 ### Installation Directory Path
 **NOTE:** This component accesses resource files for testing. As a result, the directory elements of the full absolute path of the target installation directory must qualify as Java identifiers. In other words, the directory elements must not have any space characters (or non-Java identifier characters) in any of the path elements. This is required by the Oracle Java Specification in order to ensure location-independent access to resources: [See Oracle Location-Independent Access to Resources](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/lang/resources.html)
 
-### OpenJDK Version 21
-An OpenJDK-compatible build of Java 21, provided by one of the Open-Source providers, such as Azul Systems, Red Hat, SAP, Eclipse Temurin, etc, is required.
+### OpenJDK Version 24
+An OpenJDK-compatible build of Java 24, provided by one of the Open-Source JVM providers, such as Azul Systems, Red Hat, SAP, Eclipse Temurin, etc, is required.
 All of the testing of this release has been performed with an Eclipse Temurin build.
 
-This release uses the new Java Foreign Function & Memory (FFM) features that are in "preview" in Java 21.
-As a result, the JVM flag <nobr>**--enable-preview**</nobr> must be set at compile and at runtime.
-
-**NOTE:** OpenJDK versions greater than 21 do not support running Java 21 class files (Class ID 65) with preview code. The runtime JVM version must be 21.
-
-**NOTE:** The Eclipse Compiler for Java (ECJ) version 21, used by default in both the Eclipse JDT IDE and the VScode IDE, will not allow compilation of preview code for Java version 21. Both Eclipse and VScode can be configured to use an OpenJDK compiler instead, but you will loose the incremental build capability of the ECJ.

+This release uses the new Java Foreign Function & Memory (FFM) features that were made part of the Java Language in in Java 22.
 
 ## Compilation and Test using Maven
 This DataSketches component is structured as a Maven project and Maven is the recommended tool for compile and test.
 
 #### A Toolchain is required
 
-* You must have a JDK type toolchain defined in location *~/.m2/toolchains.xml* that specifies where to find a locally installed OpenJDK-compatible version 21.
-* Your default \$JAVA\_HOME compiler must be OpenJDK compatible, specified in the toolchain, and may be a version greater than 21. Note that if your \$JAVA\_HOME is set to a Java version greater than 21, Maven will automatically use the Java 21 version specified in the toolchain instead. The included pom.xml specifies the necessary JVM flags, so no further action should be required.
+* You must have a JDK type toolchain defined in location *~/.m2/toolchains.xml* that specifies where to find a locally installed OpenJDK-compatible version 24.
+* Your default \$JAVA\_HOME compiler must be OpenJDK compatible, specified in the toolchain, and may be a version greater than 24. Note that if your \$JAVA\_HOME is set to a Java version greater than 24, Maven will automatically use the Java 24 version specified in the toolchain instead. The included pom.xml specifies the necessary JVM flags, so no further action should be required.
 * Note that the paths specified in the toolchain must be fully qualified direct paths to the OpenJDK version locations. Using environment variables will not work.
