Testing Log4J against JDK 8 EA builds
Hi,
I am from the OpenJDK Quality Group at Oracle. I am working with Open
Source projects
that are testing JDK 8 Early Access builds (either those published by
Oracle <https://jdk8.java.net/download.html>, or their own)
and I would like to encourage more of it to happen.
I am looking for a contact person who is interested in working with me ,
sharing your test
experiences and any issues uncovered by testing Log4J with JDK 8 EA
builds. I expect
this will be of benefit to both communities.
We are now very late in the release cycle of JDK 8 , issues found late
may be postponed to
an Update Release.
Rgds, Rory

Isn't there an Oracle bug tracker id we can refer to?

Rory,
We have been actively testing Log4j with JDK 8 since about March 2013. The only problem we found so far was the removal of sun.reflect.Reflection#getCallerClass(int), which spurred months of discussions, disagreements, and proposed fixes. Ultimately, the change was reverted and has been postponed until JDK 9 to give the community time to come up with a public API to replace it.
If you have any other questions, let me know.
Thanks,
Nick
