  Java 8 remains the default JDK for this release. The inclusion of Java 9 / OpenJDK 9 will allow developers to develop and test their applications for the next version of Java in parallel while everyone can continue using the stable Java 8 for daily use.

  

  More information about the new features of OpenJDK 9 is available from http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk9/[the OpenJDK website].

+ === System Java Setting Decoupled from Java Command Setting

+ In earlier versions of Fedora, Java applications installed from RPMs were run in the JVM that was found using the `PATH` environment variable. From this release, Java applications will be run using the default system JVM, which will be OpenJDK 8 in Fedora 27, without refering to `PATH`. Users will still be able to override the default by using the `JAVA_HOME` environment variable.

+ 

+ More detail about this revised configuration can be found on the https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Decouple_system_java_setting_from_java_command_setting[change page].
