A new set of releases is now available for IcedTea6, which uses OpenJDK6 as its base:

• IcedTea6 1.10.7 (based on OpenJDK6 b22)
• IcedTea6 1.11.2 (based on OpenJDK6 b24)

Full details of each release can be found below.

PLEASE NOTE: With this release, the 1.9 series is now NO LONGER SUPPORTED, in a general push to reduce the release support burden to two releases per JDK release (6, 7, 8). We strongly recommend that you upgrade to a new release series; either of the two above for OpenJDK6. Alternatively, make the jump to OpenJDK7 with 2.0.1, 2.1.0 or 2.2.0 (to be released shortly).

GNU Classpath, essential libraries for java, is a project to create free core class libraries for use with runtimes, compilers and tools for the java programming language.

The GNU Classpath developer snapshot releases are not directly aimed at the end user but are meant to be integrated into larger development platforms. For example JamVM, CACAO and Kaffe can make use of an
installed copy of GNU Classpath 0.99, while GCC (gcj) will use the developer snapshots as a base for future versions. For more projects based on GNU Classpath, see http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/stories.html.

This release brings with it a number of interesting new features:

• Addition of java.util.regex.Pattern.quote.
• Addition of java.io.IOError.
• Addition of java.io.Console.

There have also been many bugfixes over the past year. Those relevant to 0.99 can be found in our bug database.

With the 0.95 release, we switched fully towards the 1.5 generics work that we previously released separately as classpath-generics. All this work is now fully integrated in the main release and various runtimes
(gcj, cacao, jamvm, ikvm, etc) have been extended to take advantage of the new generics, annotations and enumeration support in the core library. As a consequence, only 1.5 capable compilers (currently the
Eclipse Compiler for Java (ecj) and Sun’s javac) may be used to build Classpath.

The GNU Classpath developers site provides detailed information on how to start with helping the GNU Classpath project and gives an overview of the core class library
packages currently provided.

For each snapshot release generated documentation is provided through the gjdoc tool, which is part of GNU Classpath 0.99. Full documentation on the currently implementated packages and classes can
be found at: http://developer.classpath.org/doc/ We are looking into how to extend the documentation experience in the future. Please contact the mailinglist if you would like to help with this effort.

IcedTea6 with the NSS Provider but no hardware AES

IcedTea7 with the NSS Provider but no hardware AES

There is still a noticeable improvement using the NSS provider, but not as significant as when AES is handled in hardware. This does, however, mean that enabling NSS as the primary provider should show a benefit on all installs, not just ones with hardware AES.

I also found today that Oracle have enabled this provider with a priority of 2 on Solaris builds from jdk7u4 on; see bug 7088989 and this commit. Priority 1 is given to a proprietary provider, com.oracle.security.ucrypto.UcryptoProvider, the source of which is not included in OpenJDK.

IcedTea7 With the Default SunJCE Provider

IcedTea7 With the NSS Provider

So 7 with NSS seems to be faster than 6 with NSS, especially with the larger block sizes. Not too surprising, given it has a newer version of HotSpot.

Over the last week or so, we at Red Hat have been looking at whether using this NSS provider as the primary provider (i.e. listing it as number one in the java.security file) provides a performance advantage, specifically as concerns AES and the fact that newer chips have AES instructions which are supported by assembly code in NSS. We wrote a little test case which runs a number of encryption and decryption cycles (we ran with 20,000) and measures the average number of nanoseconds take to encrypt or decrypt each byte, and the amount of MB/s overall. We ran this on both IcedTea6 & IcedTea7 builds with and without the NSS provider enabled at the top priority. The results are below. The ns/byte figures are rounded to two decimal places. Tests were run on a 2.7GHz Intel Xeon E5-2680 machine with hardware AES instructions and 4 processors with 8 cores each, giving 32 cores, each with 20MB L3 cache.

IcedTea6 without the NSS provider

IcedTea6 with the NSS Provider

There’s clearly a significant improvement when using the NSS provider on a machine with AES instructions. We still need to run more tests to see what the improvement (if any) is when using NSS without AES instructions. As an aside, an early version of the test didn’t show as significant an increase, instead more like a 1.6x speedup. We believe this was down to several issues:

1. The entire process was being measured, including setup of the cipher, not just the encryption.
2. The use of System.currentTimeMillis() rather than nanoseconds
3. The use of doFinal where it returns a new array, rather than reusing the old one, thus creating significant garbage.

Update

Further results are collected in subsequent blogs:

• IcedTea7 Results
• Results Without Hardware AES Enabled

The IcedTea 2.1 release updates our OpenJDK7 support to include the latest updates in u2 as well as the security updates just released:

• S7082299, CVE-2011-3571: Fix in AtomicReferenceArray
• S7088367, CVE-2011-3563: Fix issues in java sound
• S7110683, CVE-2012-0502: Issues with some KeyboardFocusManager method
• S7110687, CVE-2012-0503: Issues with TimeZone class
• S7110700, CVE-2012-0505: Enhance exception throwing mechanism in ObjectStreamClass
• S7110704, CVE-2012-0506: Issues with some method in corba
• S7112642, CVE-2012-0497: Incorrect checking for graphics rendering object
• S7118283, CVE-2012-0501: Better input parameter checking in zip file processing
• S7126960, CVE-2011-5035: Add property to limit number of request headers to the HTTP Server

We believe that this 2.1 release takes IcedTea beyond u3. In addition to the changes in the public OpenJDK7 repository for u2 and the security updates, which is what we believe u3 is comprised of[*], we also include a number of additional fixes (three already in u4):

• S7140882: Don’t return booleans from methods returning pointers This is in the u4 tree and is a pre-requisite for building with gcc 4.7. It has already been released in IcedTea6 1.11.0.
• S7091528: javadoc attempts to parse .class files This is in the u4 tree and is necessary for building documentation with some projects, such as java-gnome. It has already been released in IcedTea6 1.10.5, 1.9.12 and 1.8.12.
• S7103610: _NET_WM_PID and WM_CLIENT_MACHINE are not set This is in the u4 tree and is necessary to make the JDK work with the panel in GNOME3. It has already been released in IcedTea6 1.11.0 and IcedTea 2.0.1.
• S7049339: AnyBlit is broken with non-rectangular clips. Despite being marking with a high priority, this is only in OpenJDK8. We intend to propose it for u4. It fixes rendering issues with Batik and has already been released in IcedTea6 1.11.0.

In addition, IcedTea includes the usual IcedTea patches to allow builds against system libraries and to support more estoric architectures.

Please note support for alternative VM solutions (CACAO, Shark, Zero) may be lacking in this release, as there has been little development activity from the teams concerned since the 2.0 release, while OpenJDK itself has moved on to HotSpot 22. Patches are welcome; please contact the mailing list (distro-pkg-dev@openjdk.java.net) and/or file bugs under the appropriate component.

Full details of the release can be found below.

[*] It is difficult to make authoritative statements about u3 as the release is proprietary. Oracle still do not provide GPL binaries based on OpenJDK.

A new set of security releases is now available for IcedTea6, which uses OpenJDK6 as its base:

• IcedTea6 1.8.13 (based on OpenJDK6 b18)
• IcedTea6 1.9.13 (based on OpenJDK6 b20)
• IcedTea6 1.10.6 (based on OpenJDK6 b22)

and one for IcedTea 2.x, which uses OpenJDK7 as its base:

• IcedTea 2.0.1 (based on OpenJDK7 u1 + u3 security patches)

All updates contain the following security fixes:

• S7082299, CVE-2011-3571: Fix in AtomicReferenceArray
• S7088367, CVE-2011-3563: Fix issues in java sound
• S7110683, CVE-2012-0502: Issues with some KeyboardFocusManager method
• S7110687, CVE-2012-0503: Issues with TimeZone class
• S7110700, CVE-2012-0505: Enhance exception throwing mechanism in ObjectStreamClass
• S7110704, CVE-2012-0506: Issues with some method in corba
• S7112642, CVE-2012-0497: Incorrect checking for graphics rendering object
• S7118283, CVE-2012-0501: Better input parameter checking in zip file processing
• S7126960, CVE-2011-5035: Add property to limit number of request headers to the HTTP Server

Full details of each release can be found below. For details of the 1.11.1 security release, see Omair’s e-mail.

*PLEASE NOTE*: With this release, the 1.8 series is now NO LONGER SUPPORTED. We strongly recommend that you upgrade to a new release series; either 1.9.13, 1.10.6 or 1.11.1 for OpenJDK6. Alternatively, make the jump to OpenJDK7 with 2.0.1 or the new 2.1.0 (to be released shortly).

Happy Hacking!

The number of patches applied has dramatically decreased in the 2.x series and we hope to see more of the lingering patches go upstream. The remaining ones are changes to allow the use of system libraries and to support estoric architectures. Help in upstreaming these would be appreciated, particularly from those who can try IcedTea on architectures other than x86, x86_64 and ARM where most builds take place.

The patch pile for IcedTea6 has tended to increase, as this is still the release with the most usage and bug reports from both developers on GNU/Linux distributions and our developers. At the same time, there has been more reluctance from upstream to review these patches, especially as Oracle don’t use OpenJDK6. Again, help with this would be appreciated. There is lots of low-hanging fruit in patches/openjdk which are backports from 7 and just need someone to post and get them approved for 6.

The IcedTea project provides a harness to build the source code from OpenJDK6 using Free Software build tools. It includes an ARM assembly port as well as support for alternate virtual machines such as CACAO and JamVM.
