Hi Oskar,
The fix has not been ported to any earlier branches and no-one has
volunteered to manage a new release on those older branches. You are
correct that 10.15.1.3 requires Java 9 or higher. The fix does not look
complicated--it's only one line, excluding the regression test. You
could patch your own workspace for your preferred older branch and build
your own jars with little risk.
Hope this helps,
-Rick

I’m looking to get the following Defect for Derby which is available
in 10.15.3.1
DERBY-6981 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6981>
"SQLSTATE: XJ001, SQLERRMC: java.lang.NullPointerException XJ001.U"
But it is available only in 10.15.3.1 and only run in Java 9.
Is it possible to get the same fix for Java 8? Is it a hard
requirement to run in Java 9?
We could also try and get the source, and re-compile with Java 8, but
not sure if there would be any issues.
Thanks,
Oskar
