Hello David, All is well for Hibernate projects on JDK 18.
I'm having trouble running the Gradle builds on JDK19, though: even running Gradle itself on JDK11, it seems Gradle is unable to use JDK19 as a toolchain. I'm still investigating and will report where appropriate (it's probably a Gradle bug). Summary for the wiki: Hibernate ORM: Versions 5.6 and 6.0 tested against JDK 18 EA33. No problems to report. Hibernate Validator: Version 7.0 tested against JDK 18 EA33 and JDK 19 EA7. No problems to report. Hibernate Search: Version 6.1 tested against JDK 18 EA33 and JDK 19 EA7. No problems to report. Hibernate Reactive: Version 1.1 tested against JDK 18 EA33. No problems to report.
