Hi all, As part of evaluating how far along various popular open source projects are regarding testing with upcoming JDK releases, developers are regularly asked to consider participating in the OpenJDK Quality Outreach [1][2] effort that Rory (CC:ed, as the OpenJDK Quality Group Lead) leads.
Through that effort, more community testing of JDK Early Access (EA) builds are being encouraged, and to assist those projects that participate in filing, tracking, and (hopefully) resolving issues they find along the way. Currently, about 100 FOSS projects participate in the effort. So it would be great if we'd take a chance to try out our projects that we develop with NetBeans with JDK 11, JDK 12, or JDK 13, as well as NetBeans itself, and if we run into any JDK-related showstopper issues, file them against the JDK. Last but not least, you're invited to join the Quality Outreach effort with your projects. Rory can fill you in on the details of how it all works. Thanks, comments welcome, and also feel free to reach out to Rory directly.
