James E. King III commented on THRIFT-4550:
-------------------------------------------
The gradle build for java sets sourceCompatibility and targetCompatibility to
1.8 so the compiled bytecode should be compatible however I think it would be
safest on the 0.13.0 release to put openjdk-8 into the build environment and
build the project with jdk 8 instead of jdk 11, but I'm open to suggestions.
We already rest jdk 8 against the Ubuntu Xenial build, so now we have the same
code working on JDK8 and JDK11 in our CI environment (when this issue is
resolved).
> Properly support Java 9

> Key: THRIFT-4550
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4550
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Story
> Components: Java - Compiler
> Reporter: James E. King III
> Priority: Major
>
> Some things like "javax.annotations" are no longer accessible in Java 9
> unless you jump through hoops and they have been deprecated and will be
> removed in a future release.
> The default java in Ubuntu Bionic appears to be Java 9, but 8 is available,
> so I will make the docker file use that for now.
> We use annotations and the "js" library "make check" fails to build when jdk9
> is in use.
> See this page for more details:
