Hi, With recent changes to Sling we are very close to having proper Java 9 ( thanks Radu and Karl for their effort ).
One thing that is becoming clear is that we won't be able to support Java 9 without the CLI flag '--add-modules java.se.ee' . That is because: - Tika is yet to have a release which removes JAXB usage - We did not have the time to replace deprecated modules with third party jars, partly because we would need to do it for all supported Java versions, which is complicated. So my proposition, once the latest scripting.core and servlet.resolver release are out it to start the Sling 10 release process, supporting Java 9 with the --add-modules java.se.ee flag, and work towards removing that constraint for Sling 10. We would also run tests with that, obviously. Thoughts? Thanks, Robert
