Support for Shenandoah builds

[2m]

Would jabba be a good place to add support for JVM builds with Shenandoah?

Binary builds are provided by the build farm. The build numbers change daily, and only seven of the last ones are available to download. I would imagine the auto-discovery for index.json will have to be changed to support this.

I am willing to help out if you think this is a good idea.

P.S. I am a maintainer of JDK8 Shenandoah build for ArchLinux. Always changing build numbers make it tedious keeping the PKGBUILD definition up to date. I think having support for jabba would be a better approach.

Hi Martynas.

Sure, openjdk-shenandoah@1.{8,9,10}.* added (synced every 24h).

You'll need [email protected]+ for installation to work (tar.xz is not supported by jabba pre 0.10.0).

$ jabba install [email protected]
$ java --version
