Welcome to the first OpenJDK Quality Outreach update of 2026.


The first Release Candidate builds of JDK 26 are now available[1]. At this =
stage, only P1 issues will be considered for evaluation. The focus is now r=
apdily shifting to early access testing of JDK 27.

JDK 26 will officially launch at JavaOne[2] in California next month. If yo=
u=92re attending or considering attending, please let me know, as I am plan=
ning an informal Quality Outreach gathering. I also have a very limited num=
ber of complimentary passes available for active QO project members. If you=
 are interested, please email me to request one.

And as usual, don't forget to review the heads-up below.

# Heads-Up - JDK 26: DecimalFormat Uses the Double.toString(double) Algorit=
hm

Since JDK 21, `java.text.DecimalFormat::format` and `java.util.Formatter::t=
oString` produce slightly different outcomes on some double values. This ra=
re situation occurs due to the fact that `java.util.Formatter`, together wi=
th `Double.toString()`, got its algorithm enhanced in JDK 21. A fix was int=
roduced in JDK 26 for the `java.text.DecimalFormat` implementation to use t=
he same algorithm as `java.util.Formatter` and `Double.toString()`, thus pr=
oducing the same outcome.

For more details, please check article[3].

# Heads-Up - JDK 27: Removal of `ThreadPoolExecutor.finalize()`

Finalization was unreliable, introduced security risks, and negatively impa=
cted performance. For these reasons, it was deprecated for removal in JDK 1=
8, and both the JDK and the broader Java ecosystem have been gradually redu=
cing and removing its use in favor of modern alternatives such as try-with-=
resources and the Cleaner API. See JEP 421[4] for details. This effort cont=
inues in JDK 27 as the removal of `finalize()` progresses.

`ThreadPoolExecutor` is a non-final implementation of `ExecutorService` tha=
t may serve as a superclass for executor services in frameworks, libraries,=
 and applications. Its `finalize` method was deprecated in JDK 9, re-specif=
ied to do nothing (thus left empty) in JDK 11, and deprecated for removal a=
s part of JEP 421 in JDK 18. Now, JDK 27 is removing the empty method[5], w=
hich can lead to compile errors in existing code.

While `Object.finalize()` declares that it `throws Throwable`, `ThreadPoolE=
xecutor.finalize()` does not. This means that calls to `ThreadPoolExecutor.=
finalize()`, either directly or by an extending class through `super.finali=
ze()`, will now implicitly call `Object.finalize()` and these calls may enc=
ounter a `Throwable` where they did not before, which is likely to result i=
n a compile-time error.

Projects encountering this situation are strongly encouraged to remove this=
 (and any other) use of `finalize()`. If absolutely necessary, a workaround=
 would be to enclose the invocation of `finalize()` in a `try` block. Since=
 this ultimately calls `Object.finalize()`, which is empty, the `catch` blo=
ck can likewise be empty.

For more details, please check this article[6].

I=92d like to thank everyone who has already provided feedback on the JDK 2=
6 builds. Your input is incredibly valuable, especially when received early=
 in the development cycle.

P.S. I hope to see some of you at JavaOne!
P.P.S. Please let me know if you don't want to receive these OpenJDK Qualit=
y Outreach updates anymore.
