That's great. What's the chances of you being able to push PRs for the changes you've got? I build OpenJDK 23 pretty regularly, so I'm interested in what changes you need and would be happy to incorporate them. Sames goes for bug fixes that correct the JDK behaviour based on the inbuilt test suite (many of which probably also should be merged back into JDK21, etc.). Also please email me directly if there's questions you have or explanations I can provide for specific pieces of BSD specific code. -- Greg
