SecureRandom implementations : *Feedback on this draft http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/security-dev/2015-August/012667.html JEP should be provided on the security-dev http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/security-dev mailing list. * * *Public API for internal Swing classes* According to the JEP 200: The Modular JDK http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/200 we expect that classes from internal packages (like sun.swing) will not be accessible. If you are using the internal Swing API and it is not possible to replace it by public API, please provide feedback on the swing-dev http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/swing-dev mailing list.

With respect to ongoing JDK 9 development, there are two new Candidate JEPs I'd like to draw your attention to. Firstly, Mark Reinhold has put forward JEP 260: Encapsulate Most Internal APIs to make most of the JDK's internal APIs inaccessible by default but leave a few critical, widely-used internal APIs accessible, until supported replacements exist for all or most of their functionality. You can find the JEP here: http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/260 - and an introductory e-mail and discussion thread on the OpenJDK jigsaw-dev mailing list, starting at http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jigsaw-dev/2015-August/004433.html . If you would like to provide additional feedback, please join the jigsaw-dev mailing list, and contribute to the discussion there. Secondly, Mandy Chung has put forward JEP 259: Stack-Walking API to define an efficient standard API for stack walking that allows easy filtering of, and lazy access to, the information in stack traces. You can find the JEP here: http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/259 . If you would like to provide feedback on JEP 259, please join the OpenJDK core-libs-dev mailing list and contribute to the discussion there.

Re: Analysis of apache-maven-3.2.3's dependency on JDK-Internal APIs
Hi, Can I point you to the following paragraphs below. For anything where your migration path is unclear, I would appreciate comments on the JDK-internal API usage patterns in the attached jdeps report, in particular comments elaborating on the rationale for them either to me or on this list. Finding suitable replacements for unsupported interfaces is not always straightforward, which is why I am reaching out to you early in the JDK 9 development cycle so you can give feedback about new APIs that may be needed to facilitate this exercise. Please feel free to send me your comments, explanations etc on why you are using JDK-internal APIs ? Rgds,Rory P.S. I haven't gotten round to running the tool on log4j yet.

Rgds,Rory   JDK Internal API Usage Report for apache-maven-3.2.3 The OpenJDK Quality Outreach campaign has run a compatibility report to identify usage of JDK-internal APIs. Usage of these JDK-internal APIs could pose compatibility issues, as the Java team explained in 1996 http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/faq-sun-packages-142232.html. We have created this report to help you identify which JDK-internal APIs your project uses, what to use instead, and where those changes should go. Making these changes will improve your compatibility, and in some cases give better performance. Migrating away from the JDK-internal APIs now will give your team adequate time for testing before the release of JDK 9. If you are unable to migrate away from an internal API, please provide us with an explanation below to help us understand it better. As a reminder, supported APIs are determined by the OpenJDK's Java Community Process and not by Oracle. This report was generated by jdeps http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/unix/jdeps.html through static analysis of artifacts: it does not identify any usage of those APIs through reflection or dynamic bytecode. You may also run jdeps on your own https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/JDK8/Java+Dependency+Analysis+Tool if you would prefer. Summary of the analysis of the jar files within apache-maven-3.2.3:   * Numer of jar files depending on JDK-internal APIs: 1   * Internal APIs that have known replacements: 0   * Internal APIs that your team should migrate away: 1     APIs that have known replacements     https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/JDK8/Java+Dependency+Analysis+Tool: ID Replace Usage of With Inside     JDK-internal APIs without supported replacements: ID Internal APIs (do not use) Used by 1 sun.misc.Unsafe   * lib/guava-14.0.1.jar Explanation...     Identify External Replacements You should use a separate third-party library that performs this functionality.

Testing Log4J against JDK 8 EA builds
Hi, I am from the OpenJDK Quality Group at Oracle. I am working with Open Source projects that are testing JDK 8 Early Access builds (either those published by Oracle https://jdk8.java.net/download.html, or their own) and I would like to encourage more of it to happen. I am looking for a contact person who is interested in working with me , sharing your test experiences and any issues uncovered by testing Log4J with JDK 8 EA builds. I expect this will be of benefit to both communities. We are now very late in the release cycle of JDK 8 , issues found late may be postponed to an Update Release.

Re: Testing Log4J against JDK 8 EA builds
Hi Nick, Thanks for the reply, glad to hear things are going well. If you are at FOSDEM this year, please let me know. Rgds,Rory On 24/01/2014 17:32, Nick Williams wrote: Rory, We have been actively testing Log4j with JDK 8 since about March 2013. The only problem we found so far was the removal of sun.reflect.Reflection#getCallerClass(int), which spurred months of discussions, disagreements, and proposed fixes. Ultimately, the change was reverted and has been postponed until JDK 9 to give the community time to come up with a public API to replace it. If you have any other questions, let me know.
