Hi Martin,
Thanks! Glad you could spot that *and* adapt promptly.

I've reworked Wicket's test to conform to the new rules and now the
build and tests pass successfully on both Linux x86_64 and aarch64!

Hi Martin,
I’m happy to announce that moving forward Oracle’s Java DevRel
Team will
manage the Quality Outreach Program. I would like to thank Rory
for all
the efforts he's put into this program and wish him all the joy and
happiness that retirement can bring! We have big shoes to fill but
we’re
excited to continue building off the amazing structure Rory has
put in
place.
The JDK 18 schedule is now known [1] with a feature freeze date
(Rampdown Phase One) less than 4 weeks away! This time, we have 2
important heads-ups, one related to JEP 411 (Deprecate the Security
Manager for Removal), and one related to JEP 416 (Reimplement Core
Reflection with Method Handles). We're asking your help to test and
confirm that your project works seamlessly now that those 2 JEPs are
integrated in the JDK 18 Early-Access builds.
[1] https://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk/18/
# JEP 411 - Deprecate the Security Manager for Removal
Starting JDK 18 b21 [2], the default value of the
'java.security.manager' system property is set to "disallow". This
means
that any application or library that enables the Security Manager by
calling `System.setSecurityManager` will now have to specify
`-Djava.security.manager=allow` on the command-line in order for that
code to continue working as expected. This change was originally
targeted for JDK 17, but after some discussion/feedback from the
community, the change was delayed until JDK 18 [3].
[2] https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8270380
[3] https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/411#Description
# JEP 416 - Reimplement Core Reflection with Method Handles
JEP 416 [4] reimplements `java.lang.reflect.Method`,
`java.lang.reflect.Constructor`, and `java.lang.reflect.Field` on
top of
`java.lang.invoke` method handles. Making method handles the
underlying
mechanism for reflection will reduce the maintenance and development
cost of both the `java.lang.reflect` and `java.lang.invoke` APIs.
This
is solely an implementation change but we encourage you to test your
project to identify any behavior or performance regressions.
