Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-6856:
--------------------------------------
Sorry for being dense, Bryan, but I'm still not understanding. I eliminated
invocations of the "new" operator where certain constructors had been
deprecated and where the compiler would automatically convert a primitive type
to its corresponding wrapper type. But I don't see an example of that situation
in the code snippet above. The following line...
- new String(escapeCharArray));
does not invoke a deprecated constructor so no warning was raised and I did not
touch the line. Are we still talking past one another?
Thanks,
-Rick

> 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.
