Hi Rory,
I have tried building Derby with b118. This produced a new boatload of
deprecation warnings which do not seem to be covered by the summary
description of the changes at
http://download.java.net/java/jdk9/changes/jdk-9+118.html. The
deprecations are not described in the jdk 9 javadoc at
http://download.java.net/java/jdk9/docs/api/index.html. Can you
recommend any best practices for ameliorating these deprecation
warnings? A summary of these deprecation warnings follows:
o Deprecation of java.util.Observer and java.util.Observable
o Deprecation of Class.newInstance()
o Deprecation of various constants and methods in BigDecimal, including
ROUND_DOWN, setScale(int,int), divide(BigDecimal,int,int),
Thanks,
-Rick
