OpenJDK - Change the Future of Java
summary
OpenJDK explains how to contribute and shows a concrete outcome: an external contributor files PR 7928 to fix hashmap initial sizing, the change touches ~20–30 sites across the JDK, adds tests, updates the spec and Apache Santuario, and lands after a three‑week review and CSR process (Mar 23–Apr 18). The fix is integrated, benchmarks and security reviews run, and the new pre-sized hash map behavior ships in the JDK.
