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

Hello Rory,

I ran JDK 17 EA (build 17-ea+28-2534) against our Ant testsuite on a 
linux setup and apart from the one failure[1] that is a result on the 
intentional change in javadoc tool[2], rest all tests passed fine. We 
(the Ant project) will sort out the javadoc issue in the coming weeks.

I had a look at this one in more detail. The failure is in one of our 
javadoc related tests[1]. After looking into the details, this 
appeared to be a genuine regression. So I raised this in the 
javadoc-dev mailing list[2]. In that discussion it has been 
acknowledged as an intentional change in this version of the JDK and 
not a bug. It did however expose another bug for which a new JBS issue 
has been created[3]


The Ant project needs to do certain changes to take into account both 
the security manager warnings and this change in behaviour of javadoc 
tool. I'll create a separate Ant dev mailing list thread for that 
tomorrow.

Hello Rory,

This JDK 17 EA build 26, has caused at least one regression in our 
testsuite. It relates to the new WARNING message that gets printed out 
to System.err, when something at runtime sets the security manager. 
Given the nature of the test that's failing, fixing it is trivial for 
us, so I'll probably do that tomorrow. However, I would have liked a 
bit more easy debuggability around what piece of code is setting the 
security manager. So I've raised this as a question in security-dev 
mailing list of JDK[1].


Additionally, there's one other test that failed with this build. I 
haven't yet found the time to look into that one in a bit more detail. 
I plan to do that tomorrow and send an update if it turns out to be an 
issue in JDK.

 * Changes in recent builds that maybe of interest:
 o Build 23
 + JDK-8243287: Removal of Unsafe::defineAnonymousClass.
 o Build 22
 + *JDK-8266369: New implementation of
   java.nio.channels.Selector on Microsoft Windows. *
 o Build 21
 + *JDK-8196415: JARs signed with SHA-1 algorithms are
   restricted by default.*
 + *JDK-8266858: macOS on ARM early access available.*
 # The ARM port should behave similarly to the Intel port.
   There are no known feature differences.
 # When reporting issues on macOS please specify if using
   ARM or x64.

*We need your help in testing new Selector implementation on Windows 
[1]:*


 * The implementation of the Selector API on Windows has been replaced
   in JDK 17 b22 with a new more scalable implementation [2].
 * The old select based Selector implementation has been the default
   since Java 1.4 (2002) so replacing it is a significant change.
 * It would be really helpful to get more testing of the new
   implementation before the fork for Rampdown Phase One on June 10th.

*Hi Stefan/Jaikiran, *

*OpenJDK 17 Early Access build 18is now available at

   <https://jdk.java.net/17/release-notes>


**G1 pauses may be extremely long with EA build JDK-17+18*

*During performance testing we noticed that due to a recent change 
(JDK-8262068) GC pauses after a G1 full GC may be extremely slow. The 
problem has been fixed with JDK-8264987 and that has already been 
integrated. This change will be available with the following EA build  
JDK-17+19.  For more technical info please see [1]



*JEP 382 [2]**  - Starting with build 19, **JDK 17 for macOS is 
*temporarily* switched from using OpenGL**to using Apple's Metal 
API**for Java 2D rendering.*


Heads up to anyone who is testing JDK 17 for running apps on macOS. 
Starting with build 19, JDK 17 for macOS is *temporarily* switched from 
using OpenGL to using Apple's Metal API for Java 2D rendering.


If you are running any kind of 2D / Swing/ AWT UI application on macOS, 
and see any rendering related problems
starting with JDK 17 b19, please do report them to us along with a test 
case and screen shots.


You may also set "-Dsun.java2d.opengl=true" to re-enable OpenGL - which  
implicitly disables Metal - to confirm that it is a Metal related 
rendering glltch.

Thanks for the feedback Jaikiran!

Hello Rory,

I ran the Ant testsuite on a Linux setup against this JDK 16 build 
16-ea+32-2190. No issues were noticed. The regression that was 
observed in the previous JDK 16 EA and was reported in 
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8258246, is no longer present 
in this JDK 16 build.


As for the JDK 17 build 17-ea+5-266, the above reported regression 
continues to exist in that build (I guess because the JDK16 repo 
changes haven't yet been merged to JDK master repo or perhaps this JDK 
17 build is older). No other issues observed in this version.

[Rory O'Donnell]

Thanks Jaikiran, let us know the bug id if/when you log a bug.

Hello Rory,

There appears to be an regression in this build of JDK 16. One of our 
test classes[1] is consistently running into an exception of the form 
listed at the end of this mail. I have verified that this works fine 
with the JDK 15 and this isn't some issue with our CI infrastructure.


I am running more detailed tests to try and narrow this down to 
something that I can then report as a bug (if at all it is one). I'll 
do that as soon as I get the necessary details (unfortunately, I can't 
reproduce this locally).


The exception is of the form:

   The method has always been specified to link the class but

JEP 353: Reimplement the Legacy Socket API" has been integrated into
jdk-13+24. It would be very useful if applications or libraries using
java.net.Socket or java.net.ServerSocket APIs could test with this
build and report any issues found. The JEP provides information on the
system property that can be used to switch back to the old
implementation and that may be useful to check for behavior
differences between the old and new implementation. It would be very
useful to get feedback via the OpenJDK net-dev mailing list, bugs via
the usual channel.

JDK 13 enters Rampdown Phase One

[Rory O'Donnell]

Hi Stefan/Jaikiran,

*JDK 13 Early Access build **25 is now available **at : - jdk.java.net/13/*

 * Per the JDK 13 schedule [1], we are now in Rampdown Phase One.
 o For more details , see Mark Reinhold's email to jdk-dev mailing
   list [2]
 o The overall feature set is frozen, no further JEPs will be
   targeted to this release.
 * Changes in this build 25 [4]

*Request for feedback on JEP 353 integrated in b24
*

JEP 353: Reimplement the Legacy Socket API" has been integrated into 
jdk-13+24. It would be very useful if applications or libraries using 
java.net.Socket or java.net.ServerSocket APIs could test with this build 
and report any issues found. The JEP provides information on the system 
property that can be used to switch back to the old implementation and 
that may be useful to check for behavior differences between the old and 
new implementation. It would be very useful to get feedback via the 
OpenJDK net-dev mailing list, bugs via the usual channel.

Hi Rory,

I forgot to reply to this.

Our tests against JDK 12 GA and JDK 13 EA (build 15), on Linux system,
haven't shown any regressions. Tests against these versions [1][2] have
passed without any new failures (the ones you see in those jobs are
known failures and aren't related to the JDK version).

Hello Rory,

Our testsuite, of the master branch of Ant, has come up clean for both
the JDK 12 build 32[1] and JDK 13 build EA 8[2]. These initial test runs
are only against Linux setup and one of these days I'll run these tests
against Windows as well. In the next few days, I'll run some of our
other Ant projects with these JDK builds (especially JDK 12) to make
sure they are fine too.

I gave the JDK 12 EA version a try:

java -version
openjdk version "12-ea" 2019-03-19
OpenJDK Runtime Environment 19.3 (build 12-ea+10)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 19.3 (build 12-ea+10, mixed mode)

and can confirm that this issue is indeed fixed in that version.

Hi Rory,

Except for one issue[1] in this release candidate build, so far the
tests against this version have gone fine. A fix/patch has already been

Hi all

no surprises with Java10 in Ant land. Of course some of our tests that
use rmic -iiop/-idl have been broken on Java11 because of JEP320.

Starting with Ant 1.10.3 and 1.9.11 Ant is going to fail with a more
useful error message and tests have been adapted.
