Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-6856:
--------------------------------------
We should probably hold off work on this issue until we have simplified the
build by removing support for Java 6 and 7 as tracked by DERBY-6857.
> Make it possible to build Derby using JDK 9
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DERBY-6856
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6856
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Build tools
> Affects Versions: 10.12.1.1
> Reporter: Rick Hillegas
>
> Derby can't be built with JDK 9. Java 9 introduces new JDBC classes like
> java.sql.ShardingKey and methods which refer to these new classes.
> In addition, project Jigsaw has created a new way to name classes (see
> http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/220). This breaks the PropertySetter build tool
> which we use so that old JVMs can compile Derby and so that Derby can be
> compiled to run on old JVMs.
> It is likely that we will need to leave this issue open throughout the
> development cycle of Java 9.
