Project Metropolis Early-Access Builds
These builds are intended for developers looking to test and provide feedback on using Graal, in form of native library (libjvmcicompiler.so), instead of C2 as HotSpot high optimizing JIT compiler.
Warning: This build is based on an incomplete version of JDK 15.

Notes
- Currently only linux-x64 is supported.
- libjvmcicompiler.so is used by default by HotSpot VM in these builds.
- Graal is an experimental feature in JDK. Use the
-XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions
flag with Graal and JVMCI flags. For example, to revert back to C2 compiler:java -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:-EnableJVMCI -version
- There are several known issues when libgraal is used. We are working on them.

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.
