Fyi, -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: A lot of packages fixed to build with jdk9 Date: Thu, 12 Oct 2017 08:42:29 +0200 From: Fridrich Strba <fridrich.st...@suse.com> To: IcedTea <distro-pkg-...@openjdk.java.net>
Hello, good people, In openSUSE Tumbleweed, our rolling distribution, we switched to OpenJDK9 as a default Java since a week before the official OpenJDK9 release. I spent a considerable time going over different Java packages to make sure they build with OpenJDK9. The big chunk of the work is to be found here: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/Java:packages Some are really easy, just to bump the source and target levels, but some are result of reading thoroughly the code and understanding different problems. So, if you are a distro packager and have to port packages to Java 9, before you waste you life, check there for eventual patches. They are all contributed under the license of the underlying project. Just a heads-up Cheers Fridrich
