Hi Volker, Do you think it would be possible to get the change you committed to JDK12 http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~simonis/webrevs/2018/8214063/ for this issue https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8214063 back-ported to JDK11, as JDK11 is a LTS release and it woud be good to have this fix?
Also, we have received reports of other issues caused by the -qvisibility=hidden when using XLC 13.1 with JDK11 on AIX. One of these is related to : Desktop printer feature cannot detect by following exception. Caused by: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: sun/print/CUPSPrinter.initIDs()Z Thanks Steve Groeger IBM Runtime Technologies Hursley, Winchester Tel: (44) 1962 816911 Mobex: 279990 Mobile: 07718 517 129 Fax (44) 1962 816800 Lotus Notes: Steve Groeger/UK/IBM Internet: groe...@uk.ibm.com Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.
