JDK 16

Description
JEP 380: Unix-Domain Socket Channels has been integrated into JDK 16, but due to a problem with the underlying implementation in Windows 2019 Server, it has been disabled on that platform in this release. The functionality is supported on Linux, macOS and on Windows operating systems whose build number is 18362 or greater. This includes Windows 10 (Version 1903) and newer. There are no known issues with Windows 10 (Version 1903). However, some newer versions of Windows 10 may also show the problem, which affects the ability of some native tools (such as cygwin) to access and delete socket files. Other Java APIs are also affected by the problem, but most native Windows tools are not affected by it. More information can be seen in bugs JDK-8259014 and JDK-8252971. This issue will be resolved in JDK 17 and in a future update to JDK 16.
