Notes

• These builds are not suitable for doing performance testing at this time. There are many significant changes going on that impact the performance and it will likely vary wildly from build to build as the implementation evolves.
• There is also ongoing work in the API/library implementations so that blocking operations can be used in the context of fibers. Locking operations with the java.util.concurrent APIs should be okay, as should most of the networking I/O APIs (see Networking+IO).
• The networking I/O implementation on Microsoft Windows is not yet scalable to thousands of connections at this time. In addition, Socket.connect methods may appear to "hang" when the connection cannot be established. The implementation on Microsoft Windows will be replaced in time to address these issues.

Disclaimers

• Early-access (EA) functionality might never make it into a general-availability (GA) release.

• EA functionality might be changed or removed at any time.

• The existence of EA builds does not imply that the functionality being tested will be present in any particular GA release.

• The platforms supported and the packaging options available for a GA build might be different than those available for EA builds.

• EA builds are not tested to the same level to which Oracle tests GA builds. EA builds are produced for the purpose of gathering feedback. Use for any other purpose is at your own risk.

• EA builds might be missing security-vulnerability fixes that are available in GA builds or in other OpenJDK projects.

• Oracle does not provide support for EA builds.
