Early Access builds for JDK 8u60 b24 and JDK 9 b72 are available on java.net

Rory O'Donnell

Hi All,

Early Access build for JDK 8u60 b24 is available on java.net, summary of changes are listed here.
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 is available on java.net, summary of  changes are listed here .
Note: b72 includes 8081708  - Change default GC for server configurations to G1

As described in JEP 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 regarding this change went out on the hotspot-dev mailing list, where
such input should be provided.


Rgds,Rory
