Pax Web 8 performance (different JDKs)

[Grzegorz Grzybek]

Good evening!

I've just pushed last commit before 8.0.0.GA. This commit fixed the compilation and test problems under JDK17.

Current state is:

 - all the tasks I've planned for 8.0.0.GA are finished

 - all the tests (unit, pax-exam-container-native, pax-exam-container-karaf) work on JDK 8, JDK 11 and JDK 17

I expected that everything would work few percent slower on JDK 11 than on JDK 8 (I observed this performance downgrade on several occasions). What I didn't expect is that generally everything works faster on JDK 17 than on JDK 8!

Here's the table:

I hope to write more about "what is Pax Web 8" soon and that the week of Sep 13-17 will be the week of the release.

kind regards
