Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-6000:
--------------------------------------
Unfortunately, this version of OpenJDK 8 causes Derby to fail on VerifyErrors
whenever Derby tries to load an interface which JDBC 4.2 extends with a default
method. For example, when you try to connect to Derby, you get this error:
JAVA ERROR: java.lang.VerifyError: (class:
org/apache/derby/impl/jdbc/EmbedDatabaseMetaData, method: supportsRefCursors
signature: ()Z) Illegal use of nonvirtual function call
...and when you try to run a statement, you get this error:
JAVA ERROR: java.lang.VerifyError: (class:
org/apache/derby/impl/jdbc/EmbedStatement, method: executeLargeUpdate
signature: (Ljava/lang/String;[Ljava/lang/String;)J) Illegal use of nonvirtual
function call
This is an OpenJDK bug tracked by https://jbs.oracle.com/bugs/browse/JDK-8004967
For the moment, this bug prevents Derby from building cleanly under OpenJDK 8.
I made some changes to get the classes to build, but the VerifyErrors kill the
generation of toursdb, and that kills the Derby build.
For the moment, it's probably best to work on the pieces of JDBC 4.2 which can
be pushed into Derby's JDBC 3.0 implementation.

> Open JDK 8 will include maintenance rev 4.2 of JDBC. The public discussion of
> JDBC 4.2 will take place here: http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/170. We will want
> to build Derby support for JDBC 4.2 after a public spec appears. At this
> time, it is unclear what Derby release will carry this support.
