So, I’ve started building the release with multiple JDK versions.
For every version I ran “mvn clean install -Pallblocks,alldists”: * Java 1.8 didn’t work, as some libraries now baseline with Java 11 * Java 11: OK * Java 17: OK * Java 21: OK Having a look at my JDKs I never found a tools.jar in the lib directory. However, having a look at the XSP module I found out the dependency is only added for non-mac builds (Obviously me building on a Mac isn’t affected). However, looking at the windows jdk zips of Java 1.8, 11, 17 and 21 it seems only Java 1.8 had the tools.jar. I removed the profile of the tools.jar in XSP module and was successful building cocoon with Java 11, 17 and 21 on Mac, Windows, Linux (yeah … I tried all of them) After that I tried making the build work with Java 1.8 and had to find out the last version supporting 1.8 for two libraries. I added a profile “.java-1.8” which auto-enables on Java 1.8 systems. With these changes we’re also able to build on Java 1.8 on Linux, Mac and Windows. Maybe worth doing an RC2 as as it looks building currently only works on Mac 11, 17, 21 and nothing else. Chris Von: Cédric Damioli <cdami...@apache.org> Datum: Freitag, 27.

Which is the target JVM for this release ? On my Windows laptop, I can't compile with JDK 8, due to external dependencies being only JDK11+ And I also can't compile with JDK11+, due to XSP block complaining that it can't find tools.jar Cédric Le 24/10/2023 à 20:50, Christofer Dutz a écrit : Apache Cocoon 2.3.0 has been staged under [2] and it’s time to vote on accepting it for release.
