Selected Changes Targeted to Java 14
- JEP 352: Non-Volatile Mapped Byte Buffers
- Removed Deprecated java.security.acl APIs (JDK-8191138) (we don't use these)
- SunJCE provider now throws NoSuchAlgorithmException for AES/GCM/PKCS5Padding (JDK-8180392)
- Default (XML Transform) ErrorListener No Longer Reports Warnings and Errors to the Console (JDK-8228854) (I'm guessing we don't ever use the default)
- New Method to SAX ContentHandler for Handling XML Declaration (JDK-8230814) (addition to an interface, but can be ignored because a default no-op implementation is provided)
- JEP 349: JFR Event Streaming
