Just a reminder that this happens in just over one hour from now.

We will pick a build just after the deadline and run a series of tests on it (tiers 1-3) before adding the tag jdk12+0. Once that is done the JDK 11 stabilization repo will be created. Running the tests will take a few hours so have patience and please do not push any changes intended for JDK 12 until the tag has been pushed. I will keep you updated of our progress.

Thanks, /Jesper

JDK 11 enters Rampdown Phase One next week, on Thursday, 28 June. Changes intended for JDK 11 should be in the main-line repository (http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk) or the client repository (jdk/client), by 15:00 UTC on that day [1]. At that time we’ll fork jdk/jdk to the JDK 11 stabilization repository, jdk/jdk11, and promote next week’s build (jdk-11+20) and all remaining JDK 11 builds from there. We'll semi-automatically merge changes pushed to jdk/jdk11 into the main-line jdk/jdk repository, as we did for the transitions from 9 to 10 and 10 to 11. This means that: - If you make a change in JDK 11 then you needn't do any extra work to get it into the main line, though if a merge conflict arises then you might be asked to help resolve it. - If you need to make a change in both JDK 11 and the main line then just push it to JDK 11, and wait for the automatic merge to complete. Changes pushed into the jdk/jdk or jdk/client repositories after 15:00 UTC next Thursday will be destined for JDK 12 unless they're back-ported. The jdk/submit repo will continue to be for main-line (jdk/jdk) work. We’ll set up a jdk/submit11 repo for jdk/jdk11 work. The Rampdown Phase One process will be similar to that of JDK 10, as proposed in JEP 3 [2]. - Mark
