    • History recall • OpenJDK • Java release model • Eclipse Adoptium & others • Migration
  4. This is a very very very long gag @hendrikEbbers The

    wild 90th • "Oak" (Object Application Kernel) / "The Green Project" was developed in 1992 • This project evolved to Java in 1995 • The Duke was already the 
 mascot for the 
 Green Project
  5. This is a very very very long gag @hendrikEbbers The

    fi rst Java years • Java versions 1 till 6 were released at SUN • Java 1 was released 1996 • Java 6 was released 2006 • In 1998 the JCP (Java Community 
 Process) was formed
  6. This is a very very very long gag @hendrikEbbers The

    takeover • In 2009 SUN was bought by Oracle • The Java community was really 
 afraid about this move • Mostly no-one associated Oracle with 
 open source
  7. This is a very very very long gag @hendrikEbbers Java

    getting old? • Big plans at SUN • Realisation at Oracle splitter in 2 
 releases • JDK 7 (Security) • JDK 8 (Lambdas & Streams)
  8. This is a very very very long gag @hendrikEbbers Not

    your daddies Java • Functional programming FTW • Lambdas & Streams everywhere • Modularization of the JDK • Modularization of libs & apps • Keep up with the languages Dad Duke 2005
  9. This is a very very very long gag @hendrikEbbers The

    last years • Oracle managed to provide 
 major updates of Java • Continued to evolve Java by the JCP • Not everything is perfect but 
 much better than it was expected
  10. This is a very very very long gag @hendrikEbbers OpenJDK

    • Java has been open sourced 
 in 2006 • SUN derived OpenJDK from 
 SunJDK as a vendor JDK • Oracle took over the work at

  51. This is a very very very long gag @hendrikEbbers Why

    not 'Eclipse AdoptOpenJDK' ? • The answer is quite simple: 
 
 
 
 
 • The Eclipse Foundation trademarks all names and 'AdoptOpenJDK' is just not trademark able OpenJDK Java ™ ™
  52. The Eclipse Temurin Java runtime builds by Adoptium can not

    be named 'AdoptOpenJDK' since OpenJDK is owned by Oracle ™ ™ ® ™ ™ ®
  53. This is a very very very long gag @hendrikEbbers Just

    call the distro 'Adoptium' ... • NO! Adoptium is much more than 'just the binaries': AQAVIT is the quality and runtime branding evaluation project for Java SE runtimes and associated technology. Any Java runtime Open source AQAVIT test & benchmark suite Enterprise ready runtime https://bit.ly/3nnLVi7 More Info:
  54. This is a very very very long gag @hendrikEbbers Just

    Distributionen Azul Zulu Oracle JDK Amazon Coretto AdoptOpenJDK Bellsoft Liberica Red Hat Upstream Adoptium Temurin
  60. This is a very very very long gag @hendrikEbbers Other

    distributions • It is really hard to choose a distribution... • Adoptium tries to help the user by providing a marketplace • The Adoptium marketplace will only contain distributions that are TCK and AQAvit approved
  61. This is a very very very long gag @hendrikEbbers Migrating

    to JDK 17 • Oracle provides a migration guide: • Signi fi cant Changes in the JDK • Preparing For Migration • Migrating From JDK 8 to Later JDK Releases https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/migrate/index.html https://bit.ly/3k224YD
  62. This is a very very very long gag @hendrikEbbers Migrating

    to JDK 17 • Download JDK 17 • Run your program before recompiling • Update 3rd-party libraries • Compile your application if needed • Run jdeps on your code
  63. This is a very very very long gag @hendrikEbbers The

    (evil) private APIs • Java 17 introduced JEP 403: Strongly Encapsulate JDK Internals • It will no longer be possible to relax the strong encapsulation of internal elements via a single command-line option, as was possible in JDK 9 through JDK 16.
  64. This is a very very very long gag @hendrikEbbers The

    (evil) private APIs • JDK 9 till JDK 15 defaults to --illegal-access=warn • JDK 16 defaults to --illegal-access=deny • JDK 17 disables permit, warn & debug values for illegal- access option • It is still possible to use --add-opens or the Add-Opens manifest attribute
  65. This is a very very very long gag @hendrikEbbers Migrating

    to JDK 17 • Next to the new timeline the new release model added some additional points • Deprecated code was removed from Java • @Deprecated has additional information
  66. This is a very very very long gag @hendrikEbbers Migrating

    to JDK 17 A value of true indicates intent to remove the annotated program element in a future version. @Deprecated(forRemoval = true)
  67. This is a very very very long gag @hendrikEbbers Migrating

    to JDK 17 • Several APIs were already removed between Java 8 and Java 11: • CORBA • JAXB • Java Enterprise Annotations
  68. This is a very very very long gag @hendrikEbbers Check

    removed APIs • The Java Version Almanac contains all information that you need • Open source service by Mark Hoffmann • Support any 2 releases https://javaalmanac.io/jdk/17/apidiff/11/ https://bit.ly/3z2Bqmv
  69. This is a very very very long gag @hendrikEbbers Missing

    tools • You might miss some tools • WebStart and Applet support is gone • Check open source solution at openwebstart.com
  70. This is a very very very long gag @hendrikEbbers Check

    for usage of private API • We can't say that often enough • Check your code for any usage • Many online resources for individual issues ... or consultancy
  71. This is a very very very long gag @hendrikEbbers Migrating

    to a different Vendor • Maybe you want to migrate to a different OpenJDK based distribution • Since all are based on OpenJDK and mostly all are TCK checked a switch should be super easy... you do Have a support subscription for Java versions in production ? As you can imagine there are exceptions...
  72. This is a very very very long gag @hendrikEbbers Migrating

    to a different Vendor • There are still some minor differences distributions • As an example Oracle JDK uses a different font in Swing than the OpenJDK does • Adoptium provides an migration guide:
