Liberica JDK 8u282, 11.0.10, and 15.0.2 are here

18.9

January marks the beginning of the year and a new JDK release. Welcome versions 8u282, 11.0.10, and 15.0.2! This time, the release contains 401 fixes overall (139 in JDK 8, 200 in JDK 11, and 62 in JDK 15). It will aid Java developers with the following features, selected and crafted by BellSoft based on the latest IT trends.

1. Support for Apple Silicon

Liberica JDK now runs natively on M1-powered Apple products. This feature applies to both LTS’s (8, 11) and the current Liberica JDK 15. Given that in July 2020 we added AArch64 support for LibericaFX to JDK 11, the most recent LTS version, it paved the way to include it for 64-bit ARM processors in Macs and Macbooks. Apple Silicon users will benefit from full-fledged JavaFX (including Graphics, Controls, Media, and Webkit modules) in all Full bundles to create complex and appealing visual interfaces.

When it comes to JVM features, all GCs, C1 and C2 JIT Compilers are supported. Graal JIT Compiler, Ahead-of-Time Compilation, and Class Data Sharing are explicitly not supported on this platform in this release.

2. JDK EA trimmed down by 5 MB

Our last article discussed how we build minuscule Liberica JDK and JRE images suitable for cloud environments and microservices. Along with today’s new version, BellSoft releases special Early Access binaries that are even smaller than before. All are reduced by 3–6 MB in size, or 5 to 14.7 percent. Such an improvement will bring extra efficiency and savings to software development with Docker containers.

4. Run image with: docker run –rm name:tag

3. New architecture/OS combination

If previously Liberica only supported Alpine Linux on Intel x86, this release extends it to AArch64. We see that the ARM architecture is becoming increasingly more prevalent in software development and cannot help but deliver.

4. Liberica installers and repository for Alpine Linux (Intel & AArch64)

Before, Liberica binaries for Linux distributions could only be downloaded as digitally signed TAR.GZ archives, DEB or RPM files. Now we offer a possibility to install JDK and JRE packages on Alpine Linux with a standard apk add <liberica package> procedure. Here’s how you do it.

To add BellSoft official Alpine Linux repository, use the following commands:

## add our repository

echo "https://apk.bell-sw.com/main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apk/repositories

## add our official signing key

sudo wget -P /etc/apk/keys/ https://apk.bell-sw.com/[email protected]

Now you install Liberica as easily as typing the following command:

sudo apk add bellsoft-java8

It’s also possible to fetch the package directly from BellSoft’s website with busybox wget. Find the desired package on the Downloads page. Copy its URL and paste it in the command line, i.e.:

wget https://download.bell-sw.com/java-ea/15.0.2+11-ea/bellsoft-jdk15.0.2+11-ea-linux-aarch64-musl-lite.apk

Then install the newly downloaded package locally:

sudo apk add --allow-untrusted bellsoft-jdk15.0.2+11-ea-linux-aarch64-musl-lite.apk

You can omit the --allow-untrusted option in case if you’ve already added our official signing key as described above.

We continue making our products more helpful for your day-to-day development tasks. You can rely on BellSoft to look into what the community needs and bring it to Liberica users.

All builds are ready for download on our website.
