| # Eclipse OpenJ9 version 0.10.0 release notes | ||
|
|
||
| These release notes support the [Eclipse OpenJ9 0.10.0 release plan](https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.openj9/releases/0.10.0/plan). | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| ## Binaries and supported environments | ||
|
|
||
| This release adds compatibility with OpenJDK v11. Builds of OpenJDK 11 with OpenJ9 will be available from the AdoptOpenJDK community at the following link: | ||
|
|
||
| - [OpenJDK version 11](https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html?variant=openjdk11&jvmVariant=openj9) | ||
|
|
||
| Builds are tested against the OpenJ9 functional verification (FV) test suite, the OpenJDK test suites, and additional tests at AdoptOpenJDK. Builds are compatible with OpenJDK 11. Compliance with the specification is tracked at the AdoptOpenJDK website where compliant builds are marked with a blue check mark. | ||
|
|
||
| OpenJDK 11 with Eclipse OpenJ9 is a long term support (LTS) release and supersedes OpenJDK 10 with Eclipse OpenJ9. | ||
|
|
||
| Although it is possible to build an OpenJDK v8 with the OpenJ9 0.10.0 release level, testing at the project is not complete and therefore support is not available. | ||
|
|
||
| To learn more about support for OpenJ9 releases, including OpenJDK levels and platform support, see [Supported environments](https://eclipse.org/openj9/docs/openj9_support/index.html). | ||
