<b><b>G1 pauses may be extremely long with EA build JDK-17+18</b><br>
<br>
</b>During performance testing we noticed that due to a recent
change (JDK-8262068) GC pauses after a G1 full GC may be extremely
slow. The problem has been fixed with JDK-8264987 and that has
already been integrated. This change will be available with the
following EA build JDK-17+19. For more technical info please see

<p><b>JEP 382 [2]</b><b> - Starting with build 19, </b><b>JDK 17
for macOS is *temporarily* switched from using OpenGL</b><b> to

</p>
Heads up to anyone who is testing JDK 17 for running apps on macOS.
Starting with build 19, JDK 17 for macOS is *temporarily* switched
from using OpenGL to using Apple's Metal API for Java 2D rendering.
<br>
<br>
If you are running any kind of 2D / Swing/ AWT UI application on
macOS, and see any rendering related problems<br>
starting with JDK 17 b19, please do report them to us along with a
test case and screen shots. <br>
<br>
You may also set "-Dsun.java2d.opengl=true" to re-enable OpenGL -
which implicitly disables Metal - to confirm that it is a Metal
related rendering glltch.<br>
