Hello Rory,

I ran the JDK 18 EA (build 18-ea+20-1248) against our Ant testsuite on 
Linux and no issues were encountered:

Hi Stefan/Jaikiran,
*Thank you.*

I'm retiring at the end of November 2021, it's time to spend more time 
with the family.


We started the Quality Outreach back in October 2014.  We now have 
170+ projects participating.
Thank you for taking the time to provide Testing feedback , excellent 
bugs and support throughout

the last seven years.

It's been a pleasure working with you. I am delighted to say that the 
program will continue
with the support of the Java DevRel Team, with David Delabassee as 
your contact. David has
been assisting with on-boarding new projects for the last couple of 
years.


All the best, Rory
