Ismael Juma created KAFKA-4501: ---------------------------------- Summary: Support Java 9 Key: KAFKA-4501 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4501 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Ismael Juma Fix For: 0.10.2.0
Java 9 is scheduled to be released in July 2017. We should support it. The new module system enforces access control and things like `setAccessible` cannot, by default, be used to circumvent access control in other modules. There are command-line flags available to disable the behaviour on a module by module basis. Right now, Gradle fails with the latest Java 9 snapshot and Scala 2.12.1 is required if building with Java 9. So we are blocked until the Gradle issues are fixed. I set the "Fix version" to 0.10.2.0, but it's likely to happen for the release after that. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
