[EXTERNAL] Re: Windows-x86 (32-bit) build is broken. Time to retire it?

[Bruno Borges]

I think this conversation/thread is exactly what we were hoping to see with JEP 449.

And I believe it is starting to confirm that we are ready to remove the port, moving forward.

So yes, we do want to propose a new JEP that ultimately removes the port, potentially sometime between JDK 23-24.

This thinking was part of the logic behind JEP 449.


Are you, or someone else from Microsoft, planning to propose the removal of the port as a follow on from JEP 449 ?
