Issue
For Java 11.0.7 onwards there was a serious bug that affected MacOS Catalina https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8244818 and would cause my Gui app to crash.
This is now fixed in 11.0.9 but that is not due for release for some time, and this is very serious bug that affects many of my users.
If I go to https://jdk.java.net/15/ i can get early access release of Java 15 (and likewise for Java 16) built 8th July so this should fix the problem, trouble is because Oracle have removed the Nashorn Javscript support from Java 15 onwards I cant use this release yet.
Is there a way to get early version of 11.0.9 ?
Solution
AdoptOpenJDK make nightly builds available. You may need to wait for:
Tuesday, July 28 2020: First merge from jdk11u-dev to jdk11u (tag: 11.0.9+1)
for them to include post-11.0.8 changes. At least, this will give you a known third-party build to point to.
Otherwise, the official release is scheduled for:
Tuesday, October 20 2020 GA; OpenJDK 11.0.9 released (tag: jdk-11.0.9-ga)
No official release of JDK 11 is scheduled before then. As mentioned in a comment:
contact your JDK vendor and ask them about getting an early access version, or otherwise build it yourself.
