found out today that my java apps (which are have evolved from java8 to java11) worked without screams on java17 too :dancer:

it was a good day

Which jvm are you using

for evaluation i used the one from here https://jdk.java.net/17/

eventually would like to see one from adopt openjdk though

Yeah, we started testing against that JDK yesterday. So far, "everything works" for our Clojure apps (we still have a couple of legacy apps stuck on JDK 8 ).

We are waiting for New Relic to release 7.3.0 of their agent to see if that works with Java 17 since their current agent has reflection warnings and we know that won't run.

fyi, it's not called adopt openjdk anymore

yeah noticed that rename too

and apparently the jvm's name is "Temurin" which i've already forgotten 4 times. just seems very non-memorable to me

all I can remember is that it starts with a T

but I keep thinking it's like Tamarin or Tamarind

i have to do sdk ls java and look for the one i don't recognize to remember it

I think there was a Tamarin VM for Javascript or something even

whats the over/under on the rename to something impossible to remember as a mechanism to drive people to the new oracle license

> Today, that choice became even wider with the release of Eclipse Temurin (that’s an anagram of Runtime, if you hadn’t noticed)

who pays "The AdoptOpenJDK Technical Steering Committee"

so its a play on words, an anagram of runtime. I would never have guessed

knowing that may actually help me remember it

Given Temurin's name origin, FWIW Cespile is an anagram of Eclipse.

(map #(apply str %) (repeatedly 20 #(shuffle (seq "runtime"))))
("emrtnui" "urentim" "treunmi" "mntriue" "minuetr" "unirtme" "euirmnt" "trmineu" "ireutmn" "itneurm" "eimrutn" "teunirm" "mtieunr" "tnuimre" "uemritn" "nmertui" "mntiuer" "rmeitnu" "tineumr" "etuirnm")

Now roll d20 to grab your name!

that sounds delicious

Some version of Android is probably named like that.

they could have just called it eclipse runtime

that would actually have made some sort of sense

I think actually have something named that in the eclipse ide

all the osgi stuff at the bottom

words... what do they even mean

I guess Eclipse are not the only offenders when it comes to “Confusing JDK names”
