Adopt OpenJDK Wiki updates, Testing Java 8 - assistance welcome!

Sun Jul 21 07:13:43 PDT 2013

Hi all,

I've updated the Adopt OpenJDK section in the OpenJDK Wiki to highlight the
initiatives we're currently working on.

Most importantly, we're currently focussing on two projects:

Testing OpenJDK/Java
8<https://java.net/projects/adoptopenjdk/pages/TestingJava8#Java_8_and_Open_Source>

We're reaching out ot OSS projects to get them to test early and
consistently.  This has been going for 1 week now and we already have 20
projects tested including: Glassfish, Guava, JUnit, Scala and Maven.

* We've raised 15 issues (5 now fixed) over this past week.
* Are there projects you'd like to see added? Please reply to this list!

Betterrev<https://java.net/projects/adoptopenjdk/pages/WhatToWorkOnForOpenJDK#Betterrev>

An attempt to streamline and automate the patch build, test and webrev
submission in OpenJDK. The goal here is minimum impact on OpenJDK, i.e. An
email for a patch will arrive on the correct OpeNJDK mailing list looking
something like:

"This is a patch submission via Betterrev

Patch: <Descriptive Name>
Author: <OpenJDK name>
OCA Signed?: Yes
Betterrev Link: <URL>
Webrev Link: <URL>
JIRA Link: <URL>
Built and all tests pass against: <Operating Systems> using <HEAD> in
<Mercurial forest name>"

* We're looking for early Beta testers, especially folks interested in the
patch submission process

Cheers,
Martijn
