Release Note: Deprecate VFORK Launch Mechanism from Process Implementation (linux)

XMLWordPrintable

      On Linux, the `-Djdk.lang.Process.launchMechanism=VFORK` option has been deprecated due to being inherently dangerous. It will be removed in a future release.

      Customers are advised to avoid using this property. If possible, they should remove it and use the default launch mechanism based on posix_spawn. In case that is not possible, they should use `-Djdk.lang.Process.launchMechanism=FORK` instead.
