Hello,
*Java 9 Compilation:*
I was able to compile with Java 9 after some changes:
- removal of children() override in JMeterTreeNode as per Felix proposal
- Fixing Code impacts of the previous changes
This change will probably break existing plugins using this method. Should
we do it for 3.3 ?
I would wait and make java 9 compilation work after 3.3.
I think we should strive to keep the code stable in times when we want
to do a release, it should make the life easier for the RM.
Java 9 Running:
- Running tests of a Java 8 compiled JMeter with Java 9 failed with
NoClassDefFoundError accessing javax.activation.DataSource
- Adding this option made it work:
- --add-modules java.activation
I pushed :
- https://github.com/apache/jmeter/pull/308
I think even if we release as is 3.3, users will face issues with Java 9,
mainly fixable through addition of :
- --add-modules
But maybe we should check samplers like :
- jms
- ldap
..
Another thing I noticed, was that you can't use jmeter.sh to start
jmeter, when using java 9, as the version string changed from "1.x" to "x".
