Hi,
The book itself does not use Java much (fop and its deps), but I know there
are Java users among the LFS'ers. So I'd like to ask them a question: OpenJDK
for Java 9 has been recently released, and the question is whether to move to
Java 9 or to keep Java 8 for the time being. I have no idea of the differences
between Java 8 and 9 and of the difficulties to move code from 8 to 9. That's
why I ask, before applying the BLFS "update to the most recent release"
(loose) policy.
Regards,
Pierre
Hello, I think it is better to keep Blfs up to date moving to Java 9. In
general Java is good in backward compatibility.

I've begun moving to JAVA 9. It seems there is an OSS JVM made available at
http://download.java.net/java/GA/jdk9/9.0.1/binaries/openjdk-9.0.1_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz.
I think of using that for bootstrapping, instead of hosting it on anduin. Or
maybe just using anduin for a 32-bit machine, which is not provided. Thoughts?
Pierre
The download site listed above says that binaries for other than x64
will be available later. Until that happens, you could use ojdk8
binaries to build jdk9, don't you think? They're available for both x86
and x86_64.
