[wildfly-dev] Early Access builds for JDK 8u60 b24 and JDK 9 b72 are available on java.net

[Rory O'Donnell]

Hi Jason/Tomaz,

Early Access build for JDK 8u60 b24 <http://jdk8.java.net/download.html> 
is available on java.net, summary of changes are listed here. 
<http://www.java.net/download/jdk8u60/changes/jdk8u60-b24.html>
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 b72 <https://jdk9.java.net/download/> is 
available on java.net, summary of  changes are listed here 
<http://www.java.net/download/jdk9/changes/jdk9-b72.html>.
Note: b72 includes 8081708 
<http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8081607> - Change 
default GC for server configurations to G1

As described in JEP 248 <http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/248>, switching to 
a low-pause collector in JDK 9 such as G1 should provide a better
overall experience, for most users, than a throughput-oriented collector 
such as the Parallel GC, which is
currently the default.

A call for feedback and data points 
<http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-dev/2015-June/019221.html> 
regarding this change went out on the hotspot-dev 
<http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/hotspot-dev> mailing 
list, where
such input should be provided.


Rgds,Rory
