Re: Finer grained tracking of progress on EE 10
by Brian Stansberry
Hi Scott,
Sorry for the delay; I've been unexpectedly away for 2 weeks.
Right now WF Preview in main is moving to using EE 10 APIs and impls. It's
absolutely fine to make dependency updates in WFP to switch dependencies
from EE 9.1. There'd probably need to be some discussion, as we're using a
fork of Mojarra, but in general it's fine to move to EE 10 deps as they
become available.
Happy to chat here or in zulip about the mechanics of making dependency
changes in WFP. Zulip is probably better.
Before I left we were talking about moving standard WildFly in main off of
javax.* namespace fairly soon so we could get rid of the large delta in
main between std WF and WF Preview. That large delta worked ok for EE 9.1
dev but has become more of a hassle with EE 10 dev. We don't have all the
needed jakarta.* components yet though, so this shift would mean we start
doing transformation when building std WF as well. So this would not get
rid of the transformation aspect.
Chatting with Darran just now we were tentatively looking at making that
switch in std WF next week. That's tentative though, as it hasn't been
socialized at all beyond this post, plus I'm just catching up from being
away and don't have an understanding of what's happened those two weeks and
what needs to be done before we can make the switch.

New JDK 19 EA builds and JCE Survey!
by David Delabassee
Greetings!
The proposed schedule for JDK 19 is now known [1] with ‘Rampdown Phase
One’ set for June 9th and ‘General Availability’ set for September 20th.
The next several weeks will be interesting to watch as the scope of JDK
19 is revealed.
You also play an important roll during these phases, which is your
opportunity to share feedback . When developers such as yourself tell us
of issues faced in the latest OpenJDK early-access (EA) builds, we then
have a chance to fix them before that feature release reaches general
availability (GA).
We also enjoy when people tell us that all their tests are green! It
gives us confidence ;-) So regardless of the tests color (red or green),
please do not hesitate to send me a short mail as both types of feedback
are useful.
[1] https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk-dev/2022-April/006481.html
## Heads-Up: Java Cryptographic Extension Survey
The Java Cryptographic Extension (JCE) has been in Java SE for a long
time and has made incremental changes over the years. The OpenJDK
Security Team is conducting a survey [2] to know more about how projects
are using JCE and what changes, features, and API enhancements would be
useful going forward.
The survey is closing on April 29 so if you have written or maintain
code that uses the JCE API, please make sure to fill this short survey
[2] as soon as possible.
[2] https://www.questionpro.com/t/AUzP7ZrFWv
## Heads-Up: New macOS Rendering Pipeline on macOS
JEP 382 [3] introduced in JDK 17 support for the new macOS Metal
graphics pipeline for Swing and Java2D. JDK 19 starting build 18 is
switching the default to be the new macOS Metal rendering pipeline
instead of the old Apple OpenGL API. For more details please see
JDK-8284378 [4].
Java applications running on macOS (10.14 or later) will not need to
take any action, as they will automatically benefit from faster graphics
with lower power consumption, and the use of a more modern stable
graphics API which will be able to work better on current and future
Apple systems.

WildFly 26.1 is Released!
by Brian Stansberry
I'm pleased to announce that WildFly and WildFly Preview 26.1.0.Final are
now available at https://www.wildfly.org/downloads/.
Thank you all for your great work on this. Most of us have been focused
this year on work related to EE 10 and WildFly 27. But I'm pleased to say
that due to a lot of hard work from our awesome contributors, 26.1 still
has a lot of new things. Learn more about that in my release announcement
at https://www.wildfly.org/news/2022/04/14/WildFly261-Final-Released/
This will be the last WildFly feature release that supports Java SE 8. It
will also be the last standard WildFly feature release that supports
Jakarta EE 8 and MicroProfile 4.1, and will be the last WildFly Preview
feature release that supports Jakarta EE 9.1. WildFly 27 will support SE 11
and above and Jakarta EE 10. We do however plan to do a 26.1.1 bug fix
release later this spring, as well as 26.1.2 in July or August.
Special thanks Darran Lofthouse who stepped up in a major way to coordinate
the 26.1.0.Final release while I was away for a couple weeks.
Best regards,
Brian Stansberry
