Java 11 or above?
I wonder if someone is porting java 11 or above to OpenVMS.

Latest on VMS is 8 (x86-64 and Itanium, Alpha is stuck on 5).
Given the importance of Java then it seems obvious that VSI will need to provide new versions.
If I were to guess then I would guess that they will skip 11 and do 17.

Re: Java 11 or above?
It will be nice to see 17 on VMS.
Note though that updating from 8 to newer (11/17/21) may cause some small update problems. 11 removed a few things from Java SE including JAX-WS and JAXB.
Not a big problem - both JAX-WS and JAXB can be downloaded and used for free, but still work to be done.
Not anything VSI can do anything about either as it is a change on all platforms, but still work to be done.

Re: Java 11 or above?
Any prediction for when Java 17 will be out?
Will it be for both Itanium and x86-64 or only for x86-64?
(I somewhat suspect the latter - I seems to recall something about newer Java versions requiring newer C++ version to build)

Only for x86, since we don't have new C++ on Itanium. On x86 we don't have C++ support for TLS (thread local storage) yet, but this can be worked around.
I hope to finish the porting by the end of autumn.

Re: Java 11 or above?
I think by then I'll be up for running another game of Minecraft. I'll be sure to share feedback.
Is the update for Java 8 still in the pipeline as well, or is that being skipped for Java 11?

Re: Java 11 or above?
I'm writing a readme file for Java V8.0-412A right now. So yes, we'll ship the update in mid-August.pocketprobe wrote: ↑Mon Jul 22, 2024 11:13 amIs the update for Java 8 still in the pipeline as well, or is that being skipped for Java 11?
