In Eclipse Oxygen with the Java 9 beta support addon, I setup the log4j-api project with Java 9 and Java 7 as the target and it works. I have not checked with the latest Java9 folder though.
We are on the bleeding edge for sure here. The only part that is not great is that we require Java 9 to be installed to build. Us that still the case with the new Java 9 folder set up? This is all good experience anyway. I just want us to keep the release trains coming knowing our busy schedules. I am slightly worried that we could be supporting the Jira tickets coming in but that's how life is in an open source project.
