YourKit Java 14 support

[Michael Doswald]

Is there an ETA when YourKit will support Java 14?

I am particularly interested in profiling on the armhf platform. We updated to Java 14 because Java 13 had a bug in the VM which resulted in a busy-loop that caused one core to stay on 100% CPU utilization. Using version 12 and lower is not possible. I am currently using 2019.8 (b137) but as stated in the documentation, this vesion only supports Java up to version 13.

Hi Michael,

Sorry for inconvenience caused by not supporting Java 14 in the current release.

Java 14 will be officially supported in the next major version of the profiler. The first early access build will come with Java 14 enabled.

As a workaround, please specify the agent startup option "_no_java_version_check". How to specify: https://www.yourkit.com/docs/java/help/ ... ptions.jsp

In case of issues please contact [email protected] . We'll provide you with an internal build based on the current code which fully supports Java 14.

Best regards,
Anton

Thank you, with the '_no_java_version_check' parameter, the profiling seems to work fine.
