Issue
I'm having a very odd issue with Java exiting abruptly and randomly.
I have a Macbook with M1 system (2021 model), with 32GB RAM. I'm running a Windows 11 (ARM64 Insider Preview) VM with Parallels. I have 16GB of RAM allocated for the VM, and 6 cores. I have Liberica JDK 8 (full with JavaFX) installed both on the host and the VM. I'm developing a multi-module Maven project, same project on both the host side and the VM side (the project depends on some Windows side things for some tasks, which is the reason I'm running the Windows VM on the side).
Output from java -version:
openjdk version "1.8.0_332"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_332-b09)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.332-b09, mixed mode)
I've also tried with Azul JDK and had the same issue with it.
On the host side everything works as it should. Maven and Java commands both run successfully with no interruption or issues. On the Windows VM side however, it seems that Java just randomly exits with no error logs or anything really. I noticed it just hangs for a few seconds, and then just exits abruptly. I noticed that it may happen while running a Maven command, or for example running a .jar package with java -jar. Here's a picture of what it looks like (same happens on the picture above though):
A couple weeks back I had no issues at all. But then I had to reinstall Parallels and the VM (reinstalled the whole W11 OS), and suddenly these issues started occurring. I've tried adding -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError to MAVEN_OPTS environment variable to see if it's a OutOfMemoryError, but it did not seem to have any results.
Any ideas?
Solution
In case anyone runs into this issue: I was able to resolve this issue by installing the Windows 11 VM into Parallels from an image downloaded from UUP Dump.
I tried reinstalling the VM downloaded from the Microsoft's Insider Preview page, but the issue still persisted and nothing seemed to be able to fix it. Java still exited randomly pretty frequently.
I downloaded the latest Windows 11 image from UUP Dump and installed that one instead. Installed the exact same versions of Maven, Java, Groovy etc. and surprisingly, the issue vanished. I've been able to run Java on my VM for a day now without issues, whereas with the image downloaded from Microsoft I was able to reproduce the issue pretty much within minutes after configuring my environment and cloning the Git repo of the project I'm developing.
