Hi All, Early Access build for JDK 8u66 b02 <http://jdk8.java.net/download.html> is available on java.net, summary of changes are listed here. <http://download.java.net/jdk8u66/changes/jdk8u66-b02.html?q=download/jdk8u6…> Early Access build for JDK 9 b78 <https://jdk9.java.net/download/> is available on java.net, summary of changes are listed here <http://download.java.net/jdk9/changes/jdk9-b78.html?q=download/jdk9/changes…>. With respect to ongoing JDK 9 development, I'd like to draw your attention to the following requests to provide feedback on the relevant mailing lists. *OpenJDK JarSigner API* JDK 9 is more restricted on calling sun.* public methods but we know there are users calling sun.security.tools.jarsigner.Main to sign jar files. A new API is proposed <http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/security-dev/2015-August/012636.html>for 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. If you haven’t already subscribed to a list then please do so first, otherwise your message will be discarded as spam. Finally, videos of presentations from the JVM Language Summit have been published at : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/community/jlssessions-2015-26… .

Hi All, Early Access build for JDK 8u60 b26 <http://jdk8.java.net/download.html> is available on java.net, summary of changes are listed here. <http://download.java.net/jdk8u60/changes/jdk8u60-b26.html?q=download/jdk8u6…> As we enter the later phases of development for JDK 8u60, please log any show stoppers as soon as possible. Early Access build for JDK 9 b75 <https://jdk9.java.net/download/> is available on java.net, summary of changes are listed here <http://download.java.net/jdk9/changes/jdk9-b75.html?q=download/jdk9/changes…>. 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. Finally, we are looking for feedback via a survey on Java Style Guidelines Please see here for more details. http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/discuss/2015-August/003766.html Rgds, Rory -- Rgds,Rory O'Donnell Quality Engineering Manager Oracle EMEA , Dublin, Ireland
