JAVA ENHANCEMENT PROPOSALS (JEP): None. RELEASE NOTES: core-libs/java.io: JDK-8290832: Restoring Previous `user.dir` Property Behaviour A change, JDK-8194154, was introduced in the 8u342 release of OpenJDK, causing the JDK to ignore attempts to set the `user.dir` property. While this change is suitable for a major release (it was originally introduced in the initial release of OpenJDK 11), changing the behaviour of such a property in an update release creates compatibility issues in software that relies on the behaviour in prior versions of OpenJDK 8. As a result, we have reverted this change in 8u345. ALL FIXED ISSUES, BY COMPONENT AND PRIORITY: core-libs/java.io: (P2) JDK-8290832: It is no longer possible to change "user.dir" in the JDK8 infrastructure/release_eng: (P4) JDK-8291568: Bump update version of OpenJDK: 8u345
