<ul>
<li><span class="issuelink">we need help testing changes to
3-arg Class.forName method. The method has always been
specified to link the class but the implementation has
historically not done this when invoked with the
"initialize" parameter set to false. The bug has been
fixed in JDK 14 but it has the potential to change the
behavior of code that uses Class.forName to load classes
that cannot be linked.</span><span class="issuelink"></span>
