What's new in the Eclipse OpenJ9 project

Eclipse OpenJ9 version 0.37.0 released

April 2023

We're pleased to announce the availability of Eclipse OpenJ9™ v0.37.0.

This release works with OpenJDK version 19. OpenJDK 19 is out of support at the time of the 0.37.0 release. Builds of 0.37.0 should not be used in production and might contain known security vulnerabilities as of 18 April 2023. For more information about supported platforms and OpenJDK versions, see Supported environments.

Other updates in this release include the following:

• Linux® builds for platforms Linux x86 64-bit, Linux on POWER® LE 64-bit, and Linux on IBM Z® 64-bit now use gcc 11.2 instead of gcc 10.3. Linux AArch64 64-bit continues to use the gcc 10.3 compiler.
• The OpenJ9 ThreadMXBean interface extends the com.sun.management.ThreadMXBean interface instead of the java.lang.management.ThreadMXBean interface.
• OpenJ9 now supports the use of an extra attribute, tokenlabel, in the SunPKCS11 configuration file on z/OS® and Linux on IBM Z to assign a label to a PKCS#11 token. The tokenlabel attribute can be used instead of the slot or slotListIndex attributes.

To read more about these and other changes, see the OpenJ9 user documentation.
