TravaOpenJDK8 is OpenJDK8 for developers. Since it is based on dcevm and integrated HotswapAgent, it allows advanced hotswap like method-field addition and many more. Trava is a build farm created and maintained by HotswapProjects. Build is transparent as much as possible. dcevm-8 source code is built on Travis and the produced JDK images are bundled with HotswapAgent. Building is exclusively based on modified AdoptOpenJDK scripts.
Download windows/linux/macos binaries, unpack and set JAVA_HOME to it's location (or add it as JDK to your IDE).
Use travaJDK as alternative jdk, do not use option -XXaltjvm=dcevm
, since dcevm main JVM in this distribution. For HotswapAgent configuration look at hotswapagent.org
If you are using dcevm as alternative JVM via -XXaltjvm=dcevm, just extract libjvm.so
from travaJDK package and move it to standard JVM directory. Graphical installation is not supported by travaJDK now.
It is not necessary to use supplied binaries, you can build own binaries. It is simple and it can be done in several clicks:
.travis.yml
to upload the result to your repositoryIn case a new branch is created in source repository, then modify --branch
argument to new branch.
git push origin :refs/tags/${SOURCE_JDK_TAG}
git tag -fa ${SOURCE_JDK_TAG}
git push origin master --tags
Let's jdk source repository has new tag of value TAGVAL
SOURCE_JDK_TAG=
in .tarvis.yml
to TAGVAL
