Fwd: Please test jdk-11-ea+4

[Martijn Verburg]

I normally don't blindly forward emails from OpenJDK - but with the recent NIO thread I thought this was useful (as folks can look at the source).

Cheers,

jdk-11-ea+4 is the latest JDK 11 EA build [1]. It contains significant changes to SocketChannel and friends to separate the blocking and non-blocking code paths and also a re-work of asynchronous close. As discussed here, and summarized in a release note, the changes involve two subtle behavior changes, namely that configureBlocking may block if there is a I/O operation in progress, and performing a non-blocking I/O with the interrupt status set no longer closes the channel. For those invested in this area, now would be a good time to try out the latest build to see if you run into any issues.
