Issues that have been reported upstream to the OpenJ9 group
On 17th Apr 2018 Oracle released the latest quarterly update. This means the AdoptOpenJDK can create builds at the same code level and make them available on the main download page.
This issue is to create openjdk8-openj9 builds. The production level releases should pick up the next release of eclipse/openj9, but some early testing of the new openjdk code level with the current eclipse/openj9 release may help detect any issues sooner rather than later.
We need to decide whether to base the release on the CPU (jdk8u171) or PSU (jdk8u172) code level (Oracle recommends people pick up the CPU code as this has had more thorough testing) - see http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/cpu-psu-explained-2331472.html
Once the production level build have been created they should be tested (including the JCK), and assuming the testing is successful, promoted to the openjdk 'releases' page and marked as 'JCK Compliant'.
