[Solved] Freezes with Java-Update 8u102

[Peter_Jodeleit]

Update: Java update 8u112 has solved the issue.

With the current Java Version 8 Update 102 WebStart applications will freeze because of an internal JVM deadlock. Oracle is aware of this issue, the bug is (partly) visible to public at http://bugs.java.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=8161700
There is no workaround for this issue so we strongly recomment not to update to this version. Please stick to version 8u101, which is the latest security update provided by Oracle.

If the application locks up, the thread dump will show the following pattern:

java.lang.Thread.State: BLOCKED (on object monitor)

          at com.sun.deploy.security.DeployURLClassPath.getLoader(Unknown Source)

          - waiting to lock <0x________> (a com.sun.jnlp.JNLPClassLoader)

Will will post any updates here, if you want to contact our technical support team concernig this issue please refer to this post or our internal bug id: #190088.

Thank you for your patience!

Java 7u111 seems to be affected by this problem as well. As this version is only available for Oracle customers we suggest contacting Oracle directly if you experience the problem in this version.

Zumindest unter Linux funktioniert Webstart wieder mit 8u112.

There has been no issues with 8u112 during the last weeks, so I've changed the title to "solved".
