Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-6932:
--------------------------------------
According to Peter Levart on the referenced open-jdk email thread:
"Each Cleaner instance means a separate thread which processes cleanup actions.
If you create an instance in some common module and expose it to other modules,
the same instance can be used in other modules that depend on it."
I think this means that we could get away with a single Cleaner instance for
each component, i.e., each independent jar file we build. When we convert Derby
into jigsaw modules, that might mean a separate Cleaner instance for each
module.
> Migrate finalization to the new Cleaner-based pattern introduced by JDK 9
> build 167

> Key: DERBY-6932
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6932
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: JDBC, Network Client, Network Server
> Affects Versions: 10.14.0.0
> Reporter: Rick Hillegas
> Attachments: ClientConnection.patch,
> derby-6932-01-aa-suppressDeprecationWarnings.diff
>
>
> As of build 167, JDK 9 deprecated the finalize() method. This produces
> deprecation warnings when compiling several Derby classes. See
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6856?focusedCommentId=15990011&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-15990011
> . The recommended fix is a non-trivial mini-project, viz., to migrate to a
> new finalization pattern based on a newly added Java 9 class,
> java.lang.ref.Cleaner. Peter Levart kindly mocked up the fix for one affected
> Derby class (ClientConnection). See
> http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~plevart/misc/Cleaner/derby/ClientConnection_finalize2cleaner.patch
> Further discussion can be found on the following open-jdk email thread:
