Hi Freeman
OK, thanks. So we already have 3.2.1 meeting a Java9 + Java8
requirement, which is great. I haven't even tried to build CXF master
with Java 9 :-), will try asap...
Cheers, Sergey

Hi Sergey,
Yep, it’s about to use Java9 to build and run CXF 3.2.x with classical java
“classpath” way. To fully adapt the CXF to use jigsaw module, I think we need a
JDK9 only branch to work with.
Btw, it’s already in current CXF master(3.2.x-SNAPSHOT). We can build and pass
all tests with latest JDK 9.0.1. So CXF 3.2.x have it already. I guess what we
would do next is fork a 3.2.x-fixes branch based on current master, and change
the master version to 4.0.0-SNAPSHOT, and this master branch could be the one
we can experiment with pure JAVA9 new features.
Cheers.

Hi Freeman
By the way, what is status of your Java 9 branch, I understand it was really
about using Java 9 to compile and load CXF 3.2.x ? If so then may be it can be
merged to 3.2.x ?
Cheers, Sergey

If next CXF major release(3.3 or 4.0) are not going to support JDK8 anymore,
it’s about the time to create master branch which is for Java9(and the
successor JDK version which is not very far away). And this also would be easy
for us to adjust CXF to use the jigsaw module eventually, like to add
module-info.java to see how is it going on there.
Best Regards

Hi Sergey,
I'm in favor of the idea. One thing worth noting is that Java 9 is a very
limited support release. According to Oracle's support strategy [1], Java
9 will only be supported until March 2018, then they will be releasing Java
10 (aka 18.3) which also will have a short shelf-life. The next long-term
support release is 18.9 which releases in September. We'll probably want
the new Java 9 master branch to work with 18.3 as well, then maybe consider
a new master branch for 18.9 some time next year. What do you think?
Thanks,
Andy

Hi
Should we open a new Java 9 only master soon enough ?
Thanks, Sergey
