--------------------------------------
Summary: Java 9 requires javax.annotation to be added to the
classpath
Key: SLING-7312
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-7312
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Launchpad
Reporter: Robert Munteanu
Fix For: Starter 10
When running on Java 9 post SLING-7186 startup fails due to the
{{javax.annotation}} package no longer being exported by default, e.g.
{noformat}org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Unable to resolve
org.apache.sling.installer.core [2](R 2.0): missing requirement
[org.apache.sling.installer.core [2](R 2.0)] osgi.wiring.package;
(osgi.wiring.package=javax.annotation) Unresolved requirements:
[[org.apache.sling.installer.core [2](R 2.0)] osgi.wiring.package;
(osgi.wiring.package=javax.annotation)]

org.apache.felix.framework.FrameworkStartLevelImpl.run(FrameworkStartLevelImpl.java:308)
at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:844){noformat}
The interesting part here is that the {{javax.annotation}} classes that are
required - for instance {{javax.annotation.CheckForNull}} are _not_ part of the
JDK-provided {{javax.annotation}} package, they must come from another jar. In
fact, we don't have that Jar deployed in the starter, but instead the JDK
provides:
{noformat}
Generated.class
PostConstruct.class
PreDestroy.class
Resource.class
Resources.class
{noformat}
In a sense, this is very close to the root cause of SLING-7135 - solving one
might solve both but the symptoms are very different so raising it separately.
