JAVA SE JDK AND JRE 8.381


JAVA ALLOWS YOU TO PLAY ONLINE GAMES, CHAT WITH PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD,
CALCULATE YOUR MORTGAGE INTEREST, AND VIEW IMAGES IN 3D, JUST TO NAME A FEW.

NEWS

Java SE is the standard version of Java, it includes libraries for desktop
applications, networking, security, database access, and more. If you need to
run Java applications, downloading and installing the JRE is enough. If you're
developing Java applications, you'll want to download the JDK, which also
includes the JRE.

The JRE is the Java Runtime Environment, it covers most users needs. Contains
everything required to run Java applications on your system. It is a package of
everything necessary to run a compiled Java program, including the Java Virtual
Machine (JVM), the Java Class Library, the Java command, and other
infrastructure. However, it cannot be used to create new programs.

The JDK is the Java Development Kit, the full-featured SDK for Java. It has
everything the JRE has, but also the compiler (javac) and tools (like javadoc
and jdb). It is capable of creating and compiling programs.

The latest version of Java is Java 20 or JDK 20 released on March, 2023.
However, many versions of Java are actively maintained for compatibility
purposes. Java 8, Java 11 and Java 17 are the three long-term support versions
recommended by Oracle. You can download the version you need below:

 * Java SE 20 Download (latest)
 * Java SE 19 Download
 * Java SE 18 Download
 * Java SE 17 Download (LTS, recommended)
 * Java SE 16 Download
 * Java SE 15 Download
 * Java SE 11 Download (LTS, recommended)
 * Java SE 9 Download
 * Java SE 8 Download (LTS, recommended)

Java 8 is the last free software public update for commercial use, which
explains why it remains popular. Oracle plans to maintain it until at least
2030. Also, you should know that some applications might refer to Java 8 as
version 1.8.0.

Sometimes, even if you are not planning to do any Java development on a
computer, you still need the JDK installed. For example, if you are deploying a
web application with JSP, you are technically just running Java programs inside
the application server. Why would you need the JDK then? Because the application
server will convert JSP into Java servlets and needs to use the JDK to compile
the servlets.


WHAT'S NEW

Marlin Renderer in JDK 8u

Starting from version 8u311, the Marlin graphics rasterizer and its artifacts
will be built and distributed as a part of the JDK/JRE bundles. It is not the
default rendering engine, however there is an option to enable it by setting the
following system property:

sun.java2d.renderer=sun.java2d.marlin.MarlinRenderingEngine

core-libs/java.io:serialization

Context-specific Deserialization Filter Subset

Allow applications to configure context-specific and dynamically-selected
deserialization filters via a JVM-wide filter factory that is invoked to select
a filter for each deserialization stream. The behavior is a strict subset of JEP
415: Context-Specific Deserialization Filters to allow a filter factory to be
configured using a property configured on the command line or in the security
properties file.

The behavior is opt-in based on the presence of the jdk.serialFilterFactory
system property on the command line or the jdk.serialFilterFactory security
property. If set, the JVM-wide filter factory selects the filter for each stream
when the stream is constructed and when a stream-specific filter is set.

The JVM-wide filter factory is a java.util.function.BinaryOperator function
invoked when each ObjectInputStream is constructed and when the stream-specific
filter is set using
sun.misc.ObjectInputFilter.Config.setObjectInputFilter(sun.misc.ObjectInputFilter).
The parameters are the current filter and a requested filter and the function
returns the filter to be used for the stream. When invoked from the
ObjectInputStream constructors, the first parameter is null and the second
parameter is the static JVM-wide filter. When invoked from
sun.misc.ObjectInputFilter.Config.setObjectInputFilter(sun.misc.ObjectInputFilter),
the first parameter is the filter currently set on the stream (which was set in
the constructor), and the second parameter is the filter requested.

A typical filter factory should use or merge the static JVM-wide filter with
other application and context specific filters and the stream-specific filter,
if one is set on the stream. The filter factory implementation can also use any
contextual information at its disposal, for example, extracted from the
application thread context, or its call stack, to compose and combine a new
filter. It is not restricted to only use its two parameters.

Previous release notes

Allow SASL Mechanisms to Be Restricted

 * A security property named jdk.sasl.disabledMechanisms has been added that can
   be used to disable SASL mechanisms. Any disabled mechanism will be ignored if
   it is specified in the mechanisms argument of Sasl.createSaslClient or the
   mechanism argument of Sasl.createSaslServer. The default value for this
   security property is empty, which means that no mechanisms are disabled
   out-of-the-box.

SunPKCS11 Provider Upgraded with Support for PKCS#11 v2.40

 * The SunPKCS11 provider has been updated with support for PKCS#11 v2.40. This
   version adds support for more algorithms such as the AES/GCM/NoPadding
   cipher, DSA signatures using SHA-2 family of message digests, and RSASSA-PSS
   signatures when the corresponding PKCS11 mechanisms are supported by the
   underlying PKCS11 library.

New Checks on Trust Anchor Certificates

 * New checks have been added to ensure that trust anchors are CA certificates
   and contain proper extensions. Trust anchors are used to validate certificate
   chains used in TLS and signed code. Trust anchor certificates must include a
   Basic Constraints extension with the cA field set to true. Also, if they
   include a Key Usage extension, the keyCertSign bit must be set.
 * A new system property named jdk.security.allowNonCaAnchor has been introduced
   to restore the previous behavior, if necessary. If the property is set to the
   empty String or "true" (case-insensitive), trust anchor certificates can be
   used if they do not have proper CA extensions.
 * The default value of this property, if not set, is "false".
 * Note that the property does not apply to X.509 v1 certificates (since they
   don't support extensions).
 * This property is currently used by the JDK implementation. It is not
   guaranteed to be supported by other Java SE implementations.

Exact Match Required for Trusted TLS Server Certificate

 * A TLS server certificate must be an exact match of a trusted certificate on
   the client in order for it to be trusted when establishing a TLS connection.

Added LuxTrust Global Root 2 Certificate

The following root certificate has been added to the cacerts truststore:

+ LuxTrust
+ luxtrustglobalroot2ca
DN: CN=LuxTrust Global Root 2, O=LuxTrust S.A., C=LU

Bug Fixes:

Support for OpenType CFF Fonts

 * Previously, Oracle JDK 8 did not include OpenType CFF fonts (.otf fonts) into
   the standard logical fonts (such as "Dialog" and "SansSerif"). This resulted
   in missing glyphs when rendering text. In the most extreme cases where only
   CFF fonts were installed on the system, a Java exception could be thrown.
 * Several Linux distributions were affected by this issue because they rely on
   CFF fonts to support some languages, which is common for CJK (Chinese,
   Japanese, and Korean) languages.
 * Oracle JDK 8 now uses these CFF fonts, and this issue has been resolved.

Better Serial Filter Handling

 * The jdk.serialFilter system property can only be set on the command line. If
   the filter has not been set on the command line, it can be set can be set
   with java.io.ObjectInputFilter.Config.setSerialFilter. Setting the
   jdk.serialFilter with java.lang.System.setProperty has no effect.
