Chapter 2. Eclipse Temurin features

Eclipse Temurin does not contain structural changes from the upstream distribution of OpenJDK.

For the list of changes and security fixes that the latest OpenJDK 21 release of Eclipse Temurin includes, see OpenJDK 21.0.2 Released.

New features and enhancements

Review the following release notes to understand new features and feature enhancements included with the Eclipse Temurin 21.0.2 release:

KEEPALIVE extended socket options support added on Windows

On Windows 10 version 1709 or later platforms, the java.net.ExtendedSocketOptions class now supports the TCP_KEEPIDLE and TCP_KEEPINTERVAL options.

Similarly, on Windows 10 version 1703 or later platforms, the java.net.ExtendedSocketOptions class now supports the TCP_KEEPCOUNT option.

See JDK-8308593 (JDK Bug System).

Fixed potential JVM failures when using ZGC and a non-default ObjectAlignmentInBytes value

In the initial release of OpenJDK 21, if you ran the JVM with the -XX:+UseZGC option and a non-default value for -XX:ObjectAlignmentInBytes, the JVM could fail or malfunction.

OpenJDK 21.0.2 resolves this issue to ensure that you can successfully use the Z Garbage Collector (ZGC) and non-default values for Java object alignment when running the JVM.

See JDK-8315082 (JDK Bug System).

Peak values for committed memory included in NMT reports

In OpenJDK 21.0.2, Native Memory Tracking (NMT) reports now show the peak value for all categories. The peak value is the highest value for committed memory in a given NMT category over the lifetime of the JVM process.

If the committed memory for a category is currently at its highest value, the NMT report shows an at peak value; otherwise, the NMT report shows the historic peak value.

For example, the following report output shows that compiler arena memory peaked above 6 MB but is now approximately 200KB: 

Compiler (arena=196KB #4) (peak=6126KB #16)

See JDK-8317772 (JDK Bug System).

JVM warnings about unsupported THPs on Linux

On Linux platforms, if Transparent Huge Pages (THPs) are requested but not supported, the JVM now prints the following message to standard output: 

UseTransparentHugePages disabled; transparent huge pages are not supported by the operating system.
