 If not using the Netty transport (or you are unable to use OpenSSL for some reason) another alternative is to use the JDK for TLS.
 
-No standard Java release has built-in support for ALPN today ([there is a tracking issue](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8051498) so go upvote it!) so we need to use the [Jetty-ALPN](https://github.com/jetty-project/jetty-alpn") (or [Jetty-NPN](https://github.com/jetty-project/jetty-npn) if on Java < 8) bootclasspath extension for OpenJDK. To do this, add a `Xbootclasspath` JVM option referencing the path to the Jetty `alpn-boot` jar.

However, you can use the JVM agent [Jeety-ALPN-Agent](https://github.com/jetty-project/jetty-alpn-agent) to load the correct Jetty `alpn-boot` jar file for the current Java version. To do this, instead of adding an `Xbootclasspath` option, add a `javaagent` JVM option referencing the path to the Jetty `alpn-agent` jar.
