Hi Julien,

Per the JDK 17 schedule , we are in Rampdown Phase One [1].

Please advise if you find any issues while testing the latest Early Access builds.
  • Schedule:
    • 2021/06/10       Rampdown Phase One
    • 2021/07/15        Rampdown Phase Two
    • 2021/08/05        Initial Release Candidate
    • 2021/08/19        Final Release Candidate
    • 2021/09/14        General Availability
The overall feature set is frozen. No further JEPs will be targeted to this release.

  • Important JEPs have been integrated – Attention Required!
  • JEP 411: Deprecate the Security Manager for Removal
    • Deprecate, for removal, most Security Manager related classes and methods.
    • Warning message at startup if the Security Manager is enabled on the command line.
    • Warning message at run time if a Java application or library installs a Security Manager dynamically.
    • Deprecation is in concert with the legacy Applet API (JEP 398).
  • JEP 407: Remove RMI Activation
    • Removal the Remote Method Invocation (RMI) Activation mechanism, while preserving the rest of RMI.
    • It was deprecated for removal by JEP 385 in Java SE 15.
  • JEP 403: Strongly Encapsulate JDK Internals
    • Strongly encapsulate all internal elements of the JDK, except for critical internal APIs such as sun.misc.Unsafe.
    • It will no longer be possible to relax the strong encapsulation of internal elements via a single command-line option.
