## JDK 12 compatibility notes

As of February 2019, JDK 12 is not in full release, but early-access builds are available. Note that even the final JDK 12 release will not be an LTS release, so the remarks above about non-LTS releases apply.
JDK 12 was released in March 2019. But it is not an LTS release, so the remarks above about non-LTS releases apply.

However, the Scala 2.12 community build is [up and running](https://scala-ci.typesafe.com/view/scala-2.12.x/job/scala-2.12.x-jdk12-integrate-community-build/) on an early-access JDK 12 build, and most projects are green.

* the `-release` flag doesn't work ([scala/bug#11403](https://github.com/scala/bug/issues/11403))
* the optimizer doesn't work ([scala/bug#11372](https://github.com/scala/bug/issues/11372))

Both issues have already been fixed. The fixes will be included in [Scala 2.12.9](https://github.com/scala/scala/milestone/77). A release date for 2.12.9 has not been set. In the meantime, consider using a [Scala nightly build](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40622878/how-do-i-tell-sbt-to-use-a-nightly-build-of-scala-2-12-or-2-13) to test the fixes.

In other respects, so far it appears that 12 is similar to 11 with respect to Scala compatibility.
