I'd suggest to please ASAP revert the Multi-Release JAR file patch and provide
a new preview build as soon as possible. I think there is more work needed to
fix this. If this does not revert to the original state, it will be impossible
to build and test Lucene, Elasticsearch,.... (and almost every Java project out
there!). So short: We cannot test anymore and it is likely that we cannot
support Java 9 anymore because the build system used by most Java projects
behind the scenes does not bootstrap itself anymore.
Sigh, I think those of us that reviewed this missed the point that the
fragment is appended by default. This will of course break code that
parses URL strings in naive ways (anything looking for ".xml" should be
looking at the path component of course). I'll create a bug for this
now, assuming you haven't created one already.
One general point is that the purpose of EA builds and timely testing by
Lucene and other projects is invaluable for shaking out issues. There
will be issues periodically and much better to find these within a few
days of pushing a change rather than months later.
