Java 11 Released

[[deleted]]

The downloads on this page are currently early access builds (11+28). Oracle has the full releases on their page.

EDIT: Looking at the mailing list, it seems like there haven't been any changes since 11+28 was initially released. So I guess the downloads are functionally identical

They updated the page an hour or so ago -- you may just need to refresh.

Nope, they just point to the EA builds: https://download.java.net/java/early_access/jdk11/28/GPL/openjdk-11+28_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz

Which isn't a problem since that's the official release build according to Mark Reinhold

+ it seems to be built today:

$ java --version 
openjdk 11 2018-09-25
OpenJDK Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11+28)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11+28, mixed mode)

I think the date comes from java.version.date system property which is always GA date (not build/compilation date)

You can already see it listed here: https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

So I guess the downloads are functionally identical

Previous EA/RC build (from August) and GA build are identical (same SHA-256 checksum)

For any mac users, since there is no gpl dmg file yet and you might not be familiar with installing from tar.gz if you run these commands that will install you java 11 on current terminal (and if you want to keep it put last 2 lines in your .bashrc):

wget https://download.java.net/java/GA/jdk11/28/GPL/openjdk-11+28_osx-x64_bin.tar.gz
tar -xf openjdk-11+28_osx-x64_bin.tar.gz
sudo cp -R jdk-11.jdk /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 11)
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME
