Temurin-build: Shenandoah GC not available in 11.0.9

[marko-asplund]

Platform: Linux

Architecture: x86_64

Please describe the issue that you are having with our binaries and if possible how to recreate it.

The AdoptOpenJDK 11.0.9 build doesn't appear to include Shenandoah GC.
Is it supposed to include the GC?

According to OpenJDK wiki it should be in mainline builds:

_In mainline OpenJDK 11u builds since 11.0.9._

Here's what happens when trying to enable the GC on v11.0.9:

~ % docker run -it openjdk:11-jre-buster

It seems to be available in the Zulu OpenJDK 11.0.9+11 build:

The AdoptOpenJDK 11.0.9 build doesn't appear to include Shenandoah GC.

Shit.

Is it supposed to include the GC?

Yes, see https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk-build/pull/2125.

Without any Docker in between:

Updated bulids in progress and they seem to work:

Shenandoah-enabled builds are up on the web site as jdk-11.0.9+11.1 for the relevant platforms

[marko-asplund]

Awesome - thanks! 🚀 🙌 👍

[marko-asplund]

@sxa Thanks again! 👍

Btw, are you guys also releasing the official adoptopenjdk docker images?
It would be great to get a adoptopenjdk:11-jre-hotspot variant with 11.0.9 and Shenandoah.

[aahlenst]

We make those. Always takes more time because it requires collaboration with outside orgs. PR is there: https://github.com/docker-library/official-images/pull/8953

Yep - there was a slight delay as some modifications had to be made to handle some docker platforms having a .1 release and not others, so they will definitely be made available!
