Known Issues


docs/release_notes
 Description for Toolkit.getImage() and Toolkit.createImage()
The changes made under JDK-8033530 introduced an inconsistency between the implementation for and the documentation of the following methods:
  • java.awt.Toolkit.getImage(URL u)
  • java.awt.Toolkit.createimage(URL u)
The description in the API document should read:
This method first checks if there is a security manager installed. If so, the method calls the security managers checkPermission() method with the corresponding permission to ensure that the access to the image or the image creation is allowed. If the connection to the specified URL requires either URLPermission or SocketPermission, then URLPermission is used for security checks.
JDK-8154405


Changes


client-libs/java.awt
 Touch Keyboard for Swing/AWT Text Components
This release adds support for automatically showing the touch keyboard for Swing/AWT text components on Microsoft Windows 8 or later. A user can display the touch keyboard either by using a touch screen to tap the text component area or by using a mouse to click in the area, when a keyboard is not attached to a computer.
The system property awt.touchKeyboardAutoShowIsEnabled controls whether this functionality is enabled in the JDK. This functionality is enabled by default. However, if the functionality is not needed, the user can switch it off from the command line by setting the system property to false:
-Dawt.touchKeyboardAutoShowIsEnabled=false


Bug Fixes

This release contains fixes for security vulnerabilities described in the Oracle Critical Patch Update. For a more complete list of the bug fixes included in this release, see the JDK 8u172 Bug Fixes page.
