Hi Sanne, *JDK 8u152 **Early Access b01 <https://jdk8.java.net/download.html> *is available on java.net *JDK 9 Early Access* b159 <https://jdk9.java.net/download/> is available on java.net, summary of changes are listed here <http://download.java.net/java/jdk9/changes/jdk-9+159.html>;. There have been a number of fixes to bugs reported by Open Source projects since the last availability email : * b159 - JDK-8175261 : Per-protocol cache setting not working for JAR URLConnection * b158 - JDK-8173028 : Incorrect processing of supplementary-plane characters in text fields * b158 - JDK-8172967 : [macosx] Exception while working with layout for text containing unmappable character * b158 - JDK-8173804 : javadoc throws UnsupportedOperationException: should not happen * b157 - JDK-8174073 : NPE caused by @link reference to class * b156 - JDK-8172726 : ForkJoin common pool retains a reference to the thread context class loader The following changeset is included in jdk-9+158: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/dev/jdk/rev/8b0d55e02f54 If you have a user-defined Policy implementation that grants FilePermission on ${user.dir}/-, reading a file in the current directory using its base name will fail. Still the same solution: Ensure that the path used in permission granting has the same style as the one how you access the file. Setting -Djdk.security.filePermCompat=true will take you back to the jdk-9+140 behavior. Setting -Djdk.io.permissionsUseCanonicalPath=true will take you back to the jdk8 behavior.
